WE + CE cause problem with accented characters

While creating a CFF font which contains the WE as well as the CE character set, it causes problems with most of Adobe programs (Photoshop 7, Illustrator 10, Photoshop Elements 2.0) under Mac OS X. Problem: the accented characters get replaced by Helvetica (Photoshop) or Myriad (Illustrator). Only InDesign treats it right.
I tested under Mac OS X 10.2 as well as 10.3; no difference. I tested on 'old machines', but fresh machines as well (machines which didn't have the fonts installed before); no difference. All the same problem.
Deleting the CE characters solves the problem, but yeah, I want to create a CFF font which contains both character sets.
Generating the font in FontLab or FDK doesn't make any difference.
So, what's the solution? Sounds like a mystery.

Two comments:
OpenType/CFF fonts should work to some degree on versions of Mac OS from 8.x on. "Some degree" means that pre-Mac OSX, you need ATM for them to work, and you only get the Roman char set. On Mac OSX, Unicode savvy apps will give you access to the entire charset, but at the moment only Adobe apps support any OpenType features.
About your problem with CE charset: this is a known problem, and is still a mystery. Adam Twardoch has reported the same problem and has supplied some test fonts. I have spent over a day looking over the fonts, and looking into old code, and can't find any problem in the font data. Investigating further is likely to be a several day effort, and will happen, but not soon.

  • Converting XML to Spreadsheet - Problem with Accented Characters

    I have a program that uses an external program to gathers user account information from Active Directory. The external program is .Net, and I execute it from my Java app, which then collects the XML output and saves it in a String variable. So far so good.
    Next it parses the XML and retrieves the values for each field for each user 'record' and stores these values in a String member inside of a class I created called "User".
    At the end of the process, the User class data is written to a file in XML format. Still, so far so good. However, using a text editor, any user names that have accented characters in them have an extra space character after the accented character. E.g. accented "e" becomes "e ". At least that is how it appears in the Textpad editor app that I use.
    Next I have a class called "XMLToExcel", that creates a spreadsheet using Apache's POI library, reads in the XML records , and writes the values for each field into a cell. Here the name with an accented character gives the message "[Fatal Error] <file name>:2617:23: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence."
    I'm not sure what I can to do fix this, or even where to fix it. I wouldn't mind losing the accented characted and replacing it with an un-accented one.
    Any ideas? I can provide code snippets if that would help.
    -John Gooch

    The text looks the same in Notepad and Textpad. However, I manually added the "encoding" tag with the value of "ISO-8859-1", and the converter no longer complains about invalid characters.
    I added the encoding tag to my application's output file, so the converter should not complain about it on the next run. Unfortunately, the names have been fixed in Active Directory ( the special character was there by mistake ), so I cannot do a live test to be sure that it is fix.
    Thanks for the help, Duke points incoming!

  • Problems with Accented Characters after migrating to UTF8

    Hi,
    I am puzzled about the following problem.
    We have recently changed the database character set from US7ASCII to UTF8 for the internationalization
    purpose. We ran the Character set scanner utility and it did report that some data may pose problems.
    We followed the the below mentioned process to convert into UTF8 -
    1) alter database character set utf8
    2) alter database national character set utf8.
    Now we find some problem while working with the old data in our application which is java based.
    We are getting the following error "java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv".
    We further analyzed our data and found some interesting things :
    e.g.
    DB - UTF8.
    NL_LANG also set to UTF8.
    Select name from t1 where name like 'Gen%';
    NAME
    Genhve
    But when we find out the length of the same data it show like this
    NAME          LENGTH(NAME)          VSIZE(NAME)
    Genhve 4 6
    My question is why is it showing length as 4 only and when we try to use a substr function
    its extracting like the following :-
    select name,substr(name,4,1) from t1 where name like 'Gen%';
    NAME               SUB
    Genhve          hve
    We have execute the above queries on US7ASCII DB and it is working fine, length it shows 6
    and using SUBSTR it extracts just 'h' as well.
    I also used dump function on the UTF8 Db for the above query,,this is the result :-
    select name,length(name),vsize(name),dump(name) from t1 where name like 'Gen%';
    NAME          LENGTH(NAME)          VSIZE(NAME)               DUMP(NAME)
    Genhve 4 6               Typ=1 Len=6: 71,101,110,232,118,101
    I checked a lot with the data and it seems 'h' (accented e) is posing the problem.
    I want to know where is the problem and how to overcome this.
    Regards
    Siba

    We ran the Character set scanner utility and it did report that some data may pose problems. Did you check out the documentation with the scanner ? It explains why and how to deal with problem data.
    The problems are :-
    1. You had invalid data inside your original US7ASCII database . h is not a valid 7 bit ASCII character. All the invalid US7ASCII characters, ( ie. all those that will be lost after doing ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET ) would have been flagged by the scanner.
    2. All non 7 bit ASCII characters need to be converted to their UTF8 counterpart values, and typically these characters will have size expansions too. for example ,from 1 byte to 2 bytes.
    3. ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET UTF8 changes the character set tag in the database header only. No data conversions are performed to your existing data .

  • Problem with base64 encoding an xml file with accented characters

  • How to load CSV with accented characters?

    Hi,
    I have a database instance with NLS_CHARACTERSET = 'AL32UTF'. I upload a csv file with APEX into WW_FLOW_FILES table and then parse it with dbms_lob.instr. The problem that I am facing is that if I save the CSV file in UTF8, then this works fine, if I save it in any other encoding then it's displaying 'funny' characters when I try to parse it and display the parsing result and the source data contains some accented characters, like, á, é, ő etc,
    I am not sure if this is an APEX issue or I rather be turning to NLS forum. TIA.

  • I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
    I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
    If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
    Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.

    Firefox (version 15.0.1) is telling me I need to install an update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4 in order to view pdf files in my browser. I use Acrobat Pro 9. The update is actually Adobe Reader 10, and I am wondering if I install this, will it cause problems with my version of Acrobat Pro?
    Because I am not sure if this is so, I have temporarily disabled the plug-in and now pdf files download automatically rather than display in my browser. I would prefer they open in my browser but do not want to upgrade to Acrobat X.
    My OS is Windows Vista. I did not include the "troubleshooting information" file because I'm not sure what specific info is being requested.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi WMdotcom
    did you try to view pdf with your acrobat pro 9 ?

    The only way to move files or folders/subfolders without causing problems, that is not creating 'missing files' is to do this from within the Organizer, not the OS (Win/Mac).
    You can create folders and move pictures from the Organizer.
    Note that if you are moving the files of several subfolders into a single one, you run the risk of wanting to move files with the same filename into the same folder ; your OS won't allow that. So the Organizer will rename pictures if needed.
    If you want to do such a big reorganizing task, absolutely do a full backup before. There is no advantage  for such a reorganizing from an Organizer point of view, but if you need it for some reason, it has to be done from within the organizer.

  • Problems with special characters like "u00F6" "u00E4" "u00FC"

    Hi,
    we currently face some major problems with special characters like "ö" "ä" "ü". First I thought it is a SP02 specific problem but it still doesn't work with SP03.
    When I start an import the import manager shows correct converted value. "ö"s "ä"s "ü"s are displayed correctly. But after I've done the import I look into the Data manager and I see instead of these characters charcaters like "&#776;". (note: the character should show a little square box - but the forum cannot desplay it)
    How can I solve this problem?
    Regards
    Nico

    Hi Nico
      Just try it out the following steps, hope it solves ur issue.
    <b>To set one or more values back to their original values:</b>
    1. In the Import Manager Source Values grid, select the values that you want to set back to their original values.
    2. Right-click on one of the values and choose Set to Original Value from the context menu, or choose Values > Apply Value Conversion Filter > Set to Original Value from the main menu.
    3. MDME sets each value back to its original value, which appears in black in the Source Values grid.
    <b>NOTE : You can use the Set to Original Value filter only at the value-level and not at the field level.</b>
    thanks

  • Problems with special characters in InputStream or XPath

    Hello everyone,
    I am having problems with special characters such as ", ', - and so on, everything becomes ? (questionmark). (Not with special nordic characthers (å,æ,ø) though.)
    The encoding of the XML is UTF-8, and the server that holds the webservice is setting encoding to UTF-8 also, so no conflict there.
    What I have done is something like this:
    {code}
    String url = "http://www.formula1.com/rss/news/latest.rss"; // This is not the feed I use, it is a custom XML document
    InputSource is = new InputSource(url);
    DocumentBuilderFactory fct = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder builder = fct.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document doc = builder.parse(is);
    Element rootElement = doc.getDocumentElement();
    XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
    XPath xPath = factory.newXPath();
    out.print(xPath.evaluate("/rss/channel/title", rootElement)); // The xml is not a RSS feed, this is just an example.
    {code}
    Please let me know what I am doing wrong, or give me a hint of how to solve this in another way.
    Best regards,
    G.Hansen

    Hello, thanks for you reply. I had to rewrite your code a little, and I think that your code would not really compile, if you tried yourself :-)
    I ended up with something like this:
    our environment is running in 1.4 mode, so I could not use the for-each loop :-(
    public String printEntities(String s) {
         char[] sArray = s.toCharArray();
         StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
           for (int i = 0; i < sArray.length; i++) {
             if (sArray[i] > 256)
                  sb.append("&#x" + Integer.toHexString(sArray) + ";");
         } else
              sb.append(sArray[i]);
         return sb.toString();

  • How to send Oracle rowid to servlet? | Problem with national characters.

    There is same possibility how to send rowid to servlet?
    I have now definition like this:
    <af:image source="/imageservlet?Par1=#{bindings.Col1.inputValue}"/>
    But If column contents national characters, servlet methods obtained changed these characters.
    My idea is to use not primary key for row, but use oracle rowid. It is simply possible?
    Use something like this:
    <af:image source="/imageservlet?Rowid=#{bindings.Rowid}"/
    Or Do you have ideas how to solve problem with national characters ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Although your workaround works.
    I think this is a simple encoding problem.
    I simply need to make sure all parameters and pages are encoded with a char set which contains the national characters you mentioned.
    This is a bit dependent on the exact technology your using, but most can be done via the web.xml:
      <jsp-config>
          <jsp-property-group>
              <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
              <page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
          </jsp-property-group>
      </jsp-config>     This forces all JSP pages to be encoded in UTF-8
    Adding the following parameter sometimes helps as well, although I think this one is a bit dated:
    You said your using a servlet so your servlet needs a similar block for its pattern
      <context-param>
        <param-name>PARAMETER_ENCODING</param-name>
        <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
      </context-param>If you want to be 100% sure the encoding is set right make sure thepages contain:
    <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"%>Or depending on your view technology the syntax can be a bit different

  • Problem with national characters on windows client

    Hello there,
    I'am having problem with national characters on windows client.
    All national data stored in NVARCHAR2 colums, applications (.net) works fine,
    but in sqlplus:
    select city from test_table;
    - everything ok, sqlplus shows national characters
    select dump(N'<national symbols>') from dual
    - returns
    Typ=96 Len=12: 0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191
    select * from test_table where city = N'<national symbols> '
    - always returns nothing
    As i understand the problem in
    sql query text (and national literals) convertion
    to servers "WE8ISO8859P1" encoding, Is it possible
    to solve the issue?
    Thanks in advance
    PS.
    Console in right mode (chcp=1251)
    sqlplus shows russian messages well
    Server (oracle 9 on solaris):
    select * from nls_database_parameters

    Client (windows server 2003, oracle client 10):
    NLS_LANG = RUSSIAN_CIS.CL8MSWIN1251

    N'<national symbols>', being part of an SQL statement, will be converted to the database character set (WE8ISO8859P1) before being parsed. Only if the client and the database are both 10.2 or higher, the client can encode the literal appropriately so that it survives this conversion.
    In earlier versions, you can do the encoding yourself. Instead of the N'<national symbols>' literal use the UNISTR function: UNISTR('\xxxx\yyyy\zzzz'), where U+xxxx, U+yyyy, U+zzzz are Unicode code points of your national characters.

  • Problem with accent in Title

    Hi there,
    I'am using Adobe Captivate 6 on a mac, in French.
    On each slide I have a Title (area defined in my main slide).
    In the Title area, I cannot type accent such ü ö, but é à are working. In other text areas, is it working.
    What could I do ? Is it a bug ?
    Many thanks for your Help

    Yes I tried with antother fonts such as Arial Times New Roman, it is the same.
    I experience this also with other placeholders not only title ones, BUT... I found a partial issue.
    When I am typing the wanting caracter such as "ü" in the search filed, and then Copy/Paste in my Title Placeholder it works.
    I realy think is it a bug.
    Regards

    Cannot help you, just hope someone of the staff pops in. It seems a bit strange however that this issue is only with the Title placeholders... the Spanish users had similar issues all the time. Did you try to change the font?

    I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac.  Will this cause problems with my Mac?

    Thanks.  These drivers are for the audio, etc. for a dell laptop I purchased used.  ( Needed something cheap for a training video that would only run on Windows.  Tried Emedia player but picture was too fuzzy.)  Dell support said I should contact Apple support for instructions on how to get the drivers onto the jumpdrive.  Any tips on doing that?
