In some situations the characters is not shown fully in SPoD editor.

In the attached file there are several examples.

AD=PV The right part of D is missing  
‘DATO’ The O looks like a C  
UDFYLD-SB Part of second D is missing.

Letter P can sometimes look like F.

I am using ClearType from Microsoft.

Any solution to avoid this ?

Hi Dion,

I just checked my installation and as you can see in the attachment I have the same issue, although less pronounced as in your example. An immediate solution is to select a different font. I use courier new and that has this problem, but fonts like Fixedsys or Lucida console do not. Well, not on my machine anyway 🙂
