Label adding unwanted weird symbol at the end

ofirrosner — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 08:06:03 GMT

Hello
im using Esri version 100.12

i noticed something weird, when i put the text "4 500,00\r\n Meow" to a label like this

g.Attributes[LabelKey] = "4 500,00\r\n Meow"

resulting something along the line of

when I remove the space between the 4 and 5("4500,00\r\n Meow")
OR I remove the \r("4500,00\n Meow")
the text appears just fine without the rectangle

I tried to mess around with the LabelDefention properties but it didn't helped
I don't want to manipulate the string with, for example, .Replace()
because it will hinder my performance

is there anyway around it?

Hi, ofirrosner.

When Arcade reads the literal text "4 500,00\r\n Meow" it converts the \r and \n pairs of characters to the carriage-return and line-feed control characters. Labeling attempts to position these and have them rendered using the font requested (or closest font available).

My guess is that the \n line-feed is working as expected - inserting a break between the rows of text, but the \r isn't being ignored or used properly and the font is replacing it with a nodef glyph, often a square box or blank for symbols it doesn't know how to draw. (Although that looks a more chunky box than usual in your image)

Could you tell me what font you're using and I'll see if I can reproduce the problem.

Hi RichardShepherd ,thank you for the quick answer

my symbol looks more chunky because i draw it in ms-paint(I cannot take screenshot from my live session)

anyway im currently using "Arial" i also tried "Times new roman" "Comic sans" and "MS Gothic" all yielded the same result

But when i change to "Calibri" it seems to solve the problem
but i prefer not to change the font

Thanks for the font info.

I've not had any luck reproducing the extra symbol with Runtime back to 100.13 (100.12 is just beyond what I can easily set up) but I have a few more configurations to explore
