Font Editing to include diacritics creates havok.

Adobe font editing in FontLab, Adobe Creative Suite font problems, Font book
OS X 10.4.5
CS2 InDesign 4.0.2
Photoshop 9.0
FontLab 5.0
MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo
We have used FontLab to edit Adobe Caslon Pro to add diacritics for Hindi which are not available in the font. These are however, composite edits using existing components only. There are only 12 characters in this version needed.
Fonts are now displaying incorrectly, or missing all around. FontBook is 'finding' files for fonts of entirely different font families. Also they are displaying incorrectly there as well. In Safari some fonts are displaying in some kind of symbol which is not readable.
Upon launching InDesign now "Bad Font Detected" error is regularly coming up with a specific font listed. None of which are the fonts that we have modified.
I have contacted Adobe which we have a tech support contract with, however they do not wish to troubleshoot this due to the modified font which I can appreciate. However, we publish books and have a need to represent these languages and have not been able to locate good quality fonts with diacritics.
It is difficult to explain all the problems here. Possibly someone could recommend a troubleshooting path, as we've been bounced back and forth between Apple and Adobe and FontLab-- all seeming to point to the other. The problems are increasing exponentially. when I just copied this text to spell check it in TexEdit it pasted in looking like this:

You get the idea . . .
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am assuming that you are generating OpenType fonts from FontLab. The Windows and Mac Postscript Type 1 font formats can't represent what's in Caslon Pro.
Unfortunately, you often can't get away with inporting an OTF font into FontLab and regenerating it. FontLab imposes its own defaults, and offers a simpler interface than the set of tools which Adobe uses to generate its Pro OpenType fonts. A technically proficient designer could fix the problems in FontLab, but it is non-trivial - a day's work at least, possibly two or three for the first face. If you want to look further yourself, the problems are most likely in:
- name table: font menu names are messed up
- Unicode camp subtable: sounds liike Unicode values are no longer correct
- OS/2 code page ranges: check style linking, code page ranges.
I suggest you ask on the FontLab list for someone who can do contract work for this.

Hi,
Are you creating the include for the first time??
If you are modifying the include..Probably you have to use the modification assistant..
In the application toolbar...There are button for INSERT, REPLACE, DELETE..
Place the cursor on the code...Then press INSERT button..
It will open a block in that place..
Thanks,

How can I edit an iMovie project created on one machine on a different one?

I created an iMovie on one MacBook, and want a colleague to edit it.
I created a dropbox folder, moved all the files there; i can see them on the other Mac, but the project doesn't show up in the project window in iMovie on the other Mac and I can't open it there by browsing to it in Finder...
Can anyone help?

I think you can transfer an iMovie for iOS project from the iPad and edit it on iMovie on the Mac. This works fine.
However, you cannot start a movie on iMovie for the Mac and transfer it to iMovie for the iPad.
Think of it this way.
Say that iMovie for the Mac has 1000 features*, and iMovie for the iPad has 400 features*. These 400 features map one to one to an equivalent iMovie for Mac feature. Because there is a good mapping, you can transfer and edit.
But if you go the other way, iMovie for Mac has 600 features for which there is no corresponding feature in iMovie for iPad or iPhone. So there is no way to edit an iMovie for Mac project on the iPad.
* I made these numbers up for illustration purposes.

I have a MacBook Pro , Model Identifier MacBook Pro8,2 , MAC OX S 10.7.4
I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
thanks in advance..

You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.

Is it possible to edit a custom form created in SPD 2010 in Infopath 2010

I created a custom form in SPD, and need to use Infopath to further modify the form using features not available in SPD. But I can't get Infopath to open the custom form. Even if I selected the custom form in SPD and then click "Edit with Infopath"
in the ribbon, it still opens the default form. From list ribbon, it also always opens the default form, there is no way I can pick the form I want to edit.
Just want to confirm - Infopath can only edit default form (from SPD or the list ribbon), but not any form custom built in SPD.
Correct?

Hi QuickLaunch,
When edit SharePoint list forms in Infopath 2010, it always opens the original default Edit Form of the list.
It is impossible to edit a custom form created in SPD 2010 in Infopath 2010.
I suggest you Customizing SharePoint List Forms
in InfoPath 2010 directly.

The resource limits set for a profile are enforced only when you enable resource limitation for the database.

Include the "created by" field in formatted searches

Hello
Very stupid question : how do you include the "created by" (usersign) field in a formatted search for marketing document ? Where do you find the variable numbers since this field is not visible on screen ?
Thanks for your help
Fabrice

HI Milton Rafael Mazzali ,
$[USER] will display user number only.
First decided where u want to display user name. Create a formatted search for that field with this Query "SELECT T0.U_NAME FROM OUSR T0 WHERE T0.INTERNAL_K = $[USER]" and select auto refresh when customer code/name changes.
This will work.

I am trying to edit a certificate I created last year but I just keep getting a blue bar appear at the top??

Hi Russ,
Thanks for your response. I am not an experienced user of FC or other video editing software but if its that hit and miss I think I will go to the trouble of finding some better software - I have a busy enough life as is, I don;t want to get into second guessing what a software problem might be!
I have just successfully exported my video to a master file using one of the Apple codec options so it looks like it could be to do with the H.264 codec. I am wondering if Apples Compressor software would solve this problem - the only way to try this it to buy it, there is not trial for the compressor app. Any ideas?
Thanks

How do I edit a template I created?

I searched through past discussions and I'm still not getting anywhere. I can open the template but can't make any changes. I know it's probably me but it's a bit of a pain in the whatsit. Please help!

Once opened the material in a template should be editable. Test by creating a new text box or shape on the page and see if you can add to it or change it or type into it.
If you can't edit material that means it is locked or a master object. Unlock the items under the Format menu.
I am not on a Mac right now but Make master objects selectable is in Advanced at the bottom of the 3rd menu from memory. You may need to also unlock the Master objects if they are also locked.
If you are still having problems click on my blue name and email me a file to look at.

Is it the case that I can't back up all my files (including those created with third party software) to iCloud as I did with iDisk?

It seems as if icloud only wants me to save files to iCloud that I create with a few iCloud compatible apps (mail, pages, numbers, keynote). I used iDisk as an off-site back up for many of my most important files, including those created with 3rd party apps. Is it the case that I can no longer do that?

There are a number of alternatives to iDisk for file storage, most of them much faster. This page examines some of them:

JPA: looking for pattern to prevent edit of ownerId and created properties

My business and persistence tier architecture ideally should prevent editing of the ownerId, created, modified and version properties which are common to all my entities.
The ownerId is perhaps obviously the identifier of the user or group in a multi-user app who own the item of data and have rights to edit it. 'created' is the creation data when it was first written to the DB.
I can't set the 'modified' or 'version' fields to updateable="false" because they do need updating.
I don't want to use stored procedures, or interfaces for the entities. I'd like to keep it generic.
Do I have any other choice than to execute a native sql query to fetch the unchanged values?
Thanks
Adam

So I'll have to make 'created' and 'ownerId' parameters on the constructor with no setters and just hope I never have the need to set them.
But with 'modified' and 'version', the properties need updating. JPA needs to access the version field - does JPA do this by reflection? I'll run some experiments to see what happens.
With a setter on 'modified', I still want to protect it against change by anyone else. Well of course, I'm being a bit obstinate, if the 'modified' property is set every time by a listener, then it doesn't matter whether it was changed beforehand outside the persistence layer: that change will just get overwritten by the listener. Hmm.
