Re: [Laszlo-user] How to only display a space or a non breaking space?

[Henry Minsky]

There appears to be a bug in the way the underlying Flash 7/8 TextField
object handles HTML formatted text, it strips the whitespace when it is
inside of a <font>...</font> tag, for some reason. Our compiler is actually
passing the space character, but it disappears when the TextField gets it,
for some reason.  This doesn't happen in DHTML.
