    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>
    I cant see CoC7 bold font definition because Smite has decided to put all rulesets in the vault directory and now all are password protected, impeding us to create new extensions and content to improve the rulesets.

    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 strange

    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>
    And the results:

    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.

    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

    Doesn't work for me. I notice you have v3.3.8a, whereas I have v3.3.8. Are you in test or live?

    EDIT: Actually "test" shows v3.3.8 too and the same problem exists.

    Do you have FGU installed on that PC?
