Hi,
I test right now the new version of FontExpert 2019 and there is a change in the Text Sample window I am not sure of.
Before (Version 2014) I could click into the window and change the sample "on the fly" and more important, I could use "return" for a new line.. now I need to type into the little window and I can´t manage to get a linebreak. Is it possible to get that feature back? I really got used to it.
Thanks.

Re: FontExpert 2019 Text Sample
In new version you can insert a special marker for new line character ("\n") in the edit box where you type the sample text (where you see "Enter your own text" prompt).
For example:
"My text\nThis is the second line\nThis is the third line"
For example:
"My text\nThis is the second line\nThis is the third line"

ok, thanks.
Any chance the old version comes back?

Re: FontExpert 2019 Text Sample
Text sample in version 14 and earlier allowed in-place editing, but editing mode did not support kerning. So, if the kerning mode was turned ON ("Ke" button pressed), then to type new text you had to turn it OFF, then type sample text, and then turn the Kerning mode ON again. This is the biggest reason why we decided to separate the edit control for typing text sample and the main view where the formatted text is displayed.

Thanks for the explanation and yes, I remember that I had to turn [Ke] off and on again, which wasn´t intuitiv. But still, I would love to see it come back, it is so much easier to work with the Text Sample window then this little text-box... Maybe an option in the settings to turn it back on?
