More text formatting problems: Spacing

Legacy Intaglio
1

I have problems with text formatting. In another thread, I reported that text formatting is lost on 10.10, but that is not all. On 10.7, there is another problem: Spacing.

If I use several sizes in the same text block, the spacing of the smaller sized rows are affected by the size (or existance) of the bigger part!

My usual remedy is to split the block into two, so the header is separate from the smaller text. However, this is inconvenient, adds extra work to align the text blocks.

I can´t recreate this behavior. When I open your file both small text blocks are identical under Yosemite+Intaglio3.8:

So you have 3.8 while by 3.4.4 says clearly that it is up to date!? That was odd.

I really hope that upgrading to 3.8 fixes the problem. Well, even better if it also fixes the problems with 10.10. I will try.

Or more exactly, I have the last version that supports 10.7. (It could be a good idea not to just say it is “up to date” when you mean “last supporting this OS version”.) Well, I will try 3.9 on 10.10. I might have used 3.4.4 there too.

Well - the requirements are written down here already:

You can get the small text to move closer to, or away from, the larger text with the Leading and Baseline sliders, but it’s very fiddly and it works very strangely. If you move the sliders too far in the wrong direction, the text will go down when you want it to go up!

For better control, a publishing program might be a better solution. In the early 1990s, I used Quark XPress a lot and its leading and baseline shift controls were superb.

I was wrong, the 3.4.4 version happily claims to be up-to-date on 10.10 as well, so it was not a matter of “last version” but a bug in 3.4.4.

Let me conclude this thread:

  1. Intaglio is not reporting updates properly. Of course I thought I had the latest version when Intaglio says so!

  2. I find 10.7 too important to drop support for. A whole lot of perfectly useful Macs have 10.7 as max OS.
