Re: allow html and printing

Hello.

As we wrote before .Net Framework has no integrated support of HTML so we use external library and can't affect the text length.
But could you specify exactly what inconvenience brings this implementation of text rendering?

Thank you.

That a report using both allow-html and non-allow-html textboxes can never look correct because text length is different.
Our end users and customers of the rendered reports keep telling me that I have a different font on both textboxes.
And I can't select allow-html on all textboxes because then I lose newline chars etc.

Is this going to be the case with all fonts? Right now we only use calibri in our reports. Normal text is mostly set to 8pt.

We have checked several the most commonly used fonts. The Calibri font length differs more then other ones. The Arial font give us the best result.
Please, look at the attached report template.

Hi, We also have an issue using Calibri font whereby the text that prints out is all jumbled. Changing the text within the template to Arial does resolve the issue however our branded font is Calibri which our organisation is very keen to get back using.

Hello.

Sorry, but we can't change this.
We can only hope for any changes in .Net Framework.

Thank you.
