I cant change the Font
I have a stack with 2 cards,
On the main menu card I was able to select a font for the three Items I needed. Worked fine
Now on a second card I have 3 fields with information in them and I am unable to make the font bigger, or smaller or even change the font at all HELP please!
The font on the second card is completely different. I have never had a problem like this LC 9.0.3 Mac OS 10.14.5

Hi.
There is NO reason for this. Three things to try:
1- Make a new stack with two cards, and try it there. Does it work normally?
2- Quit and restart LC. If that does not work, restart your computer.
3- I once had to shoot my smart phone, because it was acting badly. That cured it.

No. I executed it, after having convicted it of recalcitrance.
As Smales said in "CaddyShack", "I didn't like to do it, but I felt I owed it to it"

Hahaha, this whole silly business reminds me of Lethal Weapon.

Re: I cant change the Font
Are you setting the font of the field object, or a selection of text within the field?

Re: I cant change the Font
Something similar happened to me a while back, not with fonts but with other properties. It turned out I'd inadvertently made duplicates of the controls and the changes were being applied to the controls underneath the visible ones.Now on a second card I have 3 fields with information in them and I am unable to make the font bigger, or smaller or even change the font at all HELP please!
Check the IDs of the fields or look in the PB to see if that's what happened.

Thanks All,
I'm not quite sure what I did to fix it but I deleted all fields and rebuilt from scratch. That part at least works now.

Re: I cant change the Font
By any chance were you copy / pasting from a text editor?
I am a very frequent user of Apple TextEdit (currently I have v 1.15) as a kind of scratch pad. Usually I use it to just copy code from 1 location to another and then modify it. This time I was coping text from a label and then pasting it into a label in another stack. And for some reason I could not adjust the font, size or anything (except the alignment -- that still worked) after I pasted. Puzzled I googled around for some advice which is how I landed on this thread. Eventually I tried creating a label and typing directly into it, and I could adjust the text perfectly. Then I cut and pasted from TextEdit and I could not. Eventually the lightbulb went on. What if it was TextEdit? I confirmed it was, and I also substituted another editor (Atom) and there was no problem.
I can reliably cause a field or label to basically become unmodifiable with respect to TEXT parameters (excluding align) just by pasting something into it from TextEdit. Anyone else have this problem?
