Rotated white text is gone

[Gerd Muller]

Hi all

In a layout I need white text on a dark background. No problem, as long as the text is not rotated. When I rotate the text, it isn't shown anymore. Why?

Mac OS 9.04, FM 4.0v2

I notice the same problem in v5.

If you make the text color a very light gray (or, apparently, any color except white), it should solve the problem.

I'm seeing what I think is the same problem (Win98, FMP 5),

and it's not restricted to white text. In fact, the text in

question is colored, _and_ it displayed fine for a while but

has now decided it will only show up in Layout mode. Not a

big deal in this particular case, but I'm curious about the cause.

I can make it work by selecting white text, rotating it (it goes), selecting a yellow text it comes back), change the background to the text box to a different colour, change back to white text (it is still there),change text box background to original colour (text is still there).

What a watse of time.

hey.. i noticed this problem too.. when i did it. the white text would only disapear if i made the background transparent... if i gave the background any color at all the white text would show up.
