Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Usability Group: SVN version Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Genete (genete) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Some Text Layer parameters don't work Initial Comment: 0.61.06 synfigstudio SVN = 689; synfig SVN = 693 Add a text. Go to Style parameter and change it (to Italic or Oblique) Nothing change. Same with Weight parameter On the other hand the Font Family is not selectable form a list. I can only insert a text there. I have found that (in my Ubuntu 6.10) the following fonts work: Courier Times Serif Verdana Sans Serif (I think this one is the default one when it doesn't recognizes the font) Maybe there are more working. Is it not possible to include the possible fonts from a dialog window?. The user should select a font file (True Type) and the program read the file and render the text. Even more. Sometimes, when click on the parameter to edit it then it show me weird things like a pair of points values, the word Normal, Italic, and others. Finally the Orientation parameter should be called "OffSet" or "Indent" not Orientation. It is confusing.

An orientation of (0,0) means that the 'position' param specifies the position of the top left of the text and (1,1) means it specifies the bottom right. So it can be used for aligning a bunch of text layers I guess. Set the y-orientation to 1 and the text will be right-aligned. So should it be called Alignment instead? Orientation makes me think of rotation, which isn't right at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=757416&aid=1798412&group_id=144022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
