Photoshop :: Accessing Font Special Characters
Feb 17, 2005
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'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.
For instance, if I type ALT+0169 (The copyright symbol ©) then my name, the © ends up at the end of my name. I have to reopen CS5 to do any speical characters using the ALT key + number combinatiion.
To try it, just type [Space][Space][ALT+0169] then any text. If your system is doing what mine does, the text jumps around and puts the © at the end of the text not the start.
I've tried to copy and put the character at the end of the text but to no avail. It seems CS6 only allows the character at the end of the text line.
It's the only thing keeping me from upgrading to CS6 which otherwise I really like.

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?

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.

Its seems important to be able to insert and use special characters in text, as much of the graphics from Paint.net are used on web pages, etc.
When I try to cut & paste text with special chacters it substitutes things like â for ®.
Or did I overlook this feature?

I am starting to use LR3 on my iMac (Lion OS)
I noticed that when I search for a filename that contains special characters (e.g. "é" or "ç" or "à"), Lightroom cannot find the word.
So if I look for file petit-dejeuner, LR3 will find it but when I look for petit-déjeuner, LR will not find any picture that contains this word.
I have a lot of pictures with special characters (french)
See picture name below has "déjeuner", it shows in lightroom catalog
When I add "déj" in the text search filter, picture disappears from search results

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?

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'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?

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?

Why is this so and what can I do?
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] .....
Here is the same script and the wrong result:

I have Photoshop 7 and Win XP, but am not very experienced in PS. I just downloaded the Bickham Script Pro from Adobe . In Photoshop, I did some type in the regular characters, but I cannot find how to access the alternate characters for this font. The dropdown next to the right of the font box says "regular" and there are no other options to select.

I have some Japanese fonts installed on my cpu and I was trying to use them in PhotoShop (PS) but they don't show up as the Japanese (and other) characters. In photoshop CS2 in the font selection drop down menu you know it gives you a preview of that font using the word "Sample" for that particular font. For example if you were to look at Arial to the right of it the word "Sample" will be demostrated in the Arial font. (yeah that was confusing to type) Well in that dropdown menu it displays in the Japanese characters. However, when I select that font to begin typing it uses normal alphanumeric characters. When i previewed the font in the windows font viewer it is also displays as normal alphanumeric characters.
Example fonts: MS Gothic, MingLIU,SimSun.
I believe all of these are True Type Fonts

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.

I'm using Illustrator CS6 on a Mountain Lion Mac. Got a weird problem with one of my fonts. I'm used to type accented characters like é by typing option-e plus e. Which works so far. On one of my fonts however, EuroComic, when I want to type the é character and start with option-e, it already changes the font to Myriad Pro. Typing the e after that makes it é, but in Myriad Pro, not EuroComic. It has always worked before when I was still using Snow Leopard. And it's not a font problem I think, cause in Indesign that same way of using option-e plus e works. The é is at the correct spot in EuroComic cause when I select all text and change it to EuroComic (after having typed that é), not only does all text turn into EuroComic again, but also that now Myriad Pro é turns back to EuroComic é. What could it be that could make illustrator turn the font to Myriad Pro after typing option-e on that parcitular font? With other fonts like Arial etc.

Let's say I create a poster with a couple of blocks of text in Illustrator, using a single font. Then, I generate a PDF of the poster.
Now, on the same computer, I open the PDF in Illustrator, and Illustrator pops-up an alert saying some text has been outlined to preserve appearance. And, indeed, here and there throughout the text, some words, combination of words, or whole lines of text have been outlined, but most of the text is still live.
Why does this happen? There's no difference, font-wise, between the text that is untouched, and the text that got outlined. Same face, same weight. In fact, the same word, set the same way, will be untouched in one line, and be outlined elsewhere in the text. It's really baffling.

(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(setq cnt 1.0)
(setq r_cnt 0.0)
(setq ts 32)
(setq x 0.0)
(setq y 0.0)
[code]...
I want to know:
1- what can I do for numbers more than 999?
2- How can I know the number of characters inside a font?
3-how can improve my LISP program to have complete characters inside the fonts?
