When typing in google docs - the characters go off screen

[vitorneto]

Hi There

i notice when you type the characters overtake the cursor, meaning as and when you type a note the typing cursor is always on the left, but with the extension on as you type the characters start jumping to the right of the cursor.

can you help.

Can confirm this. the cursor does not move with the text so after a few characters the cursor is behind (to the left of) recently entered text making it impossible to type for any length of time.

Also for whatever reason the page margins on screen are not being honoured.

Happy to test and report bugs.

Any resolution on this? My students find the font very helpful, but they're not able to use it when typing their papers within Google Docs, as half of their document goes off the screen.

Hey,

Sorry for the delay. This is currently being worked on. I have also contact the Google docs and Google accessbility team to give full support for the font. I will be updating this thread in more detail soon.

Warm regards

Have students that are experiencing this issue. Would like to know if there is a workaround for them.
Cursor is 7-10 letters behind where it should be. With students having difficulty with reading this can cause even more issues.
Thank you for your time,

@RobertJGabriel Let me know how that goes. It'd be really cool.
