I did miss that.

I like having two different facts so that if I have any other facts which occurred between the emigration and the immigration, they sort in the correct order on the facts tab.

For example...

Emigration
Marriage (on the ship)
Immigration

Bill

One does wonder why you want an Immigration AND an emigration fact. Surely an emigration from one place means an immigration to another. So an Emigration fact, which contains both From and To places, covers both events. My great uncle emigrated from London to NZ, which naturally meant he immigrated...

I knew about the warnings at fact creation, but I thought John was talking about reports of errors on facts that already existed. That is why I mentioned the plugin. I forgot about that new query so that is a good reminder.

Bill

Native FH does not have that capability, but there is a plugin, Show Project Statistics, which will report on possible errors of that type.

Bill

I'm on the exact same version of Windows and AS as John and can't reproduce the problem in my project or the sample project.

Sounds like maybe there is a problem in the computer setup somewhere.

Bill

Mark, My confusion wasn't in the font section but on the main window. If I selected Segoe UI and then selected Tables on the right, I thought maybe it would only show me tables that used Seqoe UI but instead it showed me all tables. Not a big deal. I now know that the font selection and the options ...

Mark, It took me a few tries to figure out that the two columns were not combined. If I just want to find occurrences of Seqoe UI, I had to leave the options in the right column blank. Now that I figured that out, the plugin seems to be working just fine. I like the new options in the right column. ...

Helen,

This looks good to me.

Thanks,
Bill

I just got the standard response from CP.

"OK - I have logged the issue. It will be passed to the developers for evaluation."

Existing plain or rich text notes open in the appropriate editor. In both editors, there needs to be an opti...

This post has gotten very long winded and I've tried to keep up to some degree, but I've probably missed something. I sometimes use rich text (census grids and individual links in my case) and the rest of the time use plain text. It seems like a setting to always use plain text wouldn't work. It see...

NIck, Yes, as I said earlier, I agree that it may be nothing CP can correct. It may be a Microsoft problem. Since I have a mix of rich text and plain text notes, text from source, etc., it would be nice if there was an easy way to not get this font corruption. I was hoping that Paste Unfomatted Text...

I am making extensive use of rich-text for my sources so I'll expect my text to have formatting in it, so a few font changes to allow symbols to be displayed doesn't really make any difference to me. The thing is that the font doesn't have to be changed to display those symbols. They display just f...

It's worth noting as well that while Bill's example is good evidence for the experts to follow up, it is not the only cause of font contamination. I am 100% certain that it also occurs just when dealing with plain ASCII standard characters. I haven't yet managed to determine precisely the circumsta...

I don't really have a particularly good knowledge of fonts and the way character sets work so don't have a good explanation for this yet but I suspect this may be a difficult issue for CP to solve. That is interesting. Sounds like it may be a Microsoft problem. I guess I have a workaround. When I c...

Could I suggest copying without the last (Hannah Henshaw) line, and seeing what happens then? I have a suspicion that it's the less-than sign ("<") which might be triggering a format since this is a typical open-bracket for an HTML tag. Adrian, I just tried this and there was no difference. I still...

FH should honour the Paste Unformatted Text command and remove the symbols entirely, perhaps with a warning. Do they really need to be removed? Shouldn't they just be kept and displayed in the default font rather than changing the font to Seqoe UI Symbol? Or do you mean to remove them only if they ...

One thing that really surprised me was that if I copy from the web site and paste into Notepad and then cut and paste that into FH using Paste Unformatted Text, I still get the formatting in FH. I thought Notepad was plain text only. So it seems like something in the text itself must be causing FH t...

Although, the CSS requires font-family: monospace for the links so perhaps FH is honouring that the best way it can????

Helen,

I guess my thought is that if I say Paste Unformatted Text, I really don't want any formatting at all.

Bill

Thanks Mike and Helen,

I have created a ticket with CP. I will report back what they respond.

This topic is related to the discussion in the New Wish List Requests forum, 21280|Plain Text Only setting , but I didn't want to muddy up that topic. I am having a problem with Paste Unformatted Text. Go to the website, http://www.rawbw.com/~hinshaw/cgi-bin/id?302. Copy these lines: Image1.jpg Crea...

Mark,

Thank you... that explains it.

I do think that refining the pattern match would be good. If I select "Segoe UI" out of the list, I would expect it to only find matches for that specific font, not any font beginning with those characters.

Thanks,
Bill

Mark, A couple of questions... When I run the plugin, and specify "Segoe UI" I get 80 results. When I specify "Segoe UI Symbol", I get 3 results. When I search for all defined fonts, I get 80 results. My first question is why isn't all defined fonts giving 83 results instead of 80? When I use Notepa...

Jim, Bill, Peter, Mark: Would that feature also offer a way of fixing those erroneous rich text formatted Notes?
I realise it would only be one at a time, but quicker than the current workarounds.

Mike,

That sounds like it would be helpful.

Thanks,
Bill

Ouch! Are you a heavy rich text user, Bill, or are they in fields that should be plain text? Removing all formatting is much easier than doing it selectively. I am not a heavy user of rich text. I only use rich text for Individual Record links and Census grids. However, I do not use Seqoe for these...
