[solved] text disappears and re-appears
When I zoom in and out some of the text will disappear and then reappear. Then if I keep zooming in, eventually the text stays visible. This does not happen with all the text in the drawing. Is there a way to keep the text visible?

Re: text disappears and re-appears
Most likely, you are using a font that cannot be rendered at all sizes by your operating system.
Possible solutions are:
- using a different font that renders at all zoom levels
- rendering all texts as paths:
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Text Rendering > Render text as paths

I changed the font to standard and that fixed the issue. Thanks.

Re: text disappears and re-appears
Andrew,
Can be replicated with Arial.ttf on a Win system too.
Then 'cannot be rendered at all sizes by your operating system' sounds strange.
Other applications have no problem with any given (odd) size.
TTF (TrueType) fonts are fully scalable.
By default using 'Render text as paths' for various reasons myself.
Downside: At some small scale the text blocks are replaced by a rectangle in uniform color.
QCAD native CXF fonts like Standard.cxf should never be an issue because they are coded as line-art.

CVH
