what about rh8? :face_with_monocle:

I just tested on rhino 9 wip and it doesn´t work on my end either. Are you able to preview the height of the dot from the grasshopper component? I’m trying to change the font or the height in grasshopper but it doesn’t update.

Wait, yeah, secondary text is not updating.

Thanks for reporting.

This will be fixed on next 8.19 RC.
