PM9 not displaying CE fonts correctly!

MarinRacic — Fri, 19 May 2023 14:06:39 GMT

What's up with PM9? It doesn't show any of the Central European characters when I enter them into Book Info fields and then use 'em through Auto Text option in the layout.

I've tried this both on OS X and Windows - same problem, just a little bit different behaviour! On a Mac, characters aren's displayed at all in the Book Info entries while on the Windows platform CE characters get substituted with some western encoding characters.

A bug? PM 3.1 works fine with this...

BTW, ALL the CE characters are displayed ok when entered directly in the layout (not using Book Info).

Did not have much chance to try it, but it may depend on the font and on the flavour of the system font specified. If it is Western, it won't work.

Everything's set up the same way it was in PM3.1! Central European encoding and the same font used through Book Info > AutoText or just plain Text Tool yields different results. Seems to me it's a pretty big bug!

Hi

The problem with Autotext and CE fonts can be solved on PC with registry editor. Got to regedit (start/run/regedit) and find HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/... to find Plotmaker 3.1. In a field FONT SCRIPT CODE write 238 instead of 0. Restart Plotmaker and CE fonts will work. The same goes for Archicad 8.1 or 9 for using CE characters in layer names, stories,...
