Mac OS X Leopard and SU - text tool problem
-
I get this same behavior. It looks like SU uses a custom font dialog for this - not sure why they don't use the system default. I tried changing fonts using two methods: by just selecting the text, pressing Command-T for the font selection dialog, and making changes therein - nothing happens. Second method was using the model info window and utilizing the "select all screen text" and "update selected text" buttons - again with no effect.

Same problem here.

Weird; on my macbook I can do filled text ok but I do have the non-responsive font dialogue. except that I can type a font size value in the top-right field.

and move the slider also.
But still cannot change font indeed. -
Found this in my console (in case it helps):

Thank you, Brad. I'm glad to know it's being worked on.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the late response on this topic.
The Font problem is a known issue with Leopard using the 3D Text Tool.
Here are a couple of other gotchas...All the problems are being worked on as I type and we hope to have this problems resolved soon.
A brief Leopard update

Google SketchUp QAIt is not only 3D Text Tool, it is ALL Text tolls !!!
Hum... I hate a response which is off the matter. Feels like a quick "get it off my desk". -
Hi Guys,
Though I'm on Windows, I know that most recent maintenance release 4 covered some issues with Leopard.
Could you download and install and check back whether the problem still exists? -
Hey !!! After reading your message, I launched SU and, bing, it says a newer version is available.
And, YES ! the text problem is solved ! Mac v.6.0 (6.4.120)
Great Job guys ! -
Ah, good news then.
Thanks for reporting back (they need reassurance at the very moment...)

Mac v.6.0 (6.4.120)Hmm, I have that same version and although I can set the font and size of 3D text I can't do anything with dimensional or other text; the font dialogue is simply ignored and attempting to use the context menu and the font->styles option just makes a chirp.
