Missing character in font - Apple Casual

I imported the Apple Casual font and it works just fine, except that for the first time I used an apostrophe in text, and it just does not appear. When I open the text object to edit it, the apostrophe is there, but it does not render on the screen.


I know that I could just change fonts, but I already have an investment in several presentations in this font and want consistency for the rest of the presentations I make in the series.


Is there a quick fix of some kind?

One of the issues with apostrophes was that while the simple ones worked (' ") the more "fancy one" with twirls (‘ ’ “ ”) didn't and when you copied paste into our text box with these they would not work.... 


Well v2.3.5 was released this week and contains the extra characters. See http://blog.videoscribe.co/videoscribe-2-3-5-release-notes/ for the full picture and a download link

 

Just a footnote to this! As well as downloading VideoScribe v2.3.5 you will also need to delete your font from VideoScribe and re-import it into v2.3.5 so the extra characters are imported for that font. 

OK I found a solution. Perhaps the apostrophe is treated as some kind of escape character since putting in two apostrophes caused one to appear in the rendered text.

Good find. Thanks for posting the solution.
