I'm working on labeling polygonal water features in Pro 3.1.4 and have been struggling with their labels. I'm trying to go for the "curved in polygon" placement with a horizontal position tried first. Depending on the scale and extent shown, though, the engine will sometimes fit the label horizontally within the polygon by compressing or outright removing the spaces between words:
If it can't fit the text without deleting the spaces, I'd rather it place the label somewhere else or curve the label. The next couple photos show slightly different extents/scales where it placed the label better:
This map'll be going online eventually so I don't want to see the spaces removed at any point as you pan or zoom around.
Here's a screengrab of my position settings:
Font width compression is disabled in the Fitting Strategy pane, but even if I enable it and set the lower limit to 100%, it still compresses the spaces the same. How can I fix this?
