At first I thought it was a carriage return issue between Mac & Windows.

When I open the file in Rhino for Windows, with the text from the script run on a Mac, it look like this in text properties.

So the above was from the script run in Rhino for Mac.

If I run the same script in Windows, I get the same thing in the text properties panel.

This makes it hard to edit any of the text in Windows, quickly.

SO the question is, can I add a carriage return to the script to make the Windows text look like the Mac text in the properties panel?

Text portion of code …

point = rs.GetPoint("Point for text insertion")
if point:
    tObjs=[]
    #create your text string
textString='''Calculated {mType} Weight:
{grams} grams in Rhino
{finished} grams finished

context = {
        "mType":mType,
        "grams":grams,

		"cost1":cost1,
		"text":text,
		"designer":designer,
		"fileBy":fileBy,
		"build_for":build_for,

}

tObjs.append(rs.AddText(textString.format(**context),point,tHt))

Thanks
