Problem with formatting text
Hi:
Anyone know if there is a kind of problem with text formatting with CoC7 ruleset?
CTRL+B does not work
CTRL+I does not work
CTRL+U DOES work
Coc7 is based on CoreRPG, and with CoreRPG all formatting options work. The problem is with CoC7 only.
CoreRPG bold font definition:
<font name="reference-b">
<fgffile name="graphics/fonts/bold-10.fgf" />
<ttf file="graphics/fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Bold.ttf" name="Open Sans Bold" size="14" />
<color value="#000000" />
</font>
Any ideas?
Note: I've already deleted the full data directory (\AppData\Roaming\Fantasy Grounds) + update + clean creation of a new empty campaing.

You can only format text in formatted text controls, not string controls. If you are editing a field (the record is unlocked) and you right-click in the field and you don't see the (Text) radial-menu icon then it's not a formatted text control. For example, the only field on the character sheet "Personal" tab that is a formatted text field is the "Personal Description" field, all the others on that tab are string field controls which don't have text formatting.

I am trying to format text from Story, which works in CoreRPG, and it doesnt in CoC7 for me.

I use the radial menu/bold and nothing happens, no bold text
Additional information: speaking with friends, there are people that claims that work and other that it doesnt, quite strangeLast edited by lozanoje; November 22nd, 2019 at 20:23.

Thanks for providing a specific example of the issue. Hopefully one of the CoC devs will be along soon to review.

More information, this is the story part of the db.xml:
<id-00001>
<text type="formattedtext">
<p><b>Trying</b> <i>text</i> <u>formatting</u></p>
<p></p>
</text>
</id-00001>

Only underline works.
Just for the record: I've deleted the DATA directory (AppData\Roaming\Fantasy Grounds) for testing purposes, then updated FG and created a new empty campaign.Last edited by lozanoje; November 22nd, 2019 at 21:00.

Here is a screenshot of me testing just now.
I used keyboard shortcuts for all - ctrl+2, ctrl+3, ctrl+4, ctrl+5, ctrl+6, ctrl+1, ctrl+b, ctrl+i

Can you do
/console
in chat, move it aside and then
/reload
in chat
Do you get any error or warning messages in the console?

I removed my dev instance and used the updater vaulted pak file
Anything else that you can think might be causing this?
