Title: Adding a copyright symbol in floating text
Post by: Gordo on December 20, 2011, 02:57:49 AM
Perhaps I've missed it in my search; adding a copyright symbol, using Microsoft sans serif font, in Floating Text mode?

Also, how do I get Tekton, an O.T.F., to work in QU?

Thanks,
Gordo

Set the font in the floating text dialogue and key ALT + 0169 on the number pad and you get ©. That is the standard Windows ASCII code. Or copy and paste from another document.

I have Tekton Pro font and that works ok.

Thanks, Terry!   Wow that was fast.  Good news on both items.   I've given the Tekton problem a good try; I'm wondering why it hasn't "shown".  I'm trying Tekton Pro Lite.   I'll get a fresh start in the morning.

Thanks for your quick reply.

If it does not show in Qimage, than it's the wrong type - I can't remember the requirements though  ::)
If you would like the Tekton Pro font, sent me a personal message via the forum with your e-mail address and I can send the font to you.

PS. Ok, I sent it, your address is on your profile.

Hi Terry,

I just noticed on your avatar, what appears to be an operating camera shutter. However, I think you should show it as a vertical shutter blind, and also the image could be upside down. If it were a reflection, instead of an exposure to the sensor, then you would not see the shutter operate. I think that you need to step further back, it seems far to cropped to me. :D ;D

Best wishes,

Ray

You are far too fussy and you missed my finger moving, is that ok. for you?  ::)  Just a bit of fun with  Serif DrawPlus making an animated gif.  8)
