Text - multiple spacebar spaces only seen as one space. Increase spacing at many places on line?

Zwaeback75 Jun 28, 2014 7:10 PM

Hi,

I have a line of text - "monkey is good bird is happy elephant is thin dog is running"

At three points along the line I need to have five, instead of one, spacebar spaces.

Edge only seems to see one of the spacebar spaces.

What is the easiest way of having Edge recognize extra spaces at different points along a line? Is this possible within the Edge interface or do I have to use css?

Thanks for your help!

Assume your Text is called "Text" on the stage, then you can use .html() to edit the text and use &nbsp to insert space between letters.

sym.$("Text").html("H"+"&nbsp"+"&nbsp"+"&nbsp"+"ELLO")

The result is: H ELLO

Thanks Departure.

That method definitely works.

I'll use it until Edge has the capability of creating the extra spaces within the interface. I have a lot of text to add spaces to. Alternatively, I might just copy text svgs over from Illustrator.

Thanks again.
