Inserted characters

Hi Eric
This is very minor – but on earlier versions I could insert characters from the character viewer (like an inverted Delta = ∇ = volume of displacement) into text and they were fine. On 4.21b2 inserted characters (both in an older drawing or a new drawing) show up as question mark. When you are actually in the text mode they show correctly, but the moment you come out of text mode they revert to ?
As I said - a very minor thing and I can work around it OK. If you can fix it easily that would be great
Sometime when you are looking at text generally it would also be great if a block of text could have a width, so one could type and the text would automatically return to a new line when it got to the fixed width. Makes notes and instructions on drawings much easier to do. Again not a big problem - just on the wish list!
Looks like I may have a 25m sailboat design to do in the autumn – that will be the biggest yet on RealCADD. Current largest is a 20.75m in wood epoxy. All parts (thousands of them!) saved as DXF files to be CNC laser cut.
