LC Community 6.7.1 (RC3) OSX Yosemite
Created a new project to test and placed a text entry field on it.
Changed textFormat to Lucida Grande, 14, Italic.
Entered text and it was not Italic despite the property inspector
saying it was Italic.
Is there a bug?
No, it's a change in how fonts are rendered. See the release notes for
version 6.7:
It's worth noting that the previous OS X routines used synthesised font
styles. That is, bold and italic styles were emulated (by slanting or
thickening) if the font being rendered was not bold or italic. This is
not the case for the new routines. If there is not a font present on the
system with the given style, the plain alternative will be used.
The is the case with the default font - Lucida Grande. By default,
systems only come with the bold variant. Thus, if you have a field with
the default font and italic style, it will be rendered in plain style.
