Block-A characters displaying

Not that Apple cares, but Safari 7.1 on Mavericks continues to display block-A characters in place of the actual font. Other browsers work fine. I see Yosemite has this problem also.
No one has figured out a permanent fix for this issue. So, several times a day I have to dump my Suitcase font cache, restart my computer just so I can read a webpage. Of course this isn't a problem when you're in the middle of placing a client order and the order page is filled with gibberish. Just dump everything a start over hoping that the browser will work properly - good luck.
I've read and edited the files for Sandbox to point to all the locations for fonts but this doesn't work. I don't want to use Firefox but if I have to so be it. Any help is appreciated.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

Not all chinese characters display correctly with non-embedded text

Hi all,
I've updated to the last beta 2 of Flash Player 10.1 (10,1,51,66) and compiled this simple Flex application to illustrate the fact that not all chinese characters can be displayed correctly with non-embedded text (device font).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
               minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
               creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN'];"
               layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝">
    </s:Label>
    <mx:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>
</s:Application>
Notice that characters from the Unicode range 0x4F1E .. 0x4А2D are not displayed within <s:Label> component that uses Flash Text Engine (FTE) by default to display the text, but at the same time those characters display just fine within older <mx:Label> component that relies on flash.text.TextField instance to render the text.

    OK, did not know that "Arial Unicode MS" font is only distributed with Microsoft Office, was looking into relying on this font in case if "simsun.ttc" font is not available at the user's system, by using the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
               minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
               creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN']"
               layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">
    <fx:Style>
        @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
        @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
        s|Label {
            fontFamily: "Arial Unicode MS, SimSun, Arial";
    </fx:Style>
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Label id="sparkLabel" text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>
</s:Application>
Tough decision ahead, but accordingly to the survey at codestyle.org (2000 participants from 2007 year and onwards), Arial Unicode MS is present at 62.53%% system surveyed.
ps
   My current install of Windows XP already includes the install of Microsoft Office 2007 and I've also enabled/disabled the support of East Asian languages, thus the content of my "fonts" folder differs now significantly from "clean" Windows XP install version.
Nevertheless I found the page with comprehensive lists of standard fonts installed with different releases of Windows that looks viable here: http://www.kayskreations.net/fonts/fonttb.html

This is iweb development where after publishing, things look different in IE than other browsers. U r correct that this is due to IE software but is iWeb related. After all, one uses iweb not to just publish in Safari but for all browsers.
Which means that you are only considering half of the problem, but that's your choice.
I'm out.

Help with REGEX to block invalid characters

I have a regex that is used to block unusual characters from being entered into a user name, so they can put pipes etc in there, I just want 0-9 and a-z (upper or lowercase), but I just noticed that it's not working. I am not up to speed on regex, I took this from somewhere else
here is the expression:
<cfif len(trim(ReReplaceNocase(form_username, '^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]*', '', 'ALL'))) gt 0>
It is failing when I enter 2kljlkll3456 as the username
Anybody have any idea why it's not working?
After posing this I found out that the issue is that it does not allo me to have a username that starts with a number, only a letter, anybody have any idea how to fix that?
Thanks
Mark

Hey Dan,
I found a link that explained how the regex is actually formed which helped!
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/336210/regular-expression-for-alphanumeric-and-undersco res
Now I have managed to get a basic understanding of how they are formed the fix was easy
I had:
<cfif len(trim(ReReplaceNocase(form_username, '^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]*', '', 'ALL'))) gt 0>
But should have had
<cfif len(trim(ReReplaceNocase(form_username, '^[A-Za-z0-9_]*', '', 'ALL'))) gt 0>
Simply removing [A-Za-z] from the start fixed it. I get it now ... so the first section defined the first character which was restricted to A-Za-z only.
I'll mark this as answered
Thanks
Mark

Asian characters displaying in my english language PDF.

This morning I opened a PDF and got a message that I needed to install a language pack. I installed the asian language pack as requested and when I opened my PDF there were asian characters displaying in my english language PDF. How do I fix this issue?

Very difficult to say without seeing the actual PDF. If it is not confidential, can you share it (or a similar sample PDF) with the forum: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

Its important that all characters display correctly in my pdf.

When I convert a file to pdf, I always get this error: Cannot extract the embedded font'HWNDJR 83mkhgdligynvro' some characters may not display correctly. What is wrong? Its important that all characters display correctly in my pdf ebook. Please advise.
Thank you, Sherrie Vitello

Ok, not sure what you mean exactly. I'm new to all of this. What I do is I create an ebook, I convert to pdf using Primo pdf converter, the I upload it to the adobe reader so I can distribute it to my prospects online or print it out, if they want, and send it to them. But when I open the ebook while in adobe reader to examine it, I receive that error message. ?? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Strange characters displaying in place of file upload

Has this happened to anyone before?
I've built a form that includes a file upload option, but where the field box and button should be there are funny characters displaying (see screenshot) - Clicking on the characters behaves as it should and an upload dialog pops up. However, in the WYSIWYG editor in BC the box displays as it should.

Hi SteveDolanACE,
I suspect this could be related to your sites CSS. Could you please provide us with the URL where this is occurring? Or alternatively, submit a support ticket via your Admin Console > Help & Support and the support team will investigate further.

Hi Chirs,
I am facing the same problem but i am using c sharp and this is a windows application.
I tried to change the CodePage attribute by simply setting connection.codepage = "8040";
But i get an exception.
attempted to read or write protected memory.
I cant seem to change this. What should i do. Also do we have to set this at the point of connecting to the Sap system or when i'm calling the RFC. I tried both instances but none worked. Could you please help me out.
i am using VS 2008.
Thanks,

Overlapping characters displayed in spool for dunning in thai language

Hi Experts,
Our requirement is to create a dunning form for Thailand(displayed in thai language).
We have created a thai oriented printer(Thl1).We have also created a smart style and the font is helvetica(in order to display thai characters).
We have a problem when the spool is generated.The characters in the spool(both english and thai) appear overlapped.
What can be the reason for this?
My hunch is that since we are using helvetica font the spool is not generated properly.(ie spool cannot take helvetica font)
Since dunning is a sap standard program we cannot directly convert to otf format instead of generating a spool.
This problem has been bugging us for a long time.
Can any of the sap mates please suggest a solution for this?

This is a duplicate of

Lion replaces text with 'block A' characters in safari

about 1/4 of the sites i vist now (including my own--in safari) have a 'block A' character where there is html text.
does anyone know how to fix this?
thanks.

There are two articles on MacFixit about this.
Fonts are implicated in both.
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20087102-263/webkit-sandboxing-conflict-cau ses-safari-block-a-font-problem/
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20085570-263/safari-in-os-x-lion-replacing- text-with-block-a-characters/
Clearing caches and booting to Safe Mode has helped the majority of people experiencing this problem; however, for a few people the problem returns after a while, indicating that either Safari itself or the system's font configuration may be actively corrupting the font cache.
.... (example)
- If this happens, then unfortunately the approach would be to systematically disable system fonts using Font Book until the problem goes away, and then remove the specific fonts that are contributing to the problem.

HTML characters display incorrectly in Firefox

Special HTML characters like ∠ and ← and ∝ (etc.) do not display as they should in Firefox on my Mac.
I messed with Font Book earlier today, and though I don't think I made any fatal changes, I think that might have caused this problem (though certain symbols like ♥ had never shown up correctly).
However, all of these characters display perfectly in Safari. See:
http://www.plisher.org/safari.jpg
http://www.plisher.org/firefox.jpg
How might I fix this?

Well, I just launched Firefox and opened this page in it. The angle, arrow and whatevertheotherthing is all displayed correctly, the heart however showed up in Firefox as a perpendicular line.
I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.4, with the default font set to Geneva.

Go_item doesnot work in a control block having all display items

Hi
go_item bulitin doesnot work for a block which doesnot have any enabled items(or say display items only) throwing error " No items on the navigation block".
The requirement is to have all items in that block should be display items only.
Is there any workaround?
Thanks in advance.

Create a navigable item in the block where cursor focus can be placed. I usually make it a visible text item with very narrow width -- just enough so the user can see the cursor blinking.
Or else make one of your display items a text item, but with update allowed set to No.
...but why are you using Go_Item if the item is not an updateable field?
