InDesign :: Some Special Characters Are Displays As Box?
Feb 14, 2014
I've exported the ePub file from InDesign CC and found some special characters are looks as box i.e., as junk. But while unzip the ePub and open the particular XHTML in internet explore, it displays fine.
I'm running into an issue when conducting an XML Merge.The situation:
- Document has been structured using tags so that it could be exported to XML - The XML document was then translated by professional translators into Russian from English - All XML tags in English/Russian version are the same, no XML has changed - XML Merge is conducted and all content is placed into the the InDesign document and the English/Russian content both has the proper tags selected - Russian content however, does not include any special characters such as line breaks, or spaces. This is causing Paragraph Styles to be wrong, and essentially the whole document is formatted incorrectly
The Question:
- How can you include special/hidden characters such as line breaks into the original XML Export? I keep getting the error "Content contains characters that can not be encoded" - If line breaks are included and are inserted into XML, when I conduct the XML Merge will InDesign recognize these codes/characters that are between the XML Tags?
I've been wanting to upgrade to CS6 but have one issue that is preventing me from using it exclusively during testing that did not occur in CS5.
When typing special characters the formatting jumps all over the place and the speical characters end up at the end of text and not where I typed them.
It seems that I cannot enter a special character into the text of a title with Alt-0xxx, even though this works with just about all other Windows applications. Is this a feature or a bug? Or is there a way to do this that I'm unaware of?
For the moment I'm entering the special characters into a text editor, then copying and pasting them into the title, which works, but is awkward. I don't understand why VideoStudio doesn't let me enter the characters directly.
The characters in question are things like typographic quotes, some accented characters, bugs like copyright and registered trademark, and other things that are not unusual to need to use in a title.
I'm experiencing a very bizarre problem in CS with a font special character. I used Extensis Suitcase to examine all the font characters for a particular font that I'm using on a project. The character mapping shows the key combination for the character I want is (on a Mac) Option/Alt + Z.
This works in every other application on my computer, including my email application, but for some reason, within CS it brings up the Omega character. Any idea why this happens and how I change it? I even tried to type the character in Word and cut and paste it into Photoshop and it changes! What gives?
I want to type in gimp(using text tool) with some special characters from my native language like(ā, ē, č, ķ, ģ). If i try to do it in gimp I get á, é, ć, ḱ, ǵ. Are there some settings or plugins that allow me to type these non-English characters like I do it usually.
when I used VS 10 and VS 11, I was able to enter special characters in Titles (captions) by pressing [alt] and the special character number. For example, when I need a ñ (n with a tilde on top, found in Spanish words), I pressed [alt] and 164 at the same time. However with VS X2, it does not work and I could not enter special characters in Titles. is this no longer available in VS X2 or I did something wrong in the settings/configuration of VS 12?
As everybody know copy/paste excel file into an inventor drawing is sometimes difficult. As you can see in the printscreen a special character is not converted. I supposed it's because this special character is not in the AIGDT or is in the extended character set wich is not considered in Inventor?
Windows 7; Photoshop 13 (CS6).I am typing some text in a new layer; no problem so far. I need to insert some special characters that are not on the keyboard, e.g.TōkaiThat also was not a problem; I copied the character from the Windows Character Map.
Now I want to copy/paste more special characters from the Character Map, e.g. ☏ (U+260F) or ✉ (U+2709)
Now all of a sudden this does not work; the pasted characters appear in Photoshop as a boxed X.The font I have been using was Arial, but when I pasted these Unicode characters, the font automatically changed to Myriad Pro. Changing the font back to Arial does not alter the boxed X.
I took these Unicode characters from the Character Map using font Arial Unicode MS. That font does not appear in Photoshop.Questions:are there any Unicode fonts available in Photoshop?is there any other way to paste such characters into Photoshop?
Is there a way to find and/or replace "very" special characters like [carriage return], [backspace] or even [tab mark], considering that the first thing that comes to mind when saying special characters is the standard and extended ASCII only.
I'm trying to write a simple Custom Command that sets any layer that matches "$-*" to a specific color. But as soon as AutoCAD sees the $, it thinks I'm trying to do a DIESEL expression. Supposedly, the quote marks specify that the enclosed characters should be treated as plain text, but that doesn't happen.Here's what I've got:
^C^C-LAYER;C;252;"$-*";;
And this is what I get:
Command: -LAYERCurrent layer: "$-HATCH-00-002-PW-BOAT"Enter an option [?/Make/Set/New/Rename/ON/OFF/Color/Ltype/LWeight/MATerial/Plot/Freeze/Thaw/LOck/Unlock/stAte/Description/rEconcile]: CNew color [Truecolor/COlorbook] : 252Enter name list of layer(s) for color 252 <$-HATCH-00-002-PW-BOAT>: "No matching layer names found.Enter an option [?/Make/Set/New/Rename/ON/OFF/Color/Ltype/LWeight/MATerial/Plot/Freeze/Thaw/LOck/Unlock/stAte/Description/rEconcile]: It stops, hanging at the incompleted -LAYER command prompt.
I use several scripts in Illustrator. Some of them I use in this way: [URL] ....
Now I tried to built in two other scripts in the palette. In this scripts it is required to use special characters in variables. Standalone these scripts are work correct. Here is an simple example:
// exampleScript.jsx var a = 'u201d'+" example "+'u201d'; alert(a)
I get this (correct) result:
But when I call this example script with bridge talk:
var scriptToLoad = new File(pathToScript + "/exampleScript.jsx"); var win = new Window('palette', 'own palette'); var btnSelect = win.add('button', undefined, 'example'); [Code] .....
I see numerous redundant copies of every font family style listed when I select a font family STYLE of any typeface, such as Helvetica or Arial, for example.
Throughout the day the list increases copies of each style exponentially by the hour. At the end of the day I am scrolling through 98 copies of Helvetica Bold to get to the next style, like Black. There should only be one Helv. Bold, one Black, one Condensed, and so on.
My fonts are cleaned and organized frequently with any corrupted fonts being removed immediately. I use FontExplorer X, Font Doctor and other type apps to manage fonts because FontBook is still retarded.

of Adobe Photoshop v6.0.1 (quite old, I know, but it do all I want and on my old HW I did not plan/want to use any more recent version, because they are HUGE and with just a little preferences trick, I did not need to reinstall my PS - ever ), yet as Czech user, I need my software to type some special characters as well. These are looking like this:
[URL]...
Now the only problem is, that some of them PS just refuse to type. Seven small and seven caps are just wrong. See the line "for PS:"...
I battled the problem even by editing the fonts itsels, because that seems to work with Adobe Illustrator, yet this also cause the edited fonts to be useless in another programs. So I looked deeply and in the Adobe settings in directory Fonts / Reqrd are directory CMaps and perhaps editing the character map used will be better and usable solution? how to do it or even determine with file from the 96 files in the CMaps directory are right now used by Adobe Photoshop?
i have line in the drawing that exists on layer A-Wall it has different lineweight 0.05 from true wall. Now usually my routine : i select this line and then select similar to convert it to layer glazing.
i need lisp that by one command convert the objects on layer A-wall with layer 0.05 only to glazing.
When I create a URL link in a CS6 InDesign document, InDesign is immediately discarding the "?," "=," and " &"characters and rereformatting them incorrectly, breaking the link.For the record, it's turning the:
? into %3F = into %3D & into %26
Upon further research, I see that InDesign is encoding these characters unneccessarily, since they only need to be encoded when they're not being used in URL syntax, which they are here.
I have section headings in my document that have a Paragraph style applied to them. They are always of the form d.d.d.d( ) follow by a short sentance of text. For eg:
5.2.2.1 The rain in Spain falls gently on the crane
I am looking for a GREP style that can underline every word character with a character style but not the spaces between the words. It seems to involve nested iterations which I'm not sure how to do including a non-marking expression. Well it aint working how I think it should…
5.2.2.1 The rain in Spain falls gently on the crane.
I think this GREP style should get it: (?<= )((S)+(?:s))+ The positive looks back on the Tab between the last digit of section number and first word but the non-marking subexpressions are not excepting the spaces from underlining, instead I end up with all the Head Text underlines like so:
5.2.2.1 The rain in Spain falls gently on the crane
I have two images/photos to which I applied a gradient feather effect. The documment printed fine, but when the PDF is viewed online in Fire Fox, the gradient feather no longer displays and only the sharp edges of the photo are visible. Is there a specific setting when saving to PDF that I need to select for best viewing online? I'm on a Mac CS 5.5.
I am looking to produce a print job in Five colours, CMYK plus a pantone colour. Is there a way to get Photoshop to generate or support a 5 colour file. an extra channel isn't regonized as an extra colour by quark express. At the moment the current answer is two tiffs over the top of each other with the upper set to over print, but this is a little clumsy!
i have this border i made, a line weach consists from a number of colors, when i want to place it around a straight line shape i have no problem and all i need to do is to copy and paste and "free trasform" it acording to the angle of the shape. the problem is with a round shape, is there a way to control this line and make it round?
OK I've been a experienced photoshop user and I've been hit by a car. I have CS6. I am trying to remember how to special effects for Icons like beveling.
this project that im working on. Im trying to create a high speed effect, like your travelling through space or racing on a race track. you have those streaks in the design to give the illusion of travelling at high speed.
Im looking to use some football players on the design so what i should use for a background. The design will be quite small and im looking to create the design as an animated gif when its done.
I had a pc crash and am reloading all my old programs including VS 4. I found everything except a couple effect. One was a crown that could be adjusted and placed on a head, another was a wand that went across the screen with sparkling bits, another had butterflies, etc.
