Scott,
You will see many differences with the "\n" characters in Root text
strings.
- With Postscript the backslash will give a blank
- On X11 with the new TrueTypeFonts the backslash is ignored
- on X11 with the old fonts a backslash generates a new line on the
screen
- on NT, a backslash generates a blank
In TText, TPaveLabels, TPaveText, we are not planning to support the
"\n"
action as being a new line.
