Odd Text Wrapping

andrewmcgibbon Oct 31, 2008 1:09 PM

I am creating a nav bar for a site. I am using the text tool. I can type any word and it automatically expands to accomodate the word. That is, unless I am typing the letter m followed by the letter e (as in home). It is automatically putting the e on the next line every time no matter what I type. If I type another word, replace it with the word "home" it automatically puts the e on the next line. What on earth!! I'm goin' nuts here.

If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks,
Andy

Any chance of you posting the original .png source file for others to test/confirm?

You must be using an older version of FW? If yes, it's a kerning bug
created by changing fonts a couple of times without retyping the text.
You can fix it by unchecking Auto Kern.
