Firefox 3.6.3 et accent aigu et tréma

Bonjour,
Depuis la mise à jour de firefox 3.6.3, je ne peux plus écrire sur les sites des lettres avec des accents aigus et tréma ?
J'ai beau appuyer sur la touche cela ne fonctionne pas sous firefox, mais
marche très bien sous IE8 et Opéra.
C'est comme si firefox à oublier cette touche du clavier.

Did you change the keyboard layout?
Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/The-Language-bar-overview - The Language bar (overview)
You can check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar, so you need to do that while Firefox has focus.
Windows remembers that setting per application and the default is a key combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that you can easily use in Firefox to activate a menu item.
Disable the key sequence to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift) to avoid an unintentional switch and instead assign a specific key (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to switch to the keyboard layout.
For XP see: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Text services and input languages > Details > Key Settings > Change Key Sequence
For Vista see: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

Why is firefox rendering any kind of accent or other character in an odd fashion now naivete for instance can only be rendered without the accents?

naïveté is rendered naÃ¯vetÃ©
power — the spiritual principles is rendered power â€” the spiritual principles
There are other instances of this.
We are concerned especially with the inability of the browser to render accents properly

Make sure that you have selected Unicode.

Firefox freezes when you type accented Spanish in Google Docs

If you try to type accented Spanish characters into Google Docs, the current Firefox window display will freeze and will not change - although you can still close it. Other windows are not affected.

How are you typing the characters?
Does it also happen if you use the compose key (compose ~ and n: ñ) or paste such a character?

Arabic text with accents shown broken

Hello,
In FireFox 4, Arabic text with accents (ًٌٍَُِّْ) is shown broken. It was displayed correctly in previous versions and also in IE.
Consider please the following examples, and compare between the words with and without accents. You can see the gaps between the letters:
دعم فَيَرفُكس
مُتَصَفِّحُ فَيَرفُكس هُو مُتَصفح الانترنت الأفضل فى العالم
The problem is not site specific. It is common to all sites with Arabic texts. I'll just provide an example URL. Compare the display of FF4 with previous versions or with IE.
Thank you.. You are the best !! :)

BTW, disabling/enabling the option "allow web pages to use their own fonts" had no effect. The broken text problem is the same in either case.

Accent marks on a US keyboard

Hi everyone
I've just bought a new MacBook. I ordered it with a US keyboard, because i'm a software developer, and an US layout is the best thing for me. It will be delivered to me in 3 or 4 days
I was wondering if i can write letters with accent marks (like à,ò,è,ì), even with the new computer...
Do you know some ways to solve this issue?
Thx

Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources and check "Keyboard and Character Viewer". Then, when you select "Show Keyboard Viewer" from the menu bar, you will be able to see all characters that you can type. You can select "Show Character Viewer" for the other 60,000 characters you can't type.
For the diacritical marks, use the option key:
cédille ⌥ c
accent grave ⌥ `
accent aigu ⌥ e
umlaut ⌥ u
circonflexe ⌥ i
tilde ⌥ n

Menu bar accessibility severe issue

Dear support team
I am a visually impair person (20/100) vision. I am working as software architect since 27 years in the Windows and Linux world. A year ago I bought an AirPort and I fall in love with Apple product best quality: "Always work like a charm"!
So 5 months ago I decide to make the jump and I bought an iMac 27", i7, 16GB, 2TB. As expected, everything works wonderfully until I realize the terrible mistake Apple techies made regarding accessibility that even Microsoft fixes years ago.
The menu bar has NO descent support at all for accessibility.
Let me explain the four fold problem:
1) The font size cannot be adjusted, so I must memorize menu item position or stretch my neck to see what I am selecting.
2) Being 50 years old, I am wearing progressive lens, so only the bottom part of the lens are adjusted for reading, this implies that I shall stretch my neck even more to be able to see something on the menu bar.
3) I am from Quebec Canada, so I use both English and French languages. However, the "language icon" at the right end of the menu bar is so small that they look identical.
4) When you change the size of the mouse pointer, its positioning becomes offseted.
I am using the mouse zooming functionality to work around these problems, but believe me, this is far from being appropriate. Changing the resolution is no a solution too.
You have to realize that visually impair people are buying large screens with the believing that they will be able to adjust font / icon size so everything will work well and they will have good screen real-estate. Also don't forget that your earlier Apple adaptors are now over 40's and they wear progressive lens too.
Now how to fix the problem:
1) Use the same magnification effect on the menu bar as the one on the Dock.
2) Allow user to change the language icon or at least its colour.
3) Make the menu bar font size adjustable.
4) Allow the user to move the menu bar at the bottom of the screen.
5) Fix the mouse pointer offset issue, this is just a question of taking the mouse pointer size into account in the position calculation.
I perfectly understand that allowing the user to change the font size of the menu bar (which is the system font size) may have side effects, same for moving the menu bar at the bottom of the screen. However, there is NO excuse to not provide magnification effect on menu bar and language icon configuration.
Not providing these features are just like not providing access ramp to public buildings and saying: There is always someone passing by that will help the rare "cases" who have to deal with the situation. If it is not enough, in Quebec, it is forbidden to use very small fonts in legal documents!!!
This shall not be seen as a legal or business issue but rather an ethical issue exactly like the access ramp. You, Apple, shall do your best to give equal access to your products independently of physical conditions.
I am sure the people who create these wonderful products at Apple will see this as a very interesting challenge to make MAC much more accessible to roughly 30% of the population, people over 40s and visually impair people.
Best regards
PS: If anybody knows which door to knock to get this issue fixed, let me know; the normal did not work at all.

If you wish to contact Apple, the only way to do so is via Apple's Feedback page. We are just other Apple customer like yourself. We can offer suggestions and workarounds, but be can't move the menu bar.

You are using Universal Access aren't you? There are a number of ways to zoom in on the screen (including the menu bar) or have it spoken to you. Plus, most commands have a ⌘ (command) key equivalent. If the built-in Universal Access features are insufficient, you could use Automator to create a whole suite of shortcuts to commonly-performed operations.
3) I am from Quebec Canada, so I use both English and French languages. However, the "language icon" at the right end of the menu bar is so small that they look identical.
That is just for keyboard input. What is your keyboard's layout? If it is in English, I would say just use the shortcuts for French diacriticals. option e for accent aigu, option ` for accent grave, option i for circonflexe, option u for umlaut, and option c for cedille. If your keyboard in is French, the shortcuts should still work for circonflexe and umlaut. I do a fair amount of work in French and I would get really confused if I changed by keyboard.
4) When you change the size of the mouse pointer, its positioning becomes offseted.
Are you doing this through Universal Access? I don't really understand what you mean. It seems to work fine. There is a "hot point" on the cursor and it seems to be at the same (relative) place regardless of the cursor size.
I am using the mouse zooming functionality to work around these problems, but believe me, this is far from being appropriate. Changing the resolution is no a solution too.
Have you tried this hint to enable Resolution Independence? It is supposed to be buggy, but it is what you are asking for.

How do I type diacritics when using the Hebrew phonetic keyboard?

I have a Romanian keyboard layout and as I am currently learning Hebrew, I find it easier to remember where each letter is if I use the phonetic layout instead of the classic layout. My question is how do I use this layout to efficiently insert diacritics. I am currently using the character viewer but it's painfully slow. I tried to search for a tutorial but I can't seem to find one anywhere. Any help is highly appreciated.

I can't help with Hebrew, but perhaps it works the same as on the English keyboard. If you type opt+e you get an accent aigu highlighted in yellow. You can then type another character that would have have that accent (a, e, o, etc). The combined letter will be formed.
A little searching and I found [this|http://forum.redlers.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2317]. Apparently it is letter + opt-number.

How do you make French accents when typing an email in Firefox?

I know how to use keystrokes in Word, but they don't work in email. I tried changing from English to French in the language bar but that didn't help. What's the secret?

A possibility is to install a keyboard layout like US International that supports dead keys to make it easier to enter accented letters.<br />
You need to change the keyboard layout while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers that layout per program.

Use Unicode (UTF-8) for those characters.
Then you will always be sure that they are displayed correctly.

I cannot type accent marks in firefox 4

Firefox 4, Mac OX 10.6.7
I Firefox 3 I could type an accent mark using the US keyboard by
pressing the option key. For example to type é, I would type option e followed by e.
Now in Firefox 4,the only way to type the accent marks is to use the French keyboard. Is there a fix for this or is this a bug in Firefox 4?

Such a composition of characters is usually handled by the OS and Firefox shouldn't have effect on it.

Problem with display of accented characters

Since 10.6 installation, in Safari, Firefox and OpenOffice, accents are way up high above the characters they are supposed to go with.
I found this site describing the problem (with screen captures), but no answer to stop this behaviour : http://www.betalogue.com/2009/09/08/snow-leopard-preview/
Do you know any way to fix this ?

Are you talking only about pdf's?
If not, it sounds like it could be a font problem. If you are talking about ordinary text you are typing or viewing in OpenOffice, could you send me a screenshot showing the font being used (tom at bluesky dot org)? Does it happen with the font switched to Lucida Grande?

Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.

Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.

Make Flash Plug-In for Firefox Remember Privacy Settings for Camera and Mic Access on Local File

My company is using Flash Player to develop some kiosk-style applications to run on a standalone computer (no network connection). This computer will contain web pages containing Flash content. They will be opened from the local HD with Firefox with the Adobe Flash plug-in (v11.7.700.224). One of the applications accesses the microphone hooked up to the computer. When this application is started, it always asks for permission for "local" to access the microphone and camera. In previous versions of our system, we could click "Remember" if we did it once and that would make it so it wouldn't ask for permissions again (in this case, the Remember option isn't available, and the site settings don't even offer the Privace tab). However, in the previous case, we were running IE with a previous ActiveX Flash version (unfortunately, this approach is no longer available as we have had to switch to Windows 8 and that changes the game with IE and Flash entirely).
At this point, we have tried to use the Global Settings for "Camera and Microphone Settings by Site..." to enter "Local" as an always allowed site. This does not seem to have any effect. We also tried entering the root directory of the applications in "Trusted Location Settings", but that also seemed to have no effect.
I'm not sure what has fundamentally changed here. I think there might be some differences in the Plug-In version (compared to ActiveX), but I'm not sure what they might be or how to do the same thing as before.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Torrey

Chris,
We learned that the Privacy tab (in Settings) can be found under the Flash plug-in for Firefox, but only if Firefox is running under an administrator.
Unfortunately, we haven't had much luck with the mms.cfg file. The following was used in the mms.cfg file (placed in both the %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash and %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash” directories):
AVHardwareDisable = 0
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = local
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = 127.0.0.1
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = localhost
AutoUpdateDisable = 1
The AVHardwareEnabledDomain settings seem to be getting ignored regardless of whether the user is a standard user or an administrator. I also checked to make sure it wasn't just a local problem by going to a website that uses a microphone (http://www.testden.com/accent-reduction/systemcheck.htm). Adding the requested domain to the list (AVHardwareEnabledDomain = train.act360.com) still didn't bypass the allow/deny dialog box.
We know that the mms.cfg file is being read because setting "AVHardwareDisable = 1" will result in no prompt and that section being greyed out in Global Settings. I saw a post that suggested this setting was required to even make the AVHardwareEnabledDomain work, but it seems to block the local entirely and still brings up the dialog query on the internet site.
Thanks,
Torrey

CS5 AI. How to add accented text character in windows

I am trying to get the accented (acute/forward) characters for a, e, i, o, u. (and their capital versions) in illustrator CS5 (Windows 7). I do not want to use the Glyphs - impractical. Neither do I want to use the windows character box or Alt xxxx codes.
Accented characters are part of normal text - for all but English speakers
All my other programs (MS OFfice, CAD etc) allow me to use AltGr key + letter (AltGr = right alt = Ctrl+Alt). This is also the case for Photoshop CS5 but not Illustrator.
In windows control panel I have changed languages (e.g. English, Spanish) and keyboards (e.g. US-international). No difference. As soon as I press AltGr key, I move into Group Selection mode. I have deleted all Illustrator shortcuts that include Ctrl + Alt - still no use.
I have tried previous suggestions in this and similar forums
Is there any simple way to resolve this. I have put up with this since CS1 but I thought it was fixed. Now it seems not - AI is to remain English speaking only (?)

My normal setup is English UK language with English UK keyboard.
I am not sure I understand your comment "Accents on a tertiary modifier such as AltGr is rather unusual..." and I am not clear about primary keys and secondary modifiers but from my experience...
AltGr (or Ctrl + Alt) + vowel will give accented (forward) vowel in any package that I use - for example Microsoft Word, Excel, OneNote, Firefox, Paint Shop Pro, TurboCad etc - and many more. It is a standard in windows and has been for years. Even Photoshop follows it. But not Illustrator.
In trying to get it to work in Illustrator I have tried every reasonable combination of keyboards (e.g. US-international, Spanish) and languages (e.g. French, Spanish etc) as well as English
I'd happily work with any two-key / three - key shortcut I could set up in Illustrator.
