Hello

When i use a space in text session,

the longer is not the same before or after a dash

It's very difficult to create a beautiful text in this condition.

To correct this problem i use 2 space before et 1 after but it's not a real solution.

Thanks

Vincent

I don't have Calibri Light on my system, but this is Calibri with Atlantis Word Processor then PicturesToExe. Could you give a sample of the problem?

Hi Vincent,

I just tried Calibri and can't reproduce that issue. Could you tell me the operating system you are using and the version and when Igor gets back from his trip, I'll ask him to look into this.

Bests regards,

Lin

Greetings,

I have Calibri and tried the font in my PTE v. 8.0.6. I am using Windows 8.

I also can not reproduce the problem. See attached.

From the screen shot, the wording is not English, could that be the problem?

I see the same effect as Mavi does. I wrote "H - H" in LibreOffice (black letters) and PTE (white letters). Compare the results shown in the attached images.

I also see the problem but it seems to be because of the Font?

Type the same "H - H - H" in Arial and it is OK.

Change the Font on that Text and the problem arises.

OTOH if Calibri Light is used in Word Pad the same problem does not exist.

One for Igor.

P.S. The problem also seems to be with the "dash" and not with the "H".

Use something else like the "=" and the problem does not exist.

Hi,

We checked our code and we can't find a reason of this problem with a space and dash.

PicturesToExe supports a text ligature (see Wikipedia )

Calibri Light font includes ligatures.

For example, PicturesToExe correctly draws "ff", "fi", "fl" for Calibri font:

Even Microsoft Word / Wordpress don't support ligatures:

PSG/PSP don't support ligatures.

We work with text objects on very low level using special Windows API. Probably the problem happens in Windows.

thank you to be focused on the problem.

But it's very strange. I haven't got the same.

No problem with ligature on PSP, Pack Office software.

I have problem on PTE and a another software NOTE (of Windows).

Very strange.....

The PC with Windows Seven Pro, SP1

Vincent,

Please look at a screenshot of PSP - in word "fiole" letters "f" and "i" are NOT linked in PSP. And these letters are linked in PicturesToExe and Photoshop.

"fi" is a ligature in Calibri fonts. It should be rendered as one virtual symbol. PSP can't do it.

We can easily fix the problem with a space and dash. When we disable support of ligatures the problem doesn't appear.

It seems that a space + dash (" -") is a ligature in Calibri Light and it has wrong width. We don't know where this problem - in Calibri Light font or in Windows API.

Yes, i agree with you.

Difficult to know the origin of this problem : font or Windows or a caracteristic of language choosen on Windows.

Denis,

I see same problem in all recent versions (including 6.5) with Calibri Light.

Also I tried the experiment you did in post #12. Same result.
