Hi, when I copy any text in Scrivener (Calibri [my default], no style) and then paste into an area with no style, it always converts to Segoe UI. The only way to avoid it is Ctrl Shft V, to supposedly strip out the formatting from the pasted content. But the copied content was Calibri. If I explicity format the original with another typeface, that does get copied correctly. I’ve looked everywhere in Scriv for Segoe UI and can’t find any mention. I’ve even run the Documents>Convert>Text to Default Formatting and then tried again; same thing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
In the old days, if a font wasn’t on the system, it would make a substitution, but you’re copying Calibri, so it must be there. Nevertheless, I think there is a substitution happening. Perhaps there is an issue with that font on your system?
Or perhaps how is the font being addressed. I don’t see it specified where the text is being copied from, if it is from Scrivener itself that would be odd, but if it is from another program or web page, then it might be calling Calibri something it doesn’t understand, in the clipboard.
Segoe is a fallback font, so that does track with the above comment.
Thanks both for the feedback. Calibri is the font I use in Word, and there’s no issue. Sorry, yes, I should have said – that’s copying and pasting within the same scrivener document. I’ve edited the OP to say that clearly. It’s incredibly strange and I cannot see any logical reason (such as a setting), which is why I suspect a bug.
It’s not the end of the world, of course , and I can easily Shift-Ctrl-V to force the correct behaviour (or even use AutoHotKey to interpret Ctrl-V as Shift-Ctrl-V in scriv).
