Change font on non-breakable space

[sschardan]

I am using the following code to prevent orphans in my project:

 

return TaggedTextFromRaw("• Get the best value for your " + RTrim(Field("CustomerBoatInfo")) + " and the best price on a new boat").replace(/(.*)(\s)(.+)$/, "$1 $3");

 

My problem is that the font being used for this line of text renders the non-breakable space as a missing glyph box. If I change the font of the whole line, it renders fine, except for the fact that it is the wrong font.

 

I need to change the font of the non-breakable space only. I have tried inserting the font tag in various places with no luck. Each time I wind up getting an "unknown entity   error. How can I do this?

Just add the <f name="***"> and </f> tags before and after the   entity, like so:

return TaggedTextFromRaw("• Get the best value for your " +  RTrim(Field("CustomerBoatInfo")) + " and the best price on a new  boat").replace(/(.*)(\s)(.+)$/, '$1<f name="Arial"> </f>$3');

Although, in this example, I'm not sure why you need to do the replacement at all, since you already know where the non-breaking space needs to go, between "new" and "boat." So you could just do this instead:

return '•&[size=2]#[/size]32;Get the best value for your ' +  RTrim(Field("CustomerBoatInfo")) + ' and the best price on a new<f  name="Arial"> </f>boat'

Thanks, Dan. Both lines of code are working.
