Problem Note 70958: Font ligature might need to be removed in order to correctly display codes in SAS® Studio programs
 |  |  |  |  |
When using Mozilla Firefox as your browser and entering code into SAS Studio programs, you might encounter a display problem:
- Create a program in SAS Studio.
- Add the following code in the program
titlle1 'aabbccddeeffgghhiijkkllmmnnooppgqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz ;
title2 'aabbccddeefgghhiijjkkllmmnnooppgqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz ;
title2 'aabbccddeefgghhiijjkkllmmnnooppgqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz ;
proc print data=SASHELP.CLASS; run;
After you run the program, the codes are displayed incorrectly as shown in the following screen shot:
As shown above, title1 contains two fs that occupy the same amount of screen space as the single f in title2 in the program editor and in the log.
