Wrong font style after table in MMH

Unread post by benles »

Using a different font in a table will cause the following lines after the table to be displayed in Times New Roman until MMH draws special text like topic links.

Example found at:

Compile as MMH and you will see.

Version 3.2.5.732

Confirmed!

Problems with tables are well known, and ver 4 will have some fixes.

But it does seem that your font Arial Black in the table is causing the problem. If the font is changed to another type of font - I used Century, then the following text appears correctly as Arial.


As a workaround- Convert table to 2 columns with first column as empty and no format

Make the font in the table Arial and Bold, not Arial Black.

Not perfect, but it works.

Another solution

The choice of font inside the table does not make a difference in my tests. If a font different from that which follows the table is used within the table, the bug will appear.

One solution is to explicitly set and unset a font style after the table. For example, follwing the table with a single space, set with a color other than default black, remedies the problem. All subsequent font styles will then appear as they should.
