Hello again!

I've noticed that several True Type fonts simply don't show up when selected while using the Label tool. There were several TT fonts that don't seem to work but Monotype Corsiva is the one I was really looking to use for certain labels which is why I remember it specifically.

To replicate the error I created a Label in Arial, then I selected Monotype Corsiva and the label text just disappeared. When I selected another font, it showed up again. That led me to use my down arrow key and start at the top of my font list and work my way down, watching as certain fonts caused the label to simply blink out until you changed the font to the next one in the list.

Thought you'd want to know. Thanks!

Hello,

I've replicated the bug here and will look into fixing it for the next release. Only two of the default Windows fonts made it blink out, but I'm downloading more for testing.

Thanks for the feedback!

Update: This bug has been fixed for the next release. Certain fonts are only available in one style (regular, bold, etc). For a work around, if a font doesn't show up, try different styles. Monotype Corsiva will show if you set the label to italic.

Thanks again for catching this!

Excellent! I wish I would have checked this thread before posting in the other one about the label error. I'll try that tonight with the MC font.

Thanks!
