Dash doesn't work

[Lolookie]

When I try to type en dash or em dash (alt + 150; alt + 151), – or —, the dash won't appear in the video itself. Other symbols appear like they should be, but the dashes do not.

Where is this being typed - in the text entry box?  These two characters appear, respectively, when your codes are entered...    û ù

Copy/Paste your dash into the text box.

Hi

What font are you using?

I use simple text overlay and edit it in the text editor. I've already tried copy/pasting the dashes, but it didn't help.

No characters appear instead of the dashes – for example, when I try to type ?:!–()/—¨¨, in the clip preview it appears like ?:!()/¨¨

Normally I use Arial. I tried to use a different font, but it didn't help.

If the dashes are typed into the text box directly, or pasted from Notepad, they appear.  Perhaps the other unusual characters are causing what you see.

Hi

Something odd happening then.  With VP 8.77 all the Ariel characters appear as normal in the editor; clip preview and Sequence preview.....

....and the exported mp4 is also correct......

Can't think of any reason why - and _ won't appear in VP .....  They appear in the forum entry and presumably in your EMs.
