Text not formatted correctly

MouldyOldDough

I am setting up a new (mini) PC and have discovered that text is not being formatted correctly - right across the board - from "search box"  to address bar in Firefox and Edge

I am unable to include "spaces" in text .....

Anyideawhy ?

Could you be any more vaguer?

"text is not being formatted correctly" - what's this supposed to mean?  What's it supposed to look like?

National shortage of spaces, sad to say

I mean - it doesn't allow any "spaces" as in Itdoesn'tallowanyspaces.

I've gone through every setting that I can find with no luck

Have you set the correct keyboard?

Yes I did - UK

Try holding the alt key while pressing 32 on the numeric keys (those on the right of the keyboard). This is an alternative way to input a space character. If it works, it's probably a duff keyboard.

The keyboard works fine with my laptop !

Yes, but how many posts have you seen on here where stuff works fine connected to one device but not to another.

Keyboard driver issue perhaps? Particularly as its a new setup.

That's no guarantee and it would take you a couple of seconds to check.

Use Windows on-screen keyboard as that will narrow down the culprit.
