Hi, all. I have a weird development in a stack with formatted HTML text in
it. For some reason, some of the text shows at 3 point size, and in other
cases seems to be appropriate size. When I copy and paste the text into
Word, it is the appropriate size. What could be causing this weird display
issue in my stack? This seems to be case with all versions of Livecode I try
(5 and 6), and it shows up in both Macintosh and Windows Livecode apps. Any
ideas of what's wrong? The font is nothing exotic.
html <> htmlText
If you're setting the htmlText from html, you'll discover that <font
size=3> means something different in browsers than it does in LC.
In a browser font sizes 1 through 8 are shorthand for larger sizes, used
in the pre-CSS days for things like section headers, while in LC all
font sizes are interpreted as literal point values.
You may want to check the htmlText of the field and determine if that's
the case, perhaps doing a replace on those to a size specifier better
suited for LC.
Another possibility may be that the font size isn't specified in the
styled text run at all, but is set too small in the field's textSize
property.
Let us know what you find....
