Character Pallet Error

Attempted to open character pallet via Font Book. Couldn't get it to work - Character Pallet just stayed a blank window.
Upon restart, Character Pallet window flashes on/off with every system action (printing, clicking from app to app).
I followed repair instructions given in prior post (delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist, then restart). Attemped this twice, with no luck.
Any other suggestions????

I would try these things to fix the Character Palette problem:
1) Delete com.apple.FontBook.plist and com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist from ~/Library/Preferences.
2) Check System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items for any programs that might invoke the Character Palette. If there are any there, remove them temporarily.
3) Reboot your Mac.
Also, have you recently installed new fonts?

  • The Character Pallett repeatedly opens on its own and crashes

    Starting this morning I am being driven crazy by the Character Pallett launching unexpectedly on its own and then crashing almost immediately. Then it attempts to launch again, flashes briefly on screen, and crashes again. My crash log shows the same repeated process.[Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: (index >= 0) && (index < [_itemArray count])']
    It's pretty impossible to get anything done. I tried reinstalling OSX combo 1.6.8, but the installer would not see my startup drive as being eligable; I then reinstalled Snow Leopard 10.6 and attempted to update to 10.6.8 that way. But this attempt lead to an error that cancled the install. So now I am running 10,6, but with many apps that require 10.6.8. And the Character Pallett keeps poping up and then crashing even with 10.6. I'm beginning to think it may be a hardware problem, either ram or logic board issue; but I lack the diagnostic skills to figure it out.
    I thought of trying to launch the Character Pallett on purpose, but when I open the System Preferences and click the box that would place the Keybaord icon in the menu bar (which is the only way I know  to get to the Character Pallett) the icon doesn't appear. The check mark doesn't even stick.
    And help would be greatly appreciated.

    Where I am so far:
    1. First I should correct the term I was using. It's tje "Character Viewer" and not the Character Pallett. To access the viewer one normally opens System Prefs>Keyboard and clicks on the box saying Show Keyboard and Character Viewer in Menu Bar. Once in the menu bar, one can access the viewer via a pop down menue item. But I did not have the Keyboard in the menu bar and the viedwer was poping open on its own. I couldn't even get the keyboard menu to appear in the menu.
    2. I took the advice received so far and booted into Safe Mode, trashed the plist item. The viewer popped open on its own still, but did not immediately crash. I could click on the red window controller and close the window. In safe mode I could get the keyboard menu to appear and could select the Character Viewer.
    3. I removed off all my log in items—the only odd thing I noticed was the duplication of iTunes helper. At this point I still could not upgrade from 10.6 to 10.6.8 via the combo updater. So I rebooted normally, but with no log in items. The System Pref for showing the keyboard menu item still did not work. Nor could I upgrade to 10.6.8 with the combo updater. I also tried update just to 10.6.1, but got the same Installer error. But the Character Viewer popup/crash is gone, but so to is access to all the iLife apps that require 10.6.8. iTunes, for example cannot see my iPhone or iPad when they are plugged in via usb.
    So I guess I should thank yuou guys for your help andnow post a new question about not being able to upgrade Snow Leopard. Perhaps there's already been a similar problem posted.

  • Font not displaying/loading correctly in Character Pallet

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and Creative Suite CS5, Adobe Illustrator CS 15.1.0. I'm using Suitcase Fusion 4 ver. 15.0.5 (latest version).
    I'm having a problem with 2 of my fonts loading correctly in illustrator's Character pallet. They display like a missing fonts in the character pallet as shown in my screen shot with "less than" characters around them: < Carta >, , < ITC Zapf Dingbats >
    These fonts and files do not give me warnings for missing fonts. The files print and rip correctly. The font displays correctly in illustrator when I use them in a layout (as shown on pic). They also display correctly and are fine in all other applications: Quark, InDesign, Photoshop etc. My fonts are setup correctly, pared down system fonts, other user folders emtpy etc. I have font nuked with Suitcase, Font Nuke and did a safe start up to clear font caches. several times. I've also removed these fonts from suitcase and loaded them in my system folder to see if that fixed it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. These fonts are used 1,000's of pages/files so replacing them with another verion isn't really an option.

    They are probably a very old Type 1 font. Try checking the dates on the font files. Your best bet would be to get the OpenType versions of those fonts and install them.

  • Character conversion error

    Hi all,
    We are getting the following error when trying to parse an xml string resource - Character conversion error: "Illegal ASCII character, 0xc2" (line number may
    be too low)-. We have not been able to get around this. We have tried creating the InputSource two different ways:
    reader = new StringReader(stringSource);
    src = new InputSource( reader );
    and
    src = new InputSource(new InputStreamReader(new ByteArrayInputStream(stringSource.getBytes())));
    The problem does appear to go away if we treat the DTD we are validating against as a file. If we set it has a uri, we get the above problem.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Greg

    Hi,
    2 possible solutions:
    1) try using the xerces parser instead of sun's parser
    2) look at the posting at the following url and see wether the posted solution solves your problem: http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=34&thread=67558

  • "character conversion error" while parsing xml files

    Hello,
    I'm trying to parse MusicXML (Recordare) files, but I'm getting an exception.
    I'm using the SAX parser (javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser).
    Here is the code I use to instantiate it:
    final javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory saxParserFactory = javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
    final javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser saxParser = saxParserFactory.newSAXParser();
    final org.xml.sax.XMLReader parser = saxParser.getXMLReader();
    I'm using my own handler, but I get the same exception even if I use org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler.
    The error I get is:
    Character conversion error: "Illegal ASCII character, 0xc2" (line number may be too low).
    The first few lines of my xml files look like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <!DOCTYPE score-partwise
    PUBLIC "-//Recordare//DTD MusicXML 0.6 Partwise//EN"
    "http://www.musicxml.org/dtds/partwise.dtd">
    <score-partwise>
    [...etc...]
    If I delete the <!DOCTYPE ...> line, then I don't get the exception anymore. But the MusicXML files I get (from some other program) always contain this line, and it would be quite some work to delete them from every file manually.
    So does anyone know if there is a way to avoid deleting that line in every file, while still being able to parse the xml files without exceptions?
    Or maybe does anyone know what the exact cause of the exception is? (because I don't know what exactly causes it)
    Thank you in advance.
    Greetz,
    Jipo

    So does anyone know if there is a way to avoid
    deleting that line in every file, while still being
    able to parse the xml files without exceptions?ok this is side-stepping the real problem but I've used this code to filterout DTD references for other reasons   public static InputStream filterOutDTDRef(InputStream in) throws IOException {
          BufferedReader iniReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
          StringBuffer newXML = new StringBuffer();
          for(String line = iniReader.readLine(); line!=null; line = iniReader.readLine())
             newXML.append(line+"\n");
          in.close();
          int s = newXML.indexOf("<!DOCTYPE ");
          if(s!=-1)
             newXML.replace(s,newXML.indexOf(">",s)+1,"");
          return new ByteArrayInputStream(newXML.toString().getBytes());
       }and it actually speeds up the parsing phase too (since the DTD ref.s were on the web and the XML standard mandates that there is a fetch for each xml file parsed..)
    you can feed the above into the InputSource constructor that takes an InputStream argument.
    Now for the real problem... 0xc2 is "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX" according to a unicode chart - which is not an ASCII character (as the error message correctly reports). I'm not sure why the file is being parsed as ASCII though? You could try parsing in a FileReader to the inputsource and hope it picks up the default character encoding of your system, and that that character encoding matches the file. Or you could try passing in a FileReader constructed with a explicit character encoding (eg "UTF8") and see if that does the trick?

  • How to use the special character pallet in Maverics with Illustrator

    How to use the special character pallet in Mavericks with Illustrator - I follow the help instructions, but the pasted in object looks like a rectangle with an X, I have done this before, in earlier versions of AI, but cannot make it work in CS6.
    In fact, I can open an old AI file (CS4), copy the character (a graphic symbol, also taken from the special character set), paste it in, and it works, but can't do this with a new one, from the drop down, Show Character Viewer, in the Mavericks menu bar.

    The box with an X indicates the font you are using does not have the glyph you are trying to paste. Try a different font.

  • SAXParseException: character conversion error: Illegal character 0x9A...

    This is my problem:
    I use JDom to parse remote XML document with DTD linked to it. But I get that error. Request is:
    SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
    Document doc = builder.build(new URL(url));
    This works fine when I use these XML and DTD docs locally, which means that I give xml file name as a parameter from console. Then everything goes well. But when I move my program to server and try to run it there, SAXParseException is thrown. Why???
    Error is:
    error on line 1 of document "http://server.net/doc.dtd" Character conversion error: Illegal ASCII character 0x9A (line number may be too low)
    What this means? And why this just happens when I run program in server? Help, please

    public class PA83 //Simple calc
        public void calculator()
            try
                InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
                System.out.println("Enter number 1");
                double a = ((double) br.readLine());
                System.out.println("Enter number 2");
                double b = ((double) br.readLine());
                System.out.println("1.Add\n2.Subtract a-b\n3.Subtract b-a\n4.Multiply\n5.Divide a\\b\n6.Divide b\\a\n7.Quit");
                int c = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
                switch(c)
                    case 1:System.out.println(a+"+"+b+" = "+(a+b));
                    break;
                    case 2:System.out.println(a+"-"+b+" = "+(a-b));
                    break;
                    case 3:System.out.println(b+"-"+a+" = "+(b-a));
                    break;
                    case 4:System.out.println(a+"x"+b+" = "+(a*b));
                    break;
                    case 5:System.out.println(a+"\\"+b+" = "+(a\b));
                    break;
                    case 6:System.out.println(b+"\\"+a+" = "+(b\a));
                    break;
                    case 7:break;
                    case default:System.out.println("Invalid Option. Please select a number from 1-6");
                    break;
            catch(Exception e)
                System.out.println("Error: "+e.getMessage());
    }              It highlights case 5 and gives me an illegal character:\92 error, but ive used the double slashes(\\) earlier in the println to choose an option without any problem there.
    I dont understand why this is happening! Even if i remove the "\\" i get the same error , and as BlueJ suggested, i tried typing the line again to avoid some invisible character causing problems..

    Hi,
    I think we use "/" for division and not "\" .
    thanks & regards,

  • Character conversion error when installing Java Portlet Container Preview

    server.xml looks ok, and I've tried tweaking it to no avail. Anyone know what could cause this?

    Could you make sure you don't have any extra Apache libraries hanging around in your global classpath, i.e. ensure there is nothing extra in <J2SE Home>/jre/lib/extThere's a xercesImp.jar under mid/j2ee/OC4J_Portal/applications/jpdk/jpdk/WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar, but there's also one under jwsdp-1.2/jaxp/lib/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar. Is that supposed to be in there?
    Neither of these are getting loaded, though; running java -verbose shows that all of org.apache.xalan.* is being loaded from mid/jdk/jre/lib/rt.jar
    FWIW, ../../lib/xmlparserv2.jar does exist, but doesn't look like it's being loaded. :-\

  • ID CS6: Character pallet and all type options appear frozen

    Windows 7.  Yes, I selected the text.  My CS5.5 document would freeze the select tool, etc so I cleared the presets and the cache.  The 5.5 doc had a font not recognized by CS 6.  To get around this, I decided to recreate the doc with the Arial font in CS6.  Creating a totally new doc, I am unable to change the typeface, point size, etc using the type bar or the character pallet.  I can make changes using the "Type" option pulldown.  All of this works fine in AI & PS, just not ID.  Ideas?

    Could be this: InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)

  • Character pallet does not list all fonts

    On all previous versions of photoshop, whatever fonts were in the windows/fonts folder were available to use in the character pallet. Now, with CS3, only the system fonts show up. Some of the other fonts are listed separately at the bottom of the list...but by name only. Meaning they are not actually the font style that they claim to be. Is this just happening to me? A bug maybe?

    Umm, what fonts? What version of Windows? What are your region settings? Font ordering and display is affected by it... Apart from that, the behavior seems not normal. Do you have enough user privileges to actually access the font folder? Maybe it's something like that, that prevents Windows from properly building its font cache...

  • Character Pallet Missing

    I can't get the character pallet to open no matter what I do. I've tried the Edit->Special Characters thing.
    I went into System Preferences->International->Input Menu Tab-> but there is nothing there about character pallet or anything similar. When I check the "Show input menu in menu bar" option it puts the little flag in the menu bar but there is no option for character pallet if I click the flag.
    So, it seems like my character pallet is just missing. Anybody know what my problem could be?
    Thanks

    I think I had the same problem as the original poster. I kept missing the "Keyboard Viewer", which I finally found is the 3rd option down in the 'Input Menu' in 'International'. Finally, I saw it and put a checkmark in its box.
    No, the original poster's problem was quite different. Some people do not have Keyboard Viewer or Character Palette listed at all in the Input Menu, so they cannot check any box for it. When that is the case, they need to use the fix provided by Apple:

  • Why my Character Pallet in Utilities always blink and disappear?

    Why my Character Pallet in Utilities always blink and disappear? I cannot add special characters. It's very annoying. Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    Try turning on all desired toolbars under View/Toolbars. I noticed in FM12 that the palettes are displayed depending on the function you're using (e.g., Manage Graphics, Authoring, etc.) - top right of the screen. I have all my editing toolbars turned on, then leave the mode to Manage Graphics. Everything stays and I don't have to continually re-open. Hope that helps.
