    Bug Wingdings FAIL

    Dear Xara...

    This slipped past all your testing since v12.0.

    The following glyph renders in v11 and earlier, it FAILS thereafter:

    Wingdings - Character Code 0xFF.xar

    The XAR and the PNG both mention Character code 0xFF, which is one for the early MS Windows logo.

    I needed to use it for something and got a totally blank page on Preview and Export.
    It works perfectly in the earlier XDA versions I have as far back as v5.

    I have not check the other glyphs above 0x7F.

    Maybe your font is broken?

    ernie, it appears perfectly in my design page; it then FAILs to Render. Have you looked at the page in your browser?

    It works on all prior versions.

    there is more than one way a graphic can fail to render, perhaps you could be more specific in your opening posts

    Possibly ernie. I can use the fonts in all other editors so I have to assume a Xara hiccough.
    I have Run as administrator.

    I have just run in v17 and v11.
    V11 creates XaraWDEmbeddedHTMLfont1.ttf file, which if I add to the v17 output, all works.

    v17 has a XaraWDGeneratedHTMLfont1.woff (32kB) & XaraWDEmbeddedHTMLfont1.eot (25kB) pair of files.
    @font-face {font-family: 'Wingdings';font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;src: url("XaraWDGeneratedHTMLfont1.woff") format("woff"), url("XaraWDEmbeddedHTMLfont1.eot?") format("embedded-opentype"), local('Wingdings');}
    .xr_s0 {font-family:'Wingdings';font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-size:256px;text-decoration:none;font-feature-settings:'kern' 0,'liga' 0,'clig' 0,'calt' 0,'titl' 0,'salt' 0,'swsh' 0,'cswh' 0;text-transform: none;color:#000000;background-color:Transparent;letter-spacing:0em;}
    v11 has a XaraWDGeneratedHTMLfont1.woff (58kB) & XaraWDEmbeddedHTMLfont1.eot (32kB) pair of files.
    @font-face {font-family: 'Wingdings Regular';font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;src: url("XaraWDEmbeddedHTMLfont1.eot?") format("embedded-opentype"), url("XaraWDEmbeddedHTMLfont1.ttf") format("truetype"), local('Wingdings Regular'), local("Wingdings");}
    The glyph appears in the current v17 Preview for a split second then vanishes.

    The generated HTML for V17 is:
    <span class="xr_tl Normal_text xr_s0" style="top: 0px;"></span>
    That for v11 is:
    <span class="xr_tl Normal_text" style="top: -230.13px;font-family:'Wingdings Regular';font-size:256px;color:#000000;"></span>
    It all seems down to Xara not generating the right code.

    I copied across another CharMap copy onto the design page and on Previewing the missing old and new glyphs both appear.

    Bizarre.
