Jim Monson Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Some how all *spaces* between all names on a large map in aPub v2 were deleted leaving all letters together without spaces (ugh!). Is this a bug in the "convert text to art text" option in v2? Is there anyway to correct this globally? How can I avoid this happening in the future? Very discouraging. Quote
MikeTO Posted January 27 Posted January 27 This is likely a font-specific issue. What font are you using and where did it come from? Does the same problem occur with other standard fonts? Select one of the spaces and press Ctrl+U to convert it to its Unicode number. What number appears? If it's not U+0020 then it's not a normal space. When you choose Convert to Art Text, all you're doing is converting a text frame to an art text object. The text should appear identical after conversion.

If you have Preview mode disabled & the frame text has multiple lines of text, you will see a change: a new return icon at the end of each line.

MikeTO Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Jim, without this information I don't know how much help we can provide: What font are you using and where did it come from? Does the same problem occur with other standard fonts? Select one of the spaces and press Ctrl+U to convert it to its Unicode number. What number appears?

Is this a bug in the "convert text to art text" option in v2? Are only "names" affected – or all/any words? Are the space characters actually "deleted" – or are they just not visible as distance between words? Does this happen in this document only and always when you convert frame text to art text – or do you mean the question about converted text as a separate question? What is the word spacing setting for the affected text? Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
