I'm only an occasional Photoshop user; but most of the things I need to do to tweak or fake screenshots I can manage. Today's challenge, though, has me stumped. I want to enter two unicode characters U+2776 and U+2777 or and – see, no problem for a mere browser.I managed to copy/paste from FrameMaker. The file/layer information in the tab renders the characters correctly, the layers palette renders them correctly, but the drawing itself just displays the x-on-box "problem" glyph. What's more, while I can select these glyphs and try to apply a different font (Lucida Sans Unicode), PhotoShop sticks with MyriadPro.A patient, step by step explanation of how to use the font of my choice and enter these unicode characters.
I am trying to type Tamil text in Photoshop CS3. I typed Tamil text using Google Transliteration [URL] then pasted in Photoshop, but it is not working. As Google Transliteration uses Unicode, it must work in photoshop as well (if Photoshop supports Unicode).
Does photoshop support Unicode? If so what am I missing?
If photoshop does not support Unicode, how can I type Tamil text in photoshop?
I am using PS CS5 extended and while typing in Malayalam, the stage render the font incorrectly. But the layer name appears correctly. This is a sample text i have captured. Irrespective of the font i am using, the same error is coming and the word is getting displayed correctly on my MS Word. I typed the text using URL....
I am trying to write the image description into the EXIF UserComment tag as UNICODE. Unfortunately, in the TIFF6 and EXIF file format description, there is no specification for the format to use for the UNICODE characters. Is it 2-byte LE, 2-byte BE, UTF-8, UTF-16, ??? Photoshop seems to treat this tag as some 2-byte characters, at least when changing the byte order of the file (for example when reading DNG and storing as TIFF), the bytes of the UserComment tag get swapped too. However, since the tag is of the type "Undefined", byte swapping should not take place. I tried to add little endian, big endian and UTF-8 byte marks, but the text still gets messed up. So, what is the correct format for this tag? Does it help to store the comment as undefined (8 * 0x00 as format identifier) and then use the appropriate byte marks for the text string? A related problem: Why does Photoshop remove the GPS tag when reading a DNG file and then storing as TIFF, but retains the tag when storing as JPEG? Does not make much sense to me...
How do you get ArcText to recognize special characters.
If I create a string in MText with special characters IE "Rotate the handle 45 %%d" or "Rotate the handle 45 U+00B0", I get a text string in the drawing with the degree symbol.
If I enter the same string in the ArcText input box, the degree symbol does not show up in the drawing, only the control characters.
In researching this problem, the only thing I could find, anywhere, was a Rev14 ArcText update specifically for special characters.
According to adobe, Illustrator CS4, CS5 have the unicode font support for asian languages. but when i pasted the text in CS4 , it shows junk characters. I applied unicode font(Vrinda) my target langugae.
What are the details to paste the text in unicode.
I need to access certain unicode characters (namely the x/8 fractions). I have the appropriate font installed, and the characters display in every other program on the machine, but they are not displaying correctly in Illustrator. If I type the characters in using alt codes, the 3/8 character displays as "", the 1/8 character displays as "[", etc. Is there some setting I need to change to enable support for Unicode characters?
If I type the character in another program, copy it, and paste it into Illustrator, it shows up as a box with an X through it. If I highlight the box and change the font to one that supports the character, then the character does display correctly. Is there a way to type the character directly into Illustrator?
If I try to add effects like Text-->Numbers or Obsolete-->Basic Text to a solid in my comp, i get the following error message "After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters.". I have done some research on this and found people that had the same issue when trying to import footage or images. I get the message just by starting a new comp adding a solid and then try to add the effects mentioned above, so their is no footage or image involved here.
I`m running on Win7 Professional 64bit service pack 1 (english) and After Effects CC (12.2.1.5). I don`t think this is part of the problem but here are more hardware infos (just in case):
Do you folks have any ideas on how to get Photoshop to work properly with Unicode Hindi or Bengali fonts? The conjuncts get all broken when I paste in text, short vowels attach to the next consonant instead of the previos, and so forth.
I have a trial version of Illustrator and am finding that glyphs with no unicode are not accessible. If I double-click on the glyph, I get a blank space or a question mark. Is this a function of the trial version?
I frequently require mathematical symbols such as ≤ or ≥, which are easy enough to insert as unicode characters and supported by common fonts such as Arial.
However, when I try to import text containing such characters, such as within an Excel table, they just import as "?" instead. I've tried pasting Excel table in various formats. As an Excel object or a Metafile the overall formatting is retained correctly but the symbols become question marks. Enhanced Metafile preserves the symbols but alters the fonts so that the text no longer fits within the cell, ruining the layout.
I've also noticed that when I manually insert unicode symbols using the text tool in CorelDraw X6 it changes the font to Adobe Fangsong Std R (which looks awful). If I try to change the font after the fact, everything changes except the symbols. Highlighting the symbols also looks different: rounded highlight rectangle versus normal rectangle for ordinary text. It seems CorelDraw refuses to treat these symbols as ordinary unicode text forcing them instead into this horrible wirey font instead.
I also have issues try to export from CorelDraw to say Powerpoint where Corel will automatically format some text as ligatures but when exporting these just show up as "?" in Powerpoint.
1) Is there any way to get CorelDraw X6 to reliably import and export text, including unicode symbols, without messing up the formatting/layout. 2) is there any way to get CorelDraw not to change the font of symbols?
Corel Supports Unicode & Open type Features but does not show ithi oberon,can you tell me why the screen shows combined ligature while corel document shows part of ligature made of.i wanna use text as displayed in encode check the first word Language Gujarati
as you know, you can write chars on text screen easily: (write-line (strcat "\U+" "2122"))
but if you want to write chars to a text file, this command does not work: (write-line (strcat "\U+" "2122") TxtFileVar)
Here is a part of my code to test: (defun C:HexGen ( / d f S w x y z h c)(setq d '("0" "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F") f (open "c:\0000-FFFF.txt" "w"))(foreach w d (foreach x d (foreach y d (progn (setq S "") (foreach z d (progn (setq h (strcat w x y z)) (setq c (strcat "\U+" h));;;<===character (setq S (strcat S " " (strcat h " = " c ))) ) ) (write-line S f) ) ) )) (close f)(startapp "notepad" "c:\0000-FFFF.txt"))
How can i use unicode characters within a Photoshop CS3 text layer? An example:
In Word, i can type
261A
followed by
[Alt-key] C
then i see an unicode character in Word (the left-pointing hand).
This does not work in Photoshop. I also cannot copy-paste the unicode character from Word to Photoshop.
What i can do of course:
- do a screenshot of the character
- print the character to PDF and import it hi-res to Photoshop
But is it not possible to type in unicode directly. On the net, i didnt find a compact solution.
Is there a way to insert unicode smoothly to a PS text layer?
Id like unicode not so much for foreign languages, more for symbols (I know there are symbol font sets like Dingbats that don't require unicode). To look up unicode, i use decodeunicode.org and unicode.org. What else do you recommend to find interesting unicode symbols, web sites or freeware (for Windows)?
Why can't Windows Explorer show thumbnail previews of DNG's on my Windows 8.1 64bit Pc. I assume is has something to do with not having the DNG codec. However, on Adobe's website it says their DNG codec only works on Windows 7.
This just started happening after I downloaded DWG TruViewer. I am working on LT 2008 using Fusionware on a MacPro. I needed the viewer to convert newer drawings from an architect. Now, when I double click on a drawing in Explorer a separate AutoCad window opens for each drawing I need open. I prefer to just go up to Window>and click on the one I need at that time, especially if I have several to switch between because it is easier to see the file name I want.
SDI is set to 0
Taskbar is set to 0
Relaunched the program
I can't open files using File>Open because the program crashed each time and Autodesk is not issuing anymore fixes for 2008. (Yes, we should upgrade but there is no money budgeted)
Right-click on any .dwg file and go to Properties>General>Change> and select the AutoCad LT launcher as the preferred program
Since I am in Window 7 instead of XP the File Types tab has been removed from Folder Options so I can't fix it that way.
So, why did this change? FYI that stupid TruViewer made lots of unnecessay changes to my AutoCad and Explorer programs that I am still trying to sort out like changing the file icon and hiding the file extensions. Are they trying to make it hard to find files or what?
And next, how can I reset the default so that double clicking on a .dwg in Explorer opens in already open AutoCad window?
AutoCAD LT 2011 has been installed in a Windows XP computer.When logging into this computer using the Windows Administrator Account, all AutoCAD LT 2011 features are available.
But when logging into this same computer using the Windows Limited / Restricted Account, all AutoCAD LT 2011 features are missing.How can we get all the AutoCAD LT 2011 features back using the Windows Limited / Restricted Account?
I have Photoshop CS6 on my Windows 7 laptop, and it works fine. But, for Christmas I received a Toshiba Notebook with Windows 8. I tried the trial of Windows 8 on my other laptop a few months ago, but since it was so new not too many programs worked on it. For instance, my VisTablet didn't have updated drivers for Windows 8. Luckily, they do now, but I'm still having the same problem I did with Photoshop CS6 last time. It starts up, and I can see it in my Task Manager. BUT, it dies. It just shuts itself down. It's there one minute, but then you notice the dropping numbers and then it's gone.
Im trying to have a windowed document always be on top of the main Photoshop window to use it as a guide/reference image and also for extracting colors from it. I know this is possible because I have seen it in a Youtube video.
On a windows 8 system, I cannot load an image to the edit window even though it shows in the layers column. This is a new installation of CS5. Previously I was running CS3 extended with no problems.
I just installed windows 8.1 on a new desktop with Photoshop CS4 with the RAW 5.7 plugin, trying to work on Nikon 300S photo files. I can not open the files and keep getting the following messsage "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". I am running the same setup on a 6 month old laptop with no problems
