Autonumber Text Character Format Not Converted Correctly

Report · Feb 19, 2010

for FM8 and RH7 integration

I have a style that includes text entered by autnumbering. The autonumber text has a character format.

When integrated with RH, the autonumber text becomes editable but retains its text characteristics from the character format.

However, I need to have it transformed by the .css to a different font, Arial. (In RH, the character format comes across as FM_UITEXT; the FM of which indicates that FM does not know how to format the style.)

Because the text comes across with the original FM font, RH turns it to Times Roman, so when I generate WebHelp the browser picks up the font as that as well. This makes the text inconsistent with the rest of my online help.

I have tried to define the character format in fmstyles.css with the following two styles, which do not work:

SPAN.UIText {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    text-transform: none;
    vertical-align: baseline;
    color: #000000;
    font-style: Regular;
    font-weight: 900;
    font-size: 10.000000pt;
    text-decoration: none;
}

and just:

Emphasize.UIText {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    text-transform: none;
    vertical-align: baseline;
    color: #000000;
    font-style: Regular;
    font-weight: 900;
    font-size: 10.000000pt;

text-decoration: none;
}

Has anyone seen this problem and perhaps fixed it or come up with a workaround?

It looks like this is a bug, which may have been fixed in TCS2, though I have not had a chance to confirm it.

Others with TCS2 tell me that converting autonumber text from FM to RH goes smoothly and any character format applied to the autonumber also converts correctly.
