Hi Krischu.
...
Somewhere (import from another application???) there seems to be a translation issue (is there a reference to "\C7;" in any documentation?).

Thanks, Panchdara,

actually I can't think of having imported the text from elsewhere but I cannot 100% exclude. If you are saying it is impossible to
add Rich Text from within QCad inadvertently, it must have been so.

I remember that I clicked on the "A"-Icon and typed in Text. What I did was mirroring the text layer at some point in time inbetween and then continued adding text.

But so what, Husky also pointed out a way to replace the \C7; entries. I did it the old fashioned way, using "vi" in a oneliner command rather than clicking :)

Thanks CVH. I'll have another peek at text formatting.
