Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks

Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks. The name looks like e.g. "??????? ???? cn.nytimes.com"
Chinese character of the site name is displayed ok in the head of the browser window and there is no problem reading chinese web content. I use Firefox Portable 11 /English from portableapps.com in Windows XP.
I googled and got some tips:
1) Set your browser to recognise Chinese language internet sites.
Windows users: Under "Tools - Options" on your browser's menu-bar add Chinese to the languages list.
- I did this.
2) Set your browser's "Character Set" or "Encoding" to UTF-8 (sometimes also called Universal Alphabet or Unicode).
Encoding settings can be changed under the "View" option in your browser's menu-bar.
- It was already set to UTF-8.
3) Windows users: If Chinese text still does not display correctly, East Asian language support may need to be enabled.
- This has been done when I installed Windows.
I still don't get any Chinese fonts in the bookmark names. I can edit the bookmark name with chinese characters and then save the bookmark, it works fine. But why does not Firefox recognize the characters when saving bookmarks? Help is appreciated.

No I didn't change anything deep beneath the hood. My problem didn't apply to the URL, but to the name of the link or bookmark header or whatever you would like to call it. (When hitting Ctrl + D there is a Name field). I only got ???????? instead of chinese characters in the name. Also for e.g. www.cntv.cn ...but maybe all China is not in the whitelist either. ;-) But anyway, this was not the real problem for me.
Apparently I was wrong as after a reboot of the computer it worked. The solution seemed to be to add Chinese to the language list. I don't know why it was not enough to restart Firefox?
Now I only have problems to show chinese characters in the name field of my external link manager... But I guess it is not an issue for Mozilla.

Smartforms - Chinees characters are not displayed properly

Hi,
The chineese characters are not displayed propery when logged in EN in the logon screen, but we are able to see Chineese characters when logged in with ZH - chineese in the logon screen. This is happening for Sales order and Purchase order and for Japan also we fee see the same issue.

Hi,
It is a printer issue. The printer needs to be configured to support the Chinese chanracter set.
Normally when we are able to view the chinese characters properly in the print preview but not properly displayed on the output it is surely a printer problem.
This kind of problem we faced many times.

Leading zeros are not displaying in the excel

Hi Experts,
Leading zeros are not displaying in the excel
Here is the situation:
I have developed one report, which will create the file in Application server with TAB deleimeted. After that I am sending that file via email in the excel format using Email functionality FM.
Normally our material numbers will start with zeros.
But when I check the email excel file , leading zeros are not displaying.
Even I checked the application server (AL11) file, zeros are there.
I thought program FM was wrong and I tried it manually by downloading the file into excel. Eventhough it is suppressing zeros.
Could you please advise, how to display leading zeros to the material number in excel file.
Thanks in advance
Raghu

Application server file showing zeros infront of the material number.
1200# 0012401387# XXXXXXXX
Once file created in app server, I am using one custom FM to send that output in excel format / txt format via email.
when I send txt file via email, I am getting leading zeros. But when I send xls file via email, I am not getting zeros.
I checked custom FUNCTION MODULE . No mistakes in that.
===
Sudhir,
As you said, I passed ( ' ) single quote infront of the material number. When I check the excel file, single quote also displaying like this '0000100.
Application server file showing like below
1200# '0012401387# XXXXXXXX
===
Could you please advise anyone how can we acheive this.
Thanks

Getting this error when saving: Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume

I've just tried to save a document in Pages and got this error
Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume
Never had a problem like this before. I haven't changed disks or formatted disks. Running latest Yosemite 10.10
The only reference I can find to this error on the internet says that it's for applications prior to OS X which I think we can discount.
The only other reference I can find in the support community relates to one person with problems saving attachments in Mail and dates from early 2014.
Can anybody give me a suggestion on what I might need to do?
Thanks

What format are you saving to?
Where are you saving the files to and what is that volume formatted as?
Have you tested with files from other applications, such as TextEdit?

HT201401 My previously made calls are not displaying in the recent call section? How can I restore them+

My previous calls are not displaying in the recent call section. How can I fix this?

There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here.
To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store.
Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
Hope this helps.

Intermittent error saving attachments from mail: "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."

I am seeing this too.

Very spooky. Not always reproducible, but it happened to me while using Office365-Outlook web-based email (saving a PDF).
RE: the suggestion, checking security box "allow apps downloaded from all sites" I would really rather not do that.
On my system it is set to allow "Mac App store and identified developers."

Chinese simple characters are not displayed correctly (Old (TW? HK?) style instead of modern characters)

We a currently trying to translate our software into Chinese and we noted that some of the chinese characters are displayed incorrectly (it seems the Taiwanese/Hongkong version is displayed instead of the modern simple character)
The problem exists in both Firefox 3.6 as well as 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 (we did not try with other versions yet)
The characters are displayed correctly in IE 9.x and Google Chrome 13.0.782.220 m and we are positive it is not a problem with the website itself.
I copied part of a screenshot on: http://stuff.schoellhammer.at/bsp.png
The bottom part is the character from the input scheme (correctly displayed) but once it is entered in firefox (top part), the left character is displayed in incorrectly.

Thank you for your fast reply :)
The site is not online available unfortunately.
The character encoding used by Firefox is UTF-8 (automatically detected) which is correct. I even tried manually switching to other Chinese standards, but none of them brought a satisfieable result.
The site itself does not specify a font (the css only contains "font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Verdana;"), and the site does not provide a custom font either.
I noticed that if i copy and paste the text into word, the characters are wrongly displayed too using the font MS Mincho (so I assume Firefox automatically selects this font to display the characters which would explain why they are displayed incorrectly)
Ah, I now included the font "SimSun" in the css (which is installed on in windows and using this font the characters are displayed correctly in word) - and this solved he problem!
Thanks for your help!!

Synced bookmarks can be searched for and found but many are not displayed on the complete scrollable bookmarks list.

How odd. I've a somewhat complex bookmarks menu hierarchy, perhaps two dozen folders each containing between five and fifty bookmarks as well as a sub-folder or two. All of this is synced and displayed correctly with the bookmarks tab in the app, except for some of the more recent bookmarks that not organized into folders, and are floating inside the bookmarks menu. Of thirty or so, only five appear. Yet, when I search for them within the app they are found, including several bookmarks made today. These are bookmarks contained in the bookmarks menu but not in any particular folders. Clearly they are synced, yet the entire contents of the bookmarks menu are not displayed correctly in the app. Syncing otherwise seems swift. I've less than 600 bookmarks in total. I seek not to search for specific bookmarks but to browse my entire collection, so you can sense my frustration. I'd call this a bug. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Certain special characters do not display correctly in Firefox ( font COLOR="#1f1a17" FACE="Symbol" SIZE="3" ¬ /font ). Is there a fix?

Certain special characters which display correctly in Explorer do not display correctly in Firefox. Example: <font COLOR="#1f1a17" FACE="Symbol" SIZE="3">¬</font>
Is there a fix?

The symbol font usually doesn't work in Firefox, a website needs to use an Unicode replacement or an HTML entity to specify such a character.

Spanish accent characters are not displayed proper in excel file

Hi
I have written a program which displays one report file (.xls file ) on the browser.
This report file is in spanish language and contains few accent characters like
("� � � � � � �"). These characters are not displyed properly in that excel file which is opened in the browser. I have used utf-8 encoding method. I tried with some other encoding methods available. But still this problem continues.
Kindly provide me help as soon as possible.
Thanks and
Regards,
Deval

File is generated through a java bean at runtime and it is not stored pgysically.
If I copy these characters from somewhere to new xls file then it will be displayed properly.
Sample code which is used for setting headers is as below:
     protected void setContentType (
          HttpServletResponse     p_response
     ,     InstanceData          p_instancedata
          p_response.setHeader ("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
          p_response.setHeader ("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
          p_response.setHeader (
               "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename="
          +      p_instancedata.userId
          +      "_"
          +      System.currentTimeMillis ()
          +     ".csv"
          System.out.println("Content generator = ");
          p_response.setHeader("charset","utf-8");
          p_response.setContentType (EXCEL_CONTENT_TYPE);
For generating this xls file, format of data is XML. Means both request and response data will be in XML format.
Hope this information help in suggesting any solution for this problem.

Deval

Portal Forms are not displayed in the new migrated environment.

Hi All,
We have a distributed Portal environment. Application server and Portal Repository running on one system(System1) and one more portal repository and portal components existing in anothor system(System2). Through DAD we connect to System2 and access the componets. Recently we have done a migration.The Database along the Portal Repository in system2 was migrated to a new server. For this we have edited the DAD and made the necessary changes. But after the migration, the Forms residing in migrated portal repository(System2) are not getting dispayed.The rest of the things(Reports, Pages, Links,LOVs etc..) are working fine. The forms are not getting displayed in the pages where it's added. When forms are run from RUN link in Develop Tab it's showing ERROR but not the cause of the error. Will anyone tell what changes I have to do to make the Forms work?
Thanks in Advance,
Tom

Hi DIAdemUser1,
This feature was indeed removed. R&D felt like it caused more confusion than benefit, and I agree. I do apologize to you and others who liked the feature that has now disappeared. When DIAdem 9.0 released the custom properties in the Data Portal showed their data types, but that feature was also removed in favor of simplicity. I often miss that feature, but it's for the greater good.

Groups are not displaying in the user's member of tab

Hi ,
We have a issue,
After mapping any AD group in CMC,the groups and users are displaying in the cmc list. but when we go to the properties of the user and member of option ,the groups are not displaying .
After restarting the CMS every thing works fine.
Every time after adding a new user we should restart the CMS, it is very difficult for us as number of users are working on this .
We are using number of AD groups.
Is there any resolution for this with out restarting the CMS.
Thank you in advance.
Environment -
BO XI3.1,
LDAP authentication.
Thanks & Regards,
Collin.

The LDAP graph is responsible for showing the membership when viewing the user properties, an issue like this would indicate the graph is not auto updating. It normally builds when starting the CMS then every 15 minutes or so for new users (depending on system activity). It shouldn't lose any info (if it does this indicates a caching or communication problem with AD). There is a graphtimeout setting in the registry (search SAP notes) if this were disabled then it may cause similar symptoms.
I'm not aware of any bugs in 3.1 causing this behavior so you may need to open a case with support (authentication team) to help troubleshoot.
Regards,
Tim
