Has anyone successfully worked with multi-line text using jit.textfile and jit.gl.text2d in Windows? It seems to work well on a Mac but Windows is displaying multiple squares in the spaces where the line-breaks occur. Please see patch, thanks.

Thanks, I can reproduce here, we will look into it.

Also, as a note, when posting patches, please either send as a file attachment or use 'copy compressed'.

this happens to happen 5 years later ... with latest Max6.1.2

Also, is there a precise way to get a text rendered without any "Äö√†√∂¬¨¬©r" when opening a patch made on OSX, on a windows platform (apart from avoiding all accents like é, è, ê, ë ...) ?

FWIW, I used the code below to filter dirty characters out.

did you find any solutions for that problem?

just replace all the 0s by 32 (ASCII code for space). The problem was that text2d doesn't know what to do with 0 value in the matrix.

put a [jit.expr @expr in[0]+(in[0]==0)*.126] before the text2d
