BB 9860 - Missing characters on keyboard in BB Browser

Hi,
I've a little "problem" with some of my BlackBerries.
There's a issue with the keyboard .. .just in the browser. Everywhere else it works fine.
But in the browser there are missing a few characters of the extra symbols.
It's not a huge problem .. but sometimes the user want to type in a [, ], < or >.
At first i thought .. yes ... maybe it's simply not possible to type these characters in the address field.
But! .. I tried it at 4 BlackBerry Torch 9860 ... and 2 devices had the same error .. but the other 2
could write these characters without any problem.
All 4 devices were bought at the same time. I also checked the device informations ... everything is identically.
So my question: Does someone know this problem? Maybe a solution, or something?
Kind regards anyway,
David
(I hope everybody unterstands what I'm writing )

Hi, I have had that problem a while ago...the other way around. I'm from Germany and was missing German characters on my US keyboard. I wrote about how I solved this here: https://myubuntux.wordpress.com/2012/01 … d-in-xorg/
I'm pretty sure this will help you solve your problem...at least introduce you to the tools I used.

Missing characters in generated PDF - Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

PDF documents printed from Framemaker or Microsoft Word are missing characters. Usually the missing characters are after bold text or headings. If the text is underscored, the underscores are printed, but the text is not. When I have these source files printed to PDF by someone using Acrobat Distiller included with FrameMaker 7.2, all of the text is included.
I apreciate any ideas yo may have.

Install the following Microsoft Hotfix.

Missing Characters in Frame Generated PDFs

I had an odd thing happen, that I thought I'd pass on. I was working on
my Mac to generate some statistical output. I printed out the results to
pdf, imported the results in to a Frame 8 document as a referenced
graphic. I then saved as a PDF with all fonts embedded. When viewing the
resulting pdf, two of the statistical charts had missing characters.
They just were not there. The two pdfs had been generated (accidentally)
using the smallest pdf file setting in Distiller 9. The other
problem-free charts had with all the fonts embedded made it through the
workflow perfectly. Regenerating the charts as pdfs with all fonts
embedded cured the problem with the final pdf.
Who would have thought that pdfs with non-embedded fonts would have
caused a problem down the line?
...Mike

Mike,
It's the same issue as with EPS with non-embedded fonts. FM's PDF
importing routine converts the PDF to an EPS for internal use, so
you're getting a PDF > EPS > PDF conversion taking place in the
workflow. Drop a font and something goes awry.

Missing characters

I, like others that I see on the forum, have a problem with missing characters. I am inserting pdfs into another pdf and while the original pdf displays and prints perfectly, when I insert it into the master document it no longer is correct. I tried importing the font and I still have the problem. I did the exact same proceedure with almost ecactly the same documents last month that printed almost perfectly. I just tried reopening the previously acceptable file and now it does not display or print properly. I was concerned about a message that said something about optimizing for web display. I supply these documents in printed and pdf format not for the web.

If you have the fonts used in your documents the following steps should fix the problem:
1) Use the PDF optimizer to unembed the fonts in your documents.
2) Use the Preflight capability to re-embed the fonts in your document. I suggest you embed the entire font and not use font subsets, though embedding the font can cause the document size to grow for larger documents the size the embedded font is a not trivial.

[SOLVED] Fontproblem in Mathematica 10.0.0, missing characters

I have some trouble rendering fonts in Mathematica 10.0.0 (AUR).
There are missing characters, see this example:
http://oi57.tinypic.com/2n80inl.jpg
Mathematica does not print any error message when run from a console (is there a way to make it print errors?).
Here is what Wolfram has to say about Fonts on Linux.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Things I've tried so far:
* reinstalling
* clearing /~/.mathematica/
* installing/(uninstalling) font-mathematica (AUR)
* installing the ubuntu fonts
* messing with font-paths (see below)
Mathematica stores its fonts in /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/, I tried adding the folders to the font-path even tho I'm thinking it should be able to find them anyway..
I added a xorg 10-fonts.conf:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-fonts.conf
# Let X.Org know about the custom font directories
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/OTF"
FontPath "/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/AFM"
FontPath "/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/SVG"
FontPath "/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/TrueType"
EndSection
The font-path as reported by xset q:
xset q
Font Path:
/usr/share/fonts/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi,/usr/share/fonts/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/misc,/usr/share/fonts/TTF,/usr/share/fonts/OTF,/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1,/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/AFM,/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/SVG,/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/TrueType,/usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/TTF/,/usr/share/fonts/OTF/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,built-ins
Now a few got doubled/tripled.. (how to fix this?)
The font-packages I have installed are:
ttf-bitstream-vera
ttf-dejavu
ttf-freefont
ttf-junicode
ttf-liberation
ttf-ms-fonts (AUR)
ttf-symbola
ttf-ubuntu-font-family
jsmath-fonts
terminus-font
Output of fc-list (reorderd for readability):
http://pastebin.com/Z1qazs1s
Upon checking Xorg.0.log I found a few font-related errors:
grep /fonts /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 4.834] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/" does not exist.
[ 4.836] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/".
[ 4.836] (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/").
[ 4.836] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/".
[ 4.836] (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/").
/usr/share/fonts/misc/,
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/,
/usr/share/fonts/Type1/
The folders /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/ and /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/ did not contain any fonts, only a file fonts.alias.
I created the missing OTF-folder and ran this anyway:
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/100dpi
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/75dpi
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/OTF
That silenced the warnings but did nothing re. my problems with Mathematica.
I also ran this:
mkfontdir opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/TrueType
mkfontdir /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1
mkfontdir /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/SVG
mkfontdir /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/AFM
fc-cache -vf
And also this:
xset fp+ /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1
xset fp+ /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/SVG
xset fp+ /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/AFM
xset fp rehash
But it wasn't helpful.
[BTW I don't understand what the difference is between xset and using xorg.conf.d? Is xset only runtime, or where does it store the configuration?]
(I'm probably going about this the wrong way, I'm new to fixing font issues...)

Found a solution for KDE in this thread.
Change the Anti-aliasing-setting:
System Settings > Application Appearance > Fonts > Use anti-aliasing
My was set to System settings, I set it to Enabled and it started working. I tried to change it back to System Settings but now I can't make it not work again.

InDesign CS4 to PDF - Missing characters

I created a brochure (2-sided with lots of copy) using InDesign CS4; I exported it to PDF [Compatibility: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)].
When opened in Acrobat 9 Professional on my computer, the file contents were perfect. The file was sent as an email attachment to prepress. When the printer opened it using Acrobat 7.0 Professional (don't know if it was on PC or Mac; they have both), there were missing characters.
The word "officer" occurred eight times in the document. In two of those occurrences, the characters "ffi" were missing. The remaining 926 words conveyed without a problem.
Any insights will be appreciated.
Frank

Embedding the entire font shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. InDesign embeds all the glyphs that are used. If the font is embedded at all, Acrobat only uses the embedded font.
Furthermore, Acrobat (including Acrobat 7) uses the local fonts option if and only if the font being accessed is not at all embedded and that particular font is on the user's system.
What is very suspect here is that the ffi ligature appears correctly in only 2 out of 8 occurrences in the word officer and that you see no problems on your system using Acrobat 9 Pro.
Here is what I would look for:
(1) Ascertain that the font is really embedded at all. Use CTRL-D and look to see whether the font is either embedded or subset embedded. If neither, that is the source of the problem. You could also run a preflight profile to ascertain that all fonts are properly embedded.
(2) You might want to find out what your printer is
really doing with your file. Is he opening a page or two in Illustrator, something can can cause very strange PDF corruptions? Are there any steps that he is performing before opening it in Acrobat such as processing it in some prehistoric workflow system that has more errors than an early Mets game?
(3) Find out whether your printer at least has Acrobat 7 updated with all the updates issued by Adobe. They were a whole carload of them. I think about 12 such updates in the 24 months that Acrobat 7 was current. You might also want to suggest that at this point, Acrobat 7 is a fairly old version for any printer that wants to stay up to date in terms of PDF print publishing workflow.

Missing characters with menu drop down

I have witnessed today a very strange problem. We have 2 new G5's (less than 6 months old)running 10.4.6. On both machines today I saw problems with missing characters. On one machine I was reinstalling Adobe CS2 Premium and the initial installation screen was actually missing characters in the words under the icons. Also, the menu bar drop downs were missing characters as well. I was able to figure out how to do the install and the rest of the install did not have a problem. After restarting the system, everything seemed to be fine.
As I was working on reinstalling Adobe on the first system, the person on the second system asked me to come over and look at a problem he was having. He too was missing characters on the menu dropdown. Example: Shutdow actually was h tdown and most other drop downs were the same way. On this machine, there wasn't any applications running except Finder and Extensis Suitcase. When I restarted the system the problem was gone. Any ideas as to the cause and cure for this problem? Anyone else experienced this?

No, there isn't. No matter which menu model you use, you'll
always have
to update everything on the server manually. You might want
to explore
the subject of server side include commands.

Missing characters under menus

I have witnessed today a very strange problem. We have 2 new G5's running 10.4.6. On both machines today I saw problems with missing characters.

Yes, but I had an instance yesterday where it did not. I deleted library/caches/com.apple.ats and restarted the system and it seemed to then work. I am still trying to isolate if it is an Apple issue or an Extensis Fusion issue.

Missing characters on Menu

Radomly i will have missing characters on the menu under the Apple.
For example instead of saying "Shut down" it will say "S u D w n"
And when i navigate to files it has similar problems.....so my folders might say "w b_c ea i e" Instad of web_creative"
Anywone else have a problem like this? I have a screen shot that i can post too...

After i reboot it goes away. But comes back randomly. I thought maybe it was a network thing....i am one of 3 macs at our company. However that is not the case, as it happened at home, where i was not connected to the network.
Yes i am upgraded to the 10.4.7

Symbian Anna missing split screen keyboard / no sp...

Dear Nokia,
It's very good news to have symbian anna in my phone, nokia n8. IT's very well build.
However, in my country product code, Malaysia, I dont have split screen keyboard appear in every section that should appear in firmware. I have clean all my phone state in zero apps and i flash my n8 with symbian anna together with 1gb memory card content which means i have fresh , pure symbian anna without any system disturbances.
I update all symbian anna packages in software update, but split screen doesnt appear in most of my country variant.
Returning back to old PR 1.2, what we had was no smart dialler to easy contact calling. Then in symbian anna again, we still missing split screen keyboard which had been promised to be in symbian anna.
I have waited this feature for almost 8 months, but misssing this split screen is kind of dissappointment to us.
I need full explaination how exactly this missing feature happen, I wrote this not for myself, but for whole people who still miss split screen keyboard. I have fresh symbian anna, 0 apps installed, empty memory card, resulting no software conflicts.
THANKS YOU for Symbian Anna and we still waiting for this missing feature.

There is no split screen text input on any firmware that has Chinese. So Malaysian, Singapore, China and Indonesian phones all do not support split screen. Futhermore, the pinyin input does not support portriate qwerty.
If you install a firmware version which does not support Chinese, you get split screen activated. I have tested both Thailand and Indian versions, both working with split screen.
Also, the 2 software updates that come after your have installed Anna will not add portrait qwerty.
Furthermore - this issue has NOTHING to do with swype. Please ignore any message your read which mentions swype.
I'm from Malaysia, didn't get it either.
This is very upsetting! Ten months of waiting, this is what Nokia has given us? This silly reason behind not including split-keyboard in our FW variant is not even a reason at all!
It's an obviously missing feature, and they seem to have not mentioned of this in any of their marketing videos or pages. Should have at least put a disclaimer saying it's not available for us. *Misrepresentation*

Missing characters when opening MIF8 in FM8 (p273)

Hi,
Something our translation vendor just discovered.
Since it may have major ramifications for FM users who do alot of translations, we choose to post the bug report here too. More problems in CJK, Russian and Eastern European languages and less in Western European languages.
Concise problem statement:
Opening edited (translated) MIF files in FrameMaker 8 causes some of the extended characters disappear. Text containing extended characters for different languages are missing characters in FrameMaker, although all characters are present in the MIF file. The missing characters follow no particular pattern, most of the time all characters are there. (If you need more example texts in other languages to try this on, please contact me.)
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create a new FM file and enter "Some text".
2. Save the file as MIF (version eight).
3. Open the saved MIF file in any text Unicode-enabled editor.
4. Replace <String `Some text'> with <String `Ce produit est protégé par des brevets, des brevets de conception, des brevets en instance ou des brevets de conception en instance. Veuillez consulter la liste complète dans le manuel de référence sur CD-ROM.'>
5. Save the edited MIF file.
6. Open the MIF file in FrameMaker
Results
The word référence is missing characters, the text says "rfrence".
Expected results
All characters entered in the MIF file should appear correctly when the MIF file is opened in FrameMaker.
Best regards,
Mats Broberg

Arnis,
You are correct. The text between the tags is, I see now, a mistake on my side when quoting the vendor's report. Here is the bug report as it was posted to Adobe:
=============================================

6. Open the MIF file in FrameMaker
Results: The word référence is missing one é, the text says réfrence. All other characters are there.
Expected results: All characters entered in the MIF file should appear correctly when the MIF file is opened in FrameMaker.
=============================================
I am not in the office at the moment and don't have access to FM8 until tomorrow but can you do a test on your side with your text to see if the problem persists?
Two different vendors using two fundamentally different translation tools and workflows report the same type of errors, so I would be surprised if this is not a true bug.
But I may be wrong.
Best regards,
Mats Broberg

On my finder, I am missing characters. They are gone

So I have noticed since I installed Mavericks I have some missing characters. Its better for me to show you. Look at my screenshots. What is casuing this?

Quit all open App's, close your Finder window, restart your Mac Mini and open a New Finder Window.
In addition, are you using any icon or file enhancement software that might not compatible with 10.9...?

Hi, I'm Michael. I accidentally touched something on my keyboard and the browser column disappeared. what do I do to restore it on Safari page please?

Hi, I'm Michael. I accidentally touched something on my keyboard and the browser column disappeared. what do I do to restore it on Safari page please?

The space to write in the http/www..... just disappeared.
Ok... try this.
From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
Turn that off, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, click View from your Safari menu bar then click Show Toolbar
You may have hit Option + Command + T on your keyboard by accident.

Missing characters in german keyboard layout

I'm using Gnome 3 on a PC with a german keyboard with a physical layout like this one. The german layout is configured in the settings and mostly works as intended, but one key is mapped wrongly. The key next to the left shift key in the second row from below is supposed to have the characters "<" and ">" on it, but instead it produces "-" and "_", duplicating another key. As a result, there is no way to type the "less" and "greater" characters. The built-in keyboard layout viewer shows an US physical one (like this one, notice e.g. the "enter" key which occupies only one row instead of two in the german one and the wider left "shift" key), regardless of whether the german or an english (logical) layout is selected.
So, if there is a way to change the physical layout, how do i do it?

Hi, I have had that problem a while ago...the other way around. I'm from Germany and was missing German characters on my US keyboard. I wrote about how I solved this here: https://myubuntux.wordpress.com/2012/01 … d-in-xorg/

Missing characters keyboard

Hi,
i can't find mathematics operators such as , , exc. Is there a way to write them by keyboard without externals apps?

Most people use external apps for this, there are quite a few devoted to it. But if that is not satisfactory for you, you could try to create keyboard shotcuts for them (settings > general > keyboard I think).
iOS 8 will allow apps that can customize the iOS system keyboard.
