Pro Font anomalies

Hi All,

This is a quick 'heads-up' to anyone using the Pro Font in XCode.

I have been using it throughout as my preferred fixed-width font. I discovered a situation today where the Run Log (Debug Output) was incorrectly showing me information I was outputting from my program.

I had the Run Log displaying the path to my app's bundle (using NSLog in my app), and Pro Font was modifying the characters in the output string.

Where the path should have contained '..Pro/build/..' it was being displayed as '..Prøbuild/..' Where the 'o' and '/' where being combined to produce a 'ø' (o with a slash, if it's not displaying properly here).

There may be other combinations of letters that get 'joined' in this way, I don't know, but switching to a different fixed-width font removed the issue. To be clear, it's not the output information that's correct, but the way Pro Font displays it.

Thought this might save someone else the hassle I went through debugging my application!
