I am unable to underline any string of text that contains a capitalized "P". In my script.rpy I wrote the following:
"{u}Writer, Director, Project Lead and Image Editor:{/u} Zalor"
"{u}Artist: Eternalsweatyhands{/u}"
"{u}Proofreader and Editor: Zakamutt{/u}"
"{u}Engine Used: Renpy{/u}"
However when I check my VN, the "Proofreader and Editor: Zakamutt" part is not underlined at all. I have tinkered around with this sentence and have found that the exact problem is that I have a capital "P". If I lowercase the "p" then it works as it should. I have linked an image where I demonstrate this problem. Could anybody tell me why this is an issue?

Try putting that line as
Code: Select all
{u}Proofreader and Editor{/u}: Zakamutt
I assume the " : " might be conflicting with the underline function.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but I still have the same problem. If I put the {/u} after the colon in the other entries I don't have a problem either. From tinkering around, the only solid conflict I can find is that Renpy has a problem with capitalized P's when underlining.

Could it be font-related? I just tried like this on mine and it worked fine:
Code: Select all
"{u}Writer, Director, Project Lead and Image Editor:{/u} Zalor"
"{u}Artist: Eternalsweatyhands{/u}"
"{u}Proofreader and Editor: Zakamutt{/u}"
"{u}Engine Used: Renpy{/u}"
Here's how it showed itself (NVL mode)

I think the problem is probably with my font, as I can't see anything else that would be the problem. Thanks for the help by the way!
