Hi Mr. Peter, I upgraded with the 2.1 and still have the same kerning issue. I looked at the bug reports, and am unsure how to add to them? I also did a search using "kerning ott font" and found this report:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-4475 I am thinking for the Qur'anic ayah (verse) cards with translation that I will make, it is easiest to just copy/paste from the document directly into Mnemosyne, if the kerning issue can be fixed. Otherwise, I will have to re-adjust every .ppt slide I created as 6" x 22" down to a smaller size and smaller font, which is time consuming, and then creating PNG files and adding them to each card. If I am able to copy/paste directly, it would also be nice if there were a way to select 'automatic' font size adjustment for a card type (this is a feature available in BrillKids Little Reader software); and I created a separate thread for that issue. Thank you. ~ Ayesha On Wednesday, October 3, 2012 8:56:59 AM UTC-4, Peter Bienstman wrote: > > Hi, > > The new version will overwrite the old program, but not your data > obviously. > > The extra info from your colleague is useful to narrow things down, and > a quick search reveals the following bug reports, which might be related: > https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-8207 > > And to a lesser extent: > https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-12799 > > Feel free to add to the first bug report and mention the font you have > issues with. > > Peter > > On 10/03/2012 02:25 PM, Ayesha Nicole wrote: > > Thank you!
