Fraction Text Display

[Bruce Kieffer]

I don't understand why this has not been fixed. Such a basic need, but I can't use it because my customers will not accept the poor look.

but in the meantime @Bruce Kieffer- can you use Tekton without stacked fractions ? I would think that would be more acceptable to your client than having to choose another font. 

 

I could, but the other text fraction goofiness with Vectorworks comes into play... is this 1 1/16 or 11/16? Is this 2 3/32 or 23/32?

Sadly, it looks like SP4 has not fixed this issue for VW 2017 on the mac, though from what I can tell it's 'only' a screen display issue, i.e. hardcopies and PDF exports render correctly. Still, you'd think this one could get fixed... please?

I just tried exporting to PDF and it shows the fractions displayed correctly. This is a step forward and helpful. VW did freeze up the second time I tried to export! 30 seconds to reboot... Yep, that's nuts!

This is still an issue. I am a mac user and I have Vectoworks 2018. Anybody know a font that works for fractions?

This is fixed in Vectorworks 2019. Thanks.
