Re: "System" font on Mac - diff between LC 8 and LC 9??
Seems this is undesirable as a rule. What I do is set the font, size and style of the STACK to something, and then if I want the control to match the default of the stack, I set font size and style to empty.

\"System\" font on Mac - diff between LC 8 and LC 9??
So, in LC8 changes were made to the UI font themes and the System font was one new addition. According to the dictionary... The list of font names includes a set of special-purpose names which automatically select the matching font for the platform. You can use these to request "the font used for buttons" without having to hard-code platform-specific font names. These fonts are: - (Text) - the font used for fields and other controls with editable content - (Menu) - the font used for menu items - (Message) - the font used for buttons, labels and other communication from the app - (Styled Text) - the font used by default for rich text - (System) - the font for controls not covered by another category - (Tooltip) - the font used for displaying tooltips - (Default) - selects one of the UI fonts automatically based on the control type Given what I am seeing is on the latest MacOS and there seems to be a difference between LC8 and LC9 it would seem that as the underlying OS is the same LC9 is picking a different font for "System" than LC8. Judging by f/b this only occurs for MacOS 10.11 or later. Perhaps LC9 is picking a different font than LC8 which only becomes apparent in these later OS's Perhaps LC9 has a bug and is falling back on some other mechanism to allocate the actual font to the "System". It would probably be good to know, one way or the other in case it reverts or breaks again with the next OS release. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

LC 8.1.3 (Mac OS 10.7.5): I get the bold but NOT the italic. LC 9.0.0 DP 4 (Mac OS 10.7.5: exactly the same. Best, Richmond.

Hmm. Seems this has been sort of noted but no mention is made of the fix. http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17344 ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Yes, same here. I’m on 10.12.5, but I imagine it would behave the same on older systems. > On Apr 11, 2017, at 8:14 PM, James Hale via use-livecode > wrote: > > Could other with a Mac please give this a go to see if my observation is > local to my machine alone? > > Create a new stack in LC8 and place a field. > Open the message box and enter... >set the htmltext of fld 1 to "this is bold and this is > italic" > > You should see > this is bold and this is italic > (assuming the styles survive the emailing) > Now open the PI for the field and click on the FONT tab. > I think by default the font is called "Text" and it is one of the Lc named > options. > Now change the font to "system". > > Do the styles remain visible in the field? > > Repeat the above with LC 9 > > For me... > With LC8 the styles disappear. > With LC9 they don't. > > > > James > > > > > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
"System" font on Mac - diff between LC 8 and LC 9??
Could other with a Mac please give this a go to see if my observation is local to my machine alone? Create a new stack in LC8 and place a field. Open the message box and enter... set the htmltext of fld 1 to "this is bold and this is italic" You should see this is bold and this is italic (assuming the styles survive the emailing) Now open the PI for the field and click on the FONT tab. I think by default the font is called "Text" and it is one of the Lc named options. Now change the font to "system". Do the styles remain visible in the field? Repeat the above with LC 9 For me...
