After looking at the code, I understand now. newline.sym is
a rather empty font def file, so the statements inside the following if
statement (o_text_basic.nw:744) never got executed if newline.sym was
loaded into the hash table:
...
if (o_font_set->font_prim_objs->next != NULL) {
...
However, if I put an object (line etc...; can be anything since it is
ignored) into newline.sym then multi-line text lines work again.
I have checked the necessary changes into CVS. Please let me know if
you think this fixes the problem sufficiently.
