Text is not displaying properly in preview image

New to lightburn, i designed my own test pattern using lightburn only ( no vectors were generated out side of lightburn), when I use the preview feature some of the text is replaced with other text, i get the same thing when I save the image… is this a bug in the update?

the text that is corrupted should say Engrave test in the top left corner and on the left side it should say Speed mm/sec.

I’ve done this by using variable text and forgetting to return it to “ordinary” normal text. Looks like you might have something similar.

It’s not corrupted - it’s doing variable substitution because you likely have that enabled.

I am going to guess you have the text set to be "Date/Time’ ‘Variable Text’. If so, it should be set to ‘Normal’.

I will double check the setting, I entered it as pain text and did not mess with the text/font settings at all… thanks for the suggestions!
