Stacked Fractions

**mcrump** · 05-28-2009, 05:34 AM

Does anyone know if Chief can utilize stacked fractions. Is it a particular font perhaps? The reason that I ask is that when I used to use Softplan, their font SPHAND would stack, but their SPHANDCOMPRESSED or the other two supplied fonts would not. I use the SPHAND font in my Chief plans now and (IMHO) it looks better than any other font that I have used, but it won't stack the fractions. As a matter of fact I'll post it if anyone is interested in taking a look at it.

Michael,

Would like to check out that font, thanks!

Also, Chief will not stack fractions with any of the fonts I have tried. And, I don't even know if it is a font property or a program property to do that.

I know it has been suggested here before. As always, send in your suggestions as the more, the better chance to get it.

CA has stated that they simply use the fonts as provided by windows

I think this is a program issue, not a font issue. Open a word processor program, type in 1/2, 1/4, whatever, and the fraction stacks (for me at least). Chief is deciding not to stack them.

Has anyone found out if we can stack fractions yet? It would be helpful!

Thanks for the font. It also has the symbols for plate line, center line and eights fractions - hard to find in other fonts.
