Appearance panel question

I have a shape with a Inner Glow applied to it.
I do the following:
- copy the shape
- paste in front, command + F
- select shape on top
- fill shape on top with white
The Inner Glow is now gone in the Appearance panel.
Is this right?

This is all very strange. I tried this last night around 5 times and it didn't work, and now it does.
I copied the shape, pasted it using command F, and selected the top shape and simply selected a white swatch to be its new fill color.

Appearance Palette question

I am absolutely sure that I am doing something wrong here, but please bear with me – I am new to the Appearance palette
See screen shot attached. (the text "Helvetica")
I have created some live text (ie: it remains editable)
I have given it a fill of black and a heavy (7pt) stroke of blue.
I cannot appear to rearrange the stroke so that it falls beneath the fill
I assumed it would simply be question of dragging it below, as one would with the Layers
However, when I converted the text to outlines (in this case the text "UNIVERS") it works.
And also why are the eyes in the first coloumn grayed out when the text is live.
But not so when text is outlined?
Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?

To enable what you want to do you will need to explore the Add New Stroke and Add New Fill in the Apperance panel. The easiest way to do what you want is to select the text and in the Appearance panel choose Add New Stroke. Click-hold on that row in the Appearance panel and drag in below the line that says Contents. You can also play with removing the fill at the character level entirely and then with the Add New Fill you can use a pattern fill for the letters. Remenber that the stroke will be half hidden by the fill.

Images appear as question marks

I need help! I just uploaded my first dreamweaver website to
yahoo. My images appear as question marks. I've uploaded the images
in file manager along with the index.html. The site looks fine when
I preview in all browsers from dreamweaver. The files are still in
the same place on my hard drive and there are no broken links. The
file names are all lowercase and have no spaces. Please
help!

A link to the site always helps!
Sounds like you may have your images defined something like
<img src='c:\mysite\images\picture.jpg'> (or similar -
i don't do it so I can't remember the exact syntax of a file path)
try
<img src='images/picture.jpg'>
Again it would be easier to tell if you posted a link to your
site.

Some math elements appear as question marks in equations - FM9/Win7Pro

Hello everyone,
I am facing the issue that some math elements appear as question marks in equations; for example, the summation and angle symbols.
The approximately equal or the alpha symbols, for example, appear correctly.
The symbol font is installed.
System specs:
FrameMaker 9 with the latest patches installed.
Windows 7 Professional with the latest updates installed.
The strange thing is that math elements appear correctly using virtual computers on my computer (Windows XP and Windows 7 Ultimate on VMWare).
Same maker.ini file and fonts are present on all (real and virtual) computers.
I have reinstalled FrameMaker already on my real computer (where I have the trouble) and it did not solve the issue.
I have checked (I think) all question mark related topics (when question marks are displayed instead of the correct characters) on this site, but none of them provided the solution to my problem.
I would appreciate your help!
Thanks,
András

Hi Sheila,
Thank you for your response.
I use Adobe PDF as the default printer on both the real and virtual computers and I do not know the SetPrint utility.
I see the question marks appear in the FM files as well as in the printed PDF. It makes me think it is not a printing issue.
c:\windows\fonts is provided as the Font Source in the Embedding box for the Adobe PDF printer both on my real computer and my virtual one.
The SymbolMT font is listed in both cases in the Embedding box, which is (probably) referred to as Symbol Regular when I open the c:\windows\fonts folder using Windows Explorer. No other symbol fonts seem to be installed in this folder. I do not know how to check what other folders FM considers.
By the way, I can insert the summation character, for example, as a simple character using the Equations editor correctly, the problem comes when I try to insert it as a math element.
I have attached an example screenshot.
Thanks,
András

Mail with French / Spanish accented characters appear as Question marks

Hi
I am facing issues in mails that have French / Spanish accented characters in mail subject.Accented characters appear as Question marks (?) when received in the inbox.Mail subject is read from properties file.
Please let me know the following
- Should I have the entries in properties file in Unicode ? For example French accent character � is represented as á
- Should I replace msg.setSubject(subject); to msg.setSubject(subject,"UTF-8");
Please suggest.
Below is code snippet :
 Session session = getSession();
 // create a message
 Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
 // set the from and to address
 InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
 InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
 for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
 addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients);
 msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
 msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
 msg.setSentDate(new Date());
* msg.setSubject(subject);*
 MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart("related");

String subject = "\u00C 9tat de l'inscription en ligne";You need 4 hex digits after \u. You only included 3.
mailSubject = new String(subject.getBytes(), "UTF-8");
message.setSubject(MimeUtility.encodeText(mailSubject,"UTF-8", "B"), "UTF-8");Remove the above two lines. You're trying to make
this much too hard. All you need is:
message.setSubject(subject, "utf-8");
Should I use ISO8859_1 as Charset or UTF-8 ?I think the characters you're included are
representable in iso-8859-1 so you can use
that.
I am using Outlook express as my mail client. Do we have to decode it ?No.

Wrong palette in Appearance panel?

I've setup a document template, specifying the color mdoel as CMYK. To check it is OK, I did a File, New from Template, chose my template and checked the File > Document Color mode. It correctly says CMYK.
Then I drew a rectangle, went to the Appearance panel, and clicked on the little white square next to Fill: . A mini palette opens up, but when I hover the mouse over a color swatch, it pops-up RGB values! However, if I shift-click that little white square next to Fill:, I correctly get shown CMYK sliders. Why is the little palette popping-up RGB values when the document is defined from the start as being in CMYK mode? (Note: I'm sure that hovering over the palette was popping-up CMYK values some time ago....)
In searching for an answer I've seen references to "the default startup profile", but have no idea where this is or how to adjust its settings (if it's relevant anyway).

I believe this is what you're searching for... I stand to be corrected if it's not.

Auto-select field after clicking link inside Appearance panel

Before Illustrator CC 2014, when I clicked on a link inside the appearance window, the corresponding field would auto select. This made for a more efficient workflow. But now for some reason this has disappeared and I miss it! Hey Illustrator team, can you guys add it back in the next release?
How to reproduce:
Click on Opacity in the Appearance panel > "mini" opacity panel opens.
Opacity field should be selected so all the user has to do is click up or down arrows on their keyboard.
Just something small I noticed after I upgraded to CC 2014. Not a big deal honestly, but a small regression.

FontAwesome appears as question marks in FrameMaker 12. I installed the font in the Windows/Fonts folder. Do I need to do something else to get it to work in FM?

I need to update our fonts/templates to Font Awesome. I downloaded and installed the font in the Windows/Fonts folder.
The font appears as question marks (????) in place of the text in FrameMaker 12.
The font appears correctly in other applications, such as Microsoft Word and Outlook.
I tried this with both FontAwesome.otf and fontawesome-webfont.ttf.
Do I need to do something else to get this font to work in FM?
Thanks-
Stephanie

Well, if it's any consolation, it does the ????? thing (complete with bad font metrics for the question marks) in FM9, too.
I'm tempted to blame the font, but it could also be that FM is confused by things that shouldn't be where they are. You'll notice that some of the glyphs aren't given descriptive names in Character Palette.
For example, code points U+0000 through U+001F. Those are supposed to be the C0 Controls in Unicode, and not displayable glyphs.
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf
Ditto for U+0080 through U+009F, which are the C1 Controls:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf
The glyphs at these code points should either be in standard Unicode positions (where the glyph is covered by Unicode, such as that left pointing triangle at U+0011, which might have been the same thing as defined by Unicode at U+25C0 or 23F4) or in some Private Use area.

Appearance Panel blank in CC 2014 latest update

When I open the appearance panel, with an object selected which has fills, strokes and a drop shadow, the appearance panel is blank. The panel appears, the fly-out menu is functional, but nothing else is there, just gray. Screenshot below:
Is this a bug, or something I can fix? I'd like to edit my drop shadow, but the only way I can do that is to clear the appearance and start all over again.

jmunn,
Have you upgraded to Yosemite recently, and if so have you reinstalled CC2014 (possibly in the full three step way) after that?
Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

If not the latter, it may be worth trying.

Stroke not showing up in Appearance panel?

I have a word I typed out and applied a stroke to it, but the stroke doesnt show up in the appearance panel. Whats up with that? I'm trying to apply 2 strokes but the one doesnt even show up in the appearance panel.
CS2
Any thoughts?

Attributes (fill/stroke) and effects (drop shadow or whatever) can be applied at the layer level, the object level, the group level or in the case of type, the character level. Effects can also be applied one deeper, on the stroke or the fill itself.
If you're not seeing the attributes that are on your object (in this case the stroke) I'll betcha it's applied to some other level than what you're looking at.
You can drill down within the appearance panel by double-clicking on "characters" or "contents" (depending on what you're working on) You can back out, by double-clicking on the things at the top of your appearance panel, which will change, based on where you are in the stack.
Three views of the same group:
At the group layer, my 3-d effect.
At the type layer, my fill and strokes.
And in this case, at the character level, nothin'.
In this case, it's set up to allow a 3-d effect to play on multiple sizes of type with multiple stroke thicknesses.
[edit - I fully agree, jacob. The appearance panel is second only to the pen tool. ;-) ]

Adding a new stroke through the Appearance Panel?

Are there any reasons to add a new stoke in the Appearance Panel VS. just doing it in the Control Panel or in the Toolbox?

Here is a visual showing yu how three strokes are being applied to one Type Object.
BTW you could thank Scott for explaining this for you.

Appearance Panel gone? – Illustrator CC

After updating to Yosemite, my Appearance Panel in Illustrator is completely blank.
Any idea how I can reset it? I've tried changing workspace and reseting it that way, but nothing..
Help appreciated as I use Appearance frequently..
Thanks!
Tommy

I fully agree with him! This thread was started in Nov. 2014 and in May 2015 we're still having issues with exactly the same problem!
rbhunwal: on Nov. 5th you said that Adobe is working on it. Please give us a specific answer as to when we can expect a patch or update which repairs a previously working feature. We are monthly paying customers. I'm not demanding anything, i just wish for Adobe to repair those - essential - features that were working before.
Btw. your solution does work - until i close AI and at the next start, the same issue is back again. We are talking about Illustrator, for gods sake! This is highly unprofessional - am i supposed to constantly rename Folders that are 'hidden' for a reason just to have basic functionality?! Annoyed doesn't even start to describe how i feel about AI/Adobe with this regard.

CS4 appearance panel: move the color of a stroke

Let's see if I can explain this. I want to create a map.
I have a layer for the streets and several sublayers in it that contain paths of different stroke widths.
In Illustrator CS3 if I wanted to give all those paths with their different stroke widths a common outline I could simply target select the streets main layer and with the appearance panel apply a stroke to it. Then apply the Outline-stroke-effect, apply a pathfinder-add-effect and move the stroke's color below both effects.
http://vektorgarten.de/img/tut/umrandung-cs3.png
How do I achieve this in CS4? It looks like I cannot move the stroke's color below the Outline-stroke-effect.
http://vektorgarten.de/img/tut/umrandung-cs4.png
If I open my old CS3-file in CS4, it still seems to work the way it was intended, but how do I create this in CS4?
Kind regards,
Monika

You can do what you want to do in CS 4 but what you have to do is after you group the objects and give the group the stroke then flatten the transparency and then give it the Effect>Pathfinder>Add.
 
 Like such:

<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1S2R8QifmjQVNIds9WHt4ZnrZyhMEJ_thumb.png" border="0" />
 
 I know but that is not how you do it in CS3 but it is at least one way you do it in CS 4 and I agree there should be another command that combines these steps as an Effect Outline Group would be a good way to go. Would be a very handy tool.
