TAB symbol displaying issue #205

Closed georgtree closed 4 months ago

georgtree commented 4 months ago

Hello! I found the issue with TAB symbol in text block: It renders it like a square, for now I use four spaces for indentation, but maybe there is a quick fix for it? Thank you in advance!

P.S. the source of text is: example.txt

Yes, TAB is not handled (yet) so you get a weird 'unprintable char' placeholder. TAB is not a character to display, but an information to use to set the position of the next character. I will eventually handle that.

George, can you please update xschem and test TABs in your examples? It should work now. tcl variable tabstop sets the tab position (default 8) you can set this in xschemrc: set tabstop 4 to change the default tab stops.
