Text Overwriting itself

[phaze06]

Using BichkamScriptFancy2 the text overwrites itself when using capitals.
The font works fine in Microsoft word. The curser actually appears before
the letter just typed. Is there a fix for this problem?

 

[Mary Sauer]

The Bickham fonts are ornate and use a lot of space. I can't think of any reason
why you would use all capitals of this type. I don't have your particular
Bickham font, but I have some of the others. Words are difficult to read when
all caps are used.

In the format menu, change the character spacing.

I am not using all caps. I am typing “Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hayesâ€. After I

type the capital M the cursor appears behind the letter, then when I type the
small letter “r.â€, it appears inside the capital letter and continues through
the capital letter. The same happens with Robert and Hayes. It does not
matter what size my text box is, my text wrapping style, margins etc.

I have a brand new computer running Windows Vista (completely updated on all
hardware drivers and software) and using Publisher 2007. As I stated, the
fonts work fine in Microsoft Word 2007. It is in Publisher 2007 that I am
experiencing problems with certain fonts. When printed from Publisher it
prints just like it appears in the text box with the overwrite.

=====================================
Personally, I still think it could be a driver issue....
(Video Driver and /or possibly the Printer Driver)
but you would certainly know if you have searched
the support sites of your hardware mfgs for the
most current Vista drivers.

If you have a retail version of MS Office, you may
be better served if you contact MS Support:

It's laughable you are defending that position.

It works fine in Word

In Publisher, what he sees - which isn't good - is also what his
printer prints.

It's something else... involving Publisher and/or his Publisher page
settings.

==============================
Pardon me for having a thought...and
the fact is...Publisher is more demanding
on drivers than Word.

Maybe you should enlighten us as to
what the correct solution is and save the
OP from all this misery.

I found and downloaded your font. It behaves exactly the same way as you have
described. It is very strange. I have no suggestion for you except to use a
different font. Mr. & Mrs. doesn't work well in Word using this font.

It is really strange that the font works fine in MS Word. Are you with
Microsoft? Is there somewhere I can send the information so maybe they can
find out what is wrong and fix the problem? There are other fonts that do
the same thing.

 

[Mary Sauer]

If you copy from Word, paste special as a Word Office Word Document Object, the
phrase comes over correct, but you cannot change it. If you ungroup the object
Publisher will revert to the weird way it was before.

The Publisher Beta development site is still working, you will have to use your
passport password.

Looks like Mary Sauer has bad video and printer drivers too.

D'ya think it's contagious?

================================
It's certainly possible that Mary needs
a driver update.

Am I always right? No...

But at least I'm trying to assist folks
instead of trying to ridicule them.

Guess what...the font works correctly
on my Vista partition in Pub2007.

Here's a screenshot:

So...apparently the problem is not Vista,
not Publisher 2007 and not a corrupted
font. Hmmm, I wonder what it could be?

It is strange, John. I thought maybe it was the 48 pts is why yours worked and
mine didn't. It doesn't make any difference, small or large it still doesn't
work. As for the video driver, I have the latest Vista driver from NVIDIA
(April 12, 2007). What graphics card do you have?

Hi Mary,

The font size does not make a
difference on my system, I just
used the larger size for the screen
shot so it would be easier to see.
FWIW...it works fine on XP and
Vista in Pub 2007.

I have an older system with an NVIDIA
GeForce PCX 5300 graphics card.
I don't know if the issue is related to the
video driver, printer driver or something
else but I don't think it's a Publisher 2007
issue.

I downloaded my copy of the font
from the following link:

I compared your font with my font, it is exactly the same. One of those
mysteries we will never figure out.

My Graphics card is GeForce 7800 GTX. I also installed the font on my XP box, it
has an ATI graphics card, the font misbehaves there too. I turned the
acceleration down on both computers, did not make a difference.

I installed the font on my 98 machine, (NVIDIA Riva 128) it worked correctly. If
I type more than three periods in a row the period turns into a rectangle
symbol. I just think it is a poorly made font.

===============================================
If I type more than three periods I get regular
periods instead of the fancy character.

Since you get the rectangle symbol, and I get
a period...it still seems like a graphics issue
to me. Can you type more that three periods
on your 98 machine?

Bottom line...we'll probably never know the answer.

It was the 98 that came up with the rectangle symbols. If I type a series of
periods in the Vista computer I get a series of fancy periods. It is an Adobe
font. I kind of wonder if somewhere along the line it was converted from a Type
1 font file or maybe a Mac.

Thanks for the update Mary.

I guess it will remain a mystery )
