    Has anyone managed to get Truetype fonts working properly in CED?

    Yes, you need a monospaced font of course. But it definitely looks
    nice! The problem is that when a character is typed, the line to the
    right is moved rightwards as it should, but the new character is not
    inserted. When you get the display updated some other way, everything
    looks fine again. Does anyone have a clue of how to fix this, or is it
    a problem with CED itself?

    No point in doing a screenshot, it looks like a normal CED display
    (well, with a nice antialiased font.. :-))

    Let's say I've typed

    abcde

    and I position the cursor after "b" and type "x"

    Now it should look like this:

    abxcde

    but instead it looks like

    abbcde

    Well.. anyone with MorphOS could try for themselves, I'm just
    wondering if this is a general problem or if there's something wrong
    with the (few) monospaced truetype fonts that I've found. If it's
    general I'll report it as a bug, of course.

    Hi

    Seems like something might be wrong with mapping of the font ?

    Anyway, I will try to make it a go, when having time. I always
    using Ced to nearly all letterwriting and mostly everything.
    It's fast and easy to use.

    The Pica-font gives clear and good text in my thought.

    Cheers

    What I have noticed is that many cheap font's don't have those necessary letters for scandinavic use. Luckily Pegasos can take allmost all common font formats so there is plenty alternatives to choose from.

    Well.. this was a very stupid post, because the problem (whatever it
    was) is solved in 1.4.. which was out to betatesters when I posted
    this (I just hadn't checked my mail that day yet, duh..).

    There is also one monospaced font supporting all Swedish characters
    supplied with 1.4. Well, I know we're not supposed to discuss contents
    of 1.4 in public, but since I already started it, well.. obviously
    there's no problem anymore.

    Ofcourse any sane truetype font should contain the entire ISO/CP soup at least, if not entire unicode :-)
