Can TextPad print Visible Spaces?

I looked through the past 3 years of questions.. didn't see this one...

I'd like to be able to print my file with the Visible Spaces characters turned "on". Is this possible?

Thanks

Theron

TextPad doesn't print the visible space information.

A possible work around is to use TextPad's Replace dialog box, with the relevant Regular expression, to replace the literal spaces,tabs and end of line characters, with other suitable characters. ANSI character numbers 62, 182 and 183 may suffice.

Another possibility might be to create a font identical to whatever font you prefer for printing except for the space characters which get added a dot in the middle.

(I don't know whether that would work as I don't know whether Textpad actually renders the space characters when printing or whether it just leaves the space free)

No such thing. You mean ISO-8859-1 (ISO Latin1), I suspect.
