Thanks Bill, The following examples do indeed show that the process looks better when unboxed, but in the beta 10 version there seems to be a missing character at the bottom right because the null has not been removed in the middle of the array. If I understand you correctly, this appears to be the bug that is breaking my display script.
I will hold off changing my script until this settles out a little more. I really appreciate the work that you and Henry are putting into this. It is difficult enough for me to work through the issues with a web based display of nouns (which includes variable widths and boxes drawn after content dimensions have been determined). Trying to align with only the tools of text would be really tough. Cheers, bob JVERSION Engine: j805/j64/darwin Beta-9: commercial/2016-07-05T17:11:06 Library: 8.05.02 Qt IDE: 1.4.10/5.4.2 Platform: Darwin 64 Installer: J805 install InstallPath: /applications/j64-80509 Contact: www.jsoftware.com 3 5 $ ": 'a',u:3101 30009 aఝ� ��a�� �甹a 3 u: 15 $ ": 'a',u:3101 30009 97 224 176 157 231 148 185 97 224 176 157 231 148 185 97 JVERSION Engine: j805/j64/darwin Beta-10: commercial/2016-08-01T13:22:59 Library: 8.05.02 Qt IDE: 1.4.10/5.4.2 Platform: Darwin 64 Installer: J805 install InstallPath: /applications/j64-805 Contact: www.jsoftware.com 3 5 $ ": 'a',u:3101 30009 aఝ� ��a� ��甹 3 u: 15 $ ": 'a',u:3101 30009 NB.
