Scrutinizing SPARKLE (Freeway alternative)

Hi Joette,

apologies for the late answer. In general if there’s a layout discrepancy between the in-canvas view and the browser output we will need you to send the .sparkle file that shows the issue and we can investigate. I agree the color shouldn’t make a different, so perhaps there’s some combination of font and exact text frame width that’s causing the problem. We generally solve these quickly and send out a pre-release of Sparkle or a workaround when this happens.

The problem with missing TTF/OTF is Sparkle is rendering the canvas not via HTML but via native code, and we currently don’t have a way to import a woff. I’m not really sure how code access would help you here, as you might get the effect you need in the final published site but you still can’t show the fonts in canvas.

Thanks for the suggestion about rulers. They’re on our list already, but we’re always happy to hear new ideas.

Duncan
