Last week, I asked if anybody had noticed problems with text scaling
differently from graphics in 6.5. I also asked Tech Support.
Interesting. Tech Support claimed that it was not a problem, and sent
me screen shots to "prove" that assertion. Using those screen shots, I
showed them that the problem exists, even in those screen shots. Tech
Support US escalated the issue to Graphisoft, Hungary. I got this from
them:
"This is a known "error" in AC under Windows operating system. It
cannot resize the text object with equal ratio in height and in width.
"This error will be solved in a latter main release of AC. Under
the MAC version of AC this error does not happen."
On further inquiry, here is what came back today:
"We are handling this problem at highest priority, but it is too complex
so the correction takes long time.
Currently I can suggest only one thing to you: Make a small test with
different fonts, because the zoom command affects the fonts' width
differently.
"Some font width increasing less than others. I hope we can correct this
error eventually."
Hm. So we have no workaround, and we don't know when, if ever, it will
get fixed.
Just to restate the problem:
If I type a line of text, and embed a graphic by just placing it here
<graphic> and then add more text here.
What happens, is that as I zoom in and out, the text moves in relation
to the graphic. There seems no way to predict exactly where the text
will layout in relation to the graphic when I go to plot. Makes it much
harder to embed a symbol into a line of text.
