otf font displays incorrectly

[stevenrowat]

Hi,
Does Nisus pro 2.01 supposedly support otf fonts?
I have just downloaded a free one that displays well in TextEdit, but Nisus does it poorly.

The problem is that it's using some sort of greying out -- it's a handwriting font, Chemist Rough -- and Nisus instead fills in everything fully black. TextEdit shows the greying correctly, so I know the Apple system can handle it.

I'll send screenshots if OTF is supposed to be supported.

Thanks

NWP does support OTF fonts as much as the OSX text engine allows, but that should be at least as much as TextEdit provides.

I downloaded the Chemist font from here, and it looks fine to me:

(TextEdit on top, NWP on bottom)

Are you seeing something different?

Thanks, I was before, but I downloaded and re-installed and mine looks like this in NWP also.

The problem I had at first was that the Chemist and Chemist Rough didn't get given separate names and both appeared under the family 'Chemist' as 'regular'; there were two Regulars showing up in the NWP list. Then on the NWP page itself NWP seemed to be trying to draw both of them at once.

This time I didn't install the base Chemist, just the 'Rough', and it is showing up as yours -- which I think is actually the 'Rough'.

I think the designer did something wrong with the naming, because there was a confusion in the two types in TextEdit also, as I recall -- although TextEdit did manage to render them differently.

Ah yes, I also had some issues with the font names. Well, I'm glad everything is working properly for you in the end!
