Disappearing content in glyphs panel

I am using InDesign CS3 and make huge use of the Glyphs panel for accented characters in French, Spanish, etc. Yesterday I opened this panel to convert some French and to my dismay found no glyphs in the display at all, and all the commands blanked out in the menus. I closed down and relaunched the application and when that did not work, I tried restarting Windows. Still no glyphs! If I were running a Mac I would trash Preferences and see if that worked, but this is a Windows XP machine (1 gig of RAM) at work. This panel was fine a few days ago.
I have not installed anything new to this computer recently and stay current with InDesign updates. Any ideas?

Hey, I didn't know you could do that in Windows! :) But I found out how to do it (close the program, start it up again and quickly hold down ctrl-alt-shift) and it worked --thank you so much! Because not only my glyphs went missing, so did my strokes, character (the general one, not the custom), and a few others!
So thanks again for pointing me in the right direction, because I am working on Swedish now and was moaning and groaning about dragging in those characters from Character Map. :)

  • Glyph panel corrupted in CS3

    I have InDesign CS3 in Widnows 7, latest updates. All of a sudden, the "entire font" window in the glyph pane has disappeared. None of the other drop-down options there work either. Only the "recent glyphs" show up. I have no idea what cause this. Any ideas how to fix this?
       Otherwise, everything works fine.

    This was the first thing I had tried, but it doesn't affect the Glyphs panel. Not expecting so quick a response, I went and tried a more drastic step a couple of minutes ago: backing up and then deleting the entire "Cache" subdirectory at  C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0\.
       It worked.

  • URGENT ! Help to printing contents of a panel (Plz Help me)

    hi guys,
    i developed a application which consists of lot of information on a panel, i am using print utilities and printing the panel but its printing only the visible part of the panel and its printing a single page. is there any way i can print the whole contents of the panel
    i really appreciate if anyone can help me out.

    public static void enableDoubleBuffering(Component c) {
    RepaintManager currentManager = RepaintManager.currentManager(c);
    currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(true);

    not exactly so...
    implementing Pageable means imlpementing methods that return the number of pages, PageFormat object, and Printable object for each page... look in the API for this interface. It's actually quite a lot of work to do, as you have to divide your panel programmatically on "good" - suitable for your purposes rectangles of the page size, then cretae printale object for each ... but that can be done.
    I'm not that familiar with java printing, perhaps there is a much easier way to do it. Anyway, when I had to print one component on several pages, that's what I did - so it works.

  • Spry accordion widget - SSI (server side include) as content in the panel

    After having inserted the following command <!--# include file = "content2.asp" -> in the accordion Panel Content I get an error in Dreamweaver - every time I open the file. See the error in the attached picture.
    Once all files are uploaded to the server it works apparently without problems or script errors.
    Is there anyone who can help me to use SSI "server side include" as content in accordion panels?

    Thanks for your reply.
    The fault lay in the SSI file. This file contained these tag:
    </ html>
    And of course the tag </ html> generate an error if the tag is inserted in the content of the accordion panel via ssi file.

  • Hi I have trouble in using alternative characters from the glyphs panel in illustrator CS5.

    I have recently installed the CS5 version of Adobe Creative Suite I have purchased long ago.
    I have trouble using the alternative characters from the glyphs panel. The problem doesn't happen with a specific font but a few.
    There are fonts that work fine and fonts that do not (either true or open type fonts)
    I can see the characters alternatives in the glyphs panel but when clicking only the normal characters appear.
    I have also tried to re-install the fonts but didn't fix the problem.
    Reading from previous posts that other users had same problem they concluded that there has been a problem / bug with the CS5 version glyphs that needed to be fixed
    Is this the case? What shall I do?

    Hi - I have found the update so problem solved !

  • Glyph panel not displaying font character sets in cs5.5

    Hi
    I'm having issues with accessing font character sets & glyphs in ID cs5.5.
    I have all my fonts in fontbook and can see the full font character sets displayed but
    when I go to my glyph panel to access any additional character or glyphs sets there
    is nothing displayed. Any idea where I'm going wrong?
    Thank you

    You potentially have a "bad" font. Check your fonts and remove the offender.

  • Checking for Content in Collapsible Panel

    Is it possible, to programmatically, have Collpasible Panels
    open or closed , based on whether there is content in the panel or
    not? I have a scenario where we have emploeyed the collapsible
    panels, but have some panel sections that do not have content yet,
    and some that do. Eventually they will all have content, but not
    right now. My client still wants to retain those empty panels for
    future use, but only have the populated panels open when first
    entering the page.

    Hi Diana,
    I have a question about your second example above where "all
    panels when page loads are closed" You say that adding the
    following script should work:
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    var cpg2 = new
    Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanelGroup("CollapsiblePanelGroup2", {
    contentIsOpen: false });
    </script>
    Since I am using the Spry.widget.Accordian version. I
    modified the above script to read:
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", {
    contentIsOpen: false });
    </script>
    for the following elements markup inside of the html tags:
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
    charset=iso-8859-1" />
    <title>Spry Accordion</title>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
    src="javascript/SpryAccordion.js"></script>
    <link href="styles/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet"
    type="text/css" />
    </head>
    <body>
    <div class="Accordion" id="Accordion1" tabindex="0">

    The result I get is that the first panel still opens by

  • Why doesn't Photoshop have a glyphs panel?!

    I look for it every time I want to add a glyph because both Illustrator and InDesign have it. I have to open Illustrator, type the glyph, and then copy and paste it into Photoshop. It's a very inefficient process....

    All the apps have different teams for development, so there is little communication between teams. Features that are in one app, either may not work in other apps, or require all new code to be written. A Glyph panel has had a lot of request by many people. Hopefully Adobe will add this feature to PS soon.

  • Information about my hyperlinks disappeared from my hyperlinks panel and I need to know how to restore it.

    I am using InDesign CS6 for Windows. Information about my hyperlinks disappeared from my hyperlinks panel and I need to know how to restore it. I clicked on the panel and the hyperlinks section disappeared. I can see cross-references, but not hyperlinks.

    1.  Re: Information about my hyperlinks disappeared from my hyperlinks panel and I need to know how to restore it.
    Thank you. I can see the word, and I tried dragging but there is no moving the divider.

  • Mousewheel not working when over contents of custom panel.

    So I have a custom collapisble panel, that when the user mousewheel's while over the header or footer of the panel it the entire page will scroll appropriately, but when the mouse is over the content inside the panel, the entire page won't scroll. I thought it might be the s:Scroller, but taking it out doesn't help. Anyone have the same issue? 
    Here is the contents of my custom panel.
    <s:VGroup width="100%">
                <s:Scroller width="100%" >
                    <s:Group>
                        <s:layout>
                            <s:VerticalLayout horizontalAlign="justify"  />
                        </s:layout>
                        <custom:DG id="connectionsDG" width="100%"
                                                     excludeFrom="blah"
                                                     />
                        <custom:Something  id="multipleBlah"
                                                            includeIn="blah2"
                                                            />
                    </s:Group>
                </s:Scroller>
                <s:Group width="300" bottom="5" top="5" left="5">
                    <view:customAddButton id="AddButton"
                                          excludeFrom="blah" enabled="{enableAddBtn}"/>
                </s:Group>
    </s:VGroup>

    So the issue is setting MouseChildren = true on my custom Panel, by setting this the children are catching the mouseWheel event, I guess.  If I set mouseChildren=false then the mouseWheel works correctly, but then the buttons and scroller within my custom Panel don't work, of course.  Anyone have any work arounds?

  • Idesign CC 2014 doesn't recognise the glyph panel plug-in

    Hey P Spier, I tried doing Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift  and was fast enough for the dialog box to appear, but it didn't solve the problem, so I tried the ''manual'' replacement pref and it didn't work either. Is there a way to download the Glyphs panel plugin so I can reinstall it?

  • Spry Accordion menu - How do you make tabs without content and make panel height fit the content?

    I have an Accordion Menu on my site and I would like to put a tab at the top that links to my homepage when clicked, instead of sliding open to show a content panel. I don't have any extra info to put in the content panel, so it would look kind of redundant to have it there.
    Also, each panel has a different amount of content, but they all default to the same height to fit the largest content. I want them to fit to the content of each panel. The only thing I've read said to set the height of the content panel to 100% in the CSS, but it didn't change anything.
    Thanks!

    You make it look so simple but it doesn't seem to be working for me...
    My first thought with getting rid of the tab content was to simply delete it, but when I do that I get a warning that 'The structure of the accordian appears to be damaged'. Then when I preview none of the tabs will open.
    This is what my accordian structure looks like with the tab content code deleted...

    Also, getting rid of the height in the CSS had no effect (I did this before I did the above)
    Below is my current CSS for the Panel Content
    .AccordionPanelContent {
        overflow: auto;
        margin: 0px;
        padding: 0px;
        font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif;
        font-size: large;
        background-color: #633408;
        font-weight: normal;
        word-spacing: normal;
        text-align: center;
    Also there is a note in the CSS that says this...
    * Anyone who styles an Accordion *MUST* specify a height on the Accordion Panel
    * Content container.
    I'm not sure how accurate that is since I don't have a height in there and it worked (although not how I wanted) but I just thought I would throw it in.

  • Disappearing Content

    Bridge has suddenly lost many of the thumbnails and sub-folders in the Contents panel - they do not appear when I click on a folder in the Folder panel. The files still exist on the computer. There seems no reason why some folders or files may be present, and others not. It affects jpegs, whole folders, and RAW files. When I click in the empty area of the contents pane, the image appears in the preview pane, than Bridge crashes.

    I purged the cache before building and exporting it.
    Bridge is CS3 2.1.1.9
    Mac OS X 10.4.11
    Files are .CR2 or .NEF or .jpg depending on which camera I have used.
    I've googled and Wikipaediaed ACR but don't know what it is or whether I have it at all, Sorry!
    I have recently changed a heap of file names because although my Mac accepts them, I don't believe a PC will, and I was trying to standardise everything to future-proof my system. My backup external hard-drive is not Mac-based, but has accepted almost all of my file names to date.
    Reset workspace and use the refresh button F5 key. - Done. No change.
    Copy files from 1 folder to a brand new folder and try again. - Done. They are shown in the new folder!
    If I have to do this with all my folders, it will be rather time-consuming... but my main concern is that the jpegs will then be a copy and will have lost some quality.
    Quit Bridge and go to the user library preferences folder. Inhere find the
    Bridge plist file and drag this to the trash. Then in the same library go to
    the caches folder caches/Adobe/Bridge(your version number with it) and in
    here you find a cache folder (this one can grow to huge proportions
    depending on file size, preview quality and amount of files you use). Grab
    this folder and drag it to the trash (or elsewhere outside the library if
    you want to be able to put it back.)
    Then restart bridge again with option key and choose again refresh
    preferences. Reset Bridge to your wishes and point to a folder to try again.
    - Done the trick. All the thumbnails appear to be there now, and there is a new folder in library/caches/adobe/bridge, of the same size as the previous one.
    Thank you for your very specific and prompt help - is there anything I can do to stop it happening again?

  • Adding dynamic content to accordion panels

    Hello,
    and thank you in advance for any help.
    I need to make a new web page for my girlfriend. She's a
    photographer which means she needs to update her page pretty often.
    The usual small systems however were way too complicated for her.
    After seeing Spry, I decided to use it, along with Relay
    which gives an easy option for updating content. So here's my plan:
    - I install Relay so she has sort of a back-end to update her
    pictures.
    - I have a php script which reads out the directories and
    makes an xml file to use with spry.
    However I find it very difficult to understand how I should
    use this xml file. Additionally, she wants to have the accordion
    panels, so I have to put the code (probably the same code with only
    a different xml filename for each directory) into every panel.
    Could anybody help me with that? Please note that I haven't
    started anything yet and am right now trying stuff locally.
    Thank you again.
    Mete

    Hello again,
    I'll try to describe the case once again, this time more
    clearly:
    - I will install Relay onmy server to enable uploading
    pictures. Relay stores the upload pictures in different directories
    which are created by the user and the path to each directory is
    known.
    - A PHP-Script reads out the content of these directories
    (names, paths etc) and gives a list as an XML-File.
    What I want to do is:
    Make an HTML-Page and use Spry Accordion Panels in it.
    Let's say I have 5 panels. Each panel (in itself) shall use
    the XML-file (one file per directory) to display the pictures. The
    styling will be made by using the CSS.
    My problem is:
    I just can not figure out how to use the regions etc in Spry.
    I have to admit that so easy it is to use, it 's also pretty
    difficult to understand the logic behind it for non-skilled users
    (especially for those who do not have Dreamweaver etc). I can't
    find the answers to my questions like: Why do the datasets get the
    prefix "dsXXXX"?
    I only want to read the XML-File and display these pictures
    in an Accordion Panel without floating, which means it has to
    scroll left and right.
    I hope this makes it easier to understand :)
    Thank you once again!

  • Unable to add content to Tab Panel when set in Master

    I am using the trial version at this time.... and want to confirm whether this is a bug or a purposeful limitation of the trial version beofre I consider buying.
    So I created a master page with a tabbed panel. However for each individual page I would like the tabbed panel to have different content within it. It appears that I cannot edit/add the tabbed panel in an indidual page when it is set in the master page. This is a huge issue.... as I have 10 pages that need the same tabbed panel, but with different content within each tab. Getting over my frustration, I went looking for a template creation..... there is no option to make and apply templates (which is sort of what the master is anyhow).
    This is a problem because, for instance... what if my client wants another tab in the tab panel.... without the master working per above.... I'm going to have to go in and change each of them individually.
    Have other people had this problem? Is it because of the trial version? Is adobe aware of this? Is there a fix? Or some detail I have overlooked?
    Thanks all,
    burnor

    Thanks I'll do that for the next 10-15 pages for now.... but what would really be awesome is if adobe would add the functionality I'm describing. Thus added it to the idea board....
