The following characters are not supported by the selected font, so they won't be added to the canvas.

Hi, I wondered if anyone could help with this problem I'm having when adding text.

I'm getting the following error message:

"The following characters are not supported by the selected font, so they won't be added to the canvas."

I'm getting this error message when I want to add extra full stops either side of a word/phrase.  i.e.:  ...drawing...   

I have tried it with nearly all the fonts I have installed - same error message.

It's just that the client has asked for it this way and I don't want to tell them it can't be done.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Are you copying and pasting the text into videoscribe from another program or document? Seems as though you are getting something other than regular full stops.

Try opening the text window and just typing "...reading..." and see if that works.

If you still get the error, name the specific font you are using.

Manually type the full stops into videoscribe if necessary.

 

Hi Mike,

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

I did copy and paste it - mainly because the text is in Romanian and I didn't want to make any typos.

I've now tried what you suggested and it seems to work fine.

Thanks again!

Richard
