Custom text feature removed in LO 2013?

I have one if you do architecture. It's in Imperial, but the symbols and notes you might like.

I know there's a way to save "Favorite" fonts on Mac, but I don't know of any way to do this on Windows... Could you explain what you were doing in LayOut 3? We didn't make any changes to the font panel (that I know of...)

thanks,
Marc

Aaah. That's what happened. I was using a Mac with previous version, but now have moved to a PC.

Thankyou! I saw that the other day but hadn't downloaded yet. Have now

I don't do architecture, I'm a structural engineer. But that certainly gives those starting out a framework to build their own. Very generous of you.

Yep - definitely NO font window on Mac Layout - quite annoying!!!! I use fonts all the time in layouts - ugh! Show me I am wrong!

That's it, Mike. The "Collections" and I was creating my own "Favourites".

Hi Mike-

The Font window is available under "Window -> Show Fonts" in the menu bar. I always look for this command in the "Text" menu instead, which is wrong. Where were you looking for it? If we get enough complaints I might be able to move the command.

thanks,
Marc

Mike, it has been this way since the beginning. On the PC there is a Text window for setting fonts and their attributes. On Mac, because it uses Mac's font utility, it isn't accessed as a window in the same way. It would be nice to have it in the tray but I find it is easy enough to right click on the text and change the font or get there from the Window menu.

Can you get it snap in the stack and collapse like the other windows?
