Text+ monospaced issue

PostSun Apr 26, 2015 11:34 am

Hi.

I'm trying to build an effect with Text+,
which requires truly monospaced letter-spacing.

Although I pulled the monospaced slider up to 1,
the text is not monospaced at all, as you can see from the attached comp.

Is this a bug or a feature?...:-)

No sure if this will solve your issue, but the slider can go higher than 1 (as do many max values in Fusion)

Hi Rony.

Thanks for the reply.

Give it a try...increase the monospaced value
and the issue is still the same...just different...:-)

In my understanding, "monospaced" means that the space between the rectangular shapes
should be all the same size.
When increasing the value, not only the spacing changes, but the actual *size* of the rectangles as well.
(Making them even less monospaced...:-))

Turn off "Use font defined kerning". It's forcing your Y and A to be closer than they should be, or rather, it's making them closer AS they should be. :)

Ahhh.....D'oh.

Brilliant, thanks!
Should have figured *that* out myself....:-)

BTW...this is what I needed it for.
Works like a charme, once you do it correctly...:-)
