More font woes :(

[Mark Waddingham]

Hi Judy,

Just took a quick look at your stack - the issue you are having with the
missing text is that the group 'contents' that contains the fields
'Content' and 'Topic' is invisible - setting the visible property to true
should make the text appear.

Best wishes,

Mark.
