Sticky text.....??????

That's right Trevor; if you have a family of typefaces loaded into windows Layout seems to only use one.....

Richard

Hmmm? Thats a weird one mate! Could it have something to do I wonder with "bold" being selected or deselected as an override?

utiler

Hey Richard, I don't even have the option to choose bold!!!!! It just defaults to Light....

Can you list the specifics of the font (font family name) that are not working correctly?
The font is needed to debug the problem.

Thanks John. [I think... ]

This is the particular font type that I'm having trouble with.

specifically the Sterling font.

Also have problems with Linotype Ergo

Andrew, If you start a new blank LO can you select and use each one of the fonts e.g. new drawing for each font? Today I can load "Berlin Sans FB Demi Bold" in a new drawing that definitely wouldn't load the other day, trouble is I can't remember which drawing I was in at the time.

Mate what I'm meaning is could the text box properties be set to bold or light via the BOLD button and this not allowing the selection via the text style dialogue?

Good point Richard, I'll check.

Any luck mate?

Hey Rich, was away from the office yesterday....
Checked the BOLD setting and no luck. I even loaded all the font types I have in the family only to find that the text function now 'sticks' to the first font in the family...
