Released: Jan 22, 2021

Updates in 8.3.0 Build 5750

Features

• Improved handling of Asian fonts.
  • Added a new global option to automatically translate Asian font names when a project or topic is loaded.
  • Chinese characters in style names are now supported.
• eWriter eBooks: updated viewer application, now supports <track> tags for video subtitles.
• Inline Text Toggles support optional icons.
• Image Shortcuts Gallery: the drop-down image gallery load method has been modified to better distribute the load time when accessing remote drives.
• Equations in HTML: equations are exported to HTML as transparent PNG images at twice their display size, to improve the appearance on high-resolution displays.
• Symbol Fonts in HTML: Help+Manual can export certain user-defined fonts as inline SVG. The fill-rule for those inline SVG has been changed to “nonzero” to improve the appearance of overlapping characters such as script fonts.
• Email links in Webhelp: all email links (mailto://) now have an explicit target attribute. While this attribute is usually ignored by the web browser, it might apply if the default email app is GMail or a similar web service. The target attribute ensures that the email app opens in a new tab or window.

Fixes

• Screen Capture: error fixed when the hotkey stop screen capture was already globally reserved by another program.
• Spell Check: the suggestions list of the spelling checker did use MS Sans Serif as its default font, which is not fully capable of Unicode. As a result, some special characters may not have been displayed correctly.
• Table Text Rotation: error fix when applying table text rotation to an entire table.
