PSPX9 Problem with Auto Kerning on particular fonts

Post by Ravelli »

Hello all,

with some fonts I have a random problem: When I open a PSP file including text or while editing text, and the text has auto kerning activated, it seems PSP sets the kerning to a wrong value, to a far too high value, so that most letters are disappearing out of the window.

This is how the text should look alike:

And this is how it often looks alike:

Here a video which shows me opening the test file and clicking around a bit until the problem occurs (at 0:34):

You will see, that the fonts FangSong, Gabriola and Junicode are the only fonts being affected by this problem.

If you want to test it yourself, you can find the font Junicode here: http://junicode.sourceforge.net/
Also, attached to this message you can find my PSP Test file.

Has anyone an idea how to fix this problem? It appears too often, so I avoid using Auto Kerning, but Junicode looks much better with it, and I have to use it. My PSP Version is 19.1.0.29 x64.

For any feedback or help many thanks in advance.
