Hello, everyone!

I am trying to set the font of the first character of a button label to a different font than the rest of the label text. I keep throwing errors (can't set this property, error in object expression, etc.) when trying combinations to get this to work.

Here is what I am using:
This throws an error in object expression.
This throws an error in setting this property.

Is it possible to set the first character of a button label to a different font than the rest of the label text?

If so, could someone please point me in the right direction?

I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi cflatt,

set the textFont of button "myButton" to "Arial"

is working for me without problems or errors! LC 8.01 on a Mac.

I am afraid you can only set the textfont for CHUNKS in FIELDS
but not for the label of a button.

Just tried to cheat with HTML text etc. no way, sorry.

Klaus,

Thanks for the confirmation.

I have gotten much better in my scripting these past few years, and thought I was just losing my mind.

I appreciate it.

Hope you've been well

By the way, I am using 8.1.0 (dp 1)

Hi.

You would have to kluge the label. Maybe overlay a field onto a button with its "showName" property set to "false" ?

Create a label, create an image or graph, group it.
