Draft Text -> Font problem

[Packmers]

Hi
i tried to generate a text with draft on a solid. I works until i've to select a font. Then comes a failure in the output an it hangs on the font input. no shape is generated. I tried with different fonts- no chance.
When I write i.e. "kjkjkj" (without selecting an ttf) it produces a shape on the tree. Now i can select my font without a problem and it works.
I tried this with 18.3 and 19.17803
packmers...

Thats the failuremessage:

Code: Select all

Are you using the Toolbar interface or the TaskView interface?

I get an different error with Toolbar, but Taskview seems to work fine.

Hi
I found, it works, when I use a default Font, in the setup of draw.
It doesn't work if I select and load the font during the Shape- Generating.

It doesn't work if I select and load the font during the Shape- Generating.

Confirmed in freecad-daily:

if Shapestring default font file is empty, and
user is in Toolbar mode:

As a work-around, change to taskview mode and provide a default font file in Draft Preferences tab #4.
