Font encoding problems when opening v7 in v10

Hi, I recently upgraded to v10, but still have quite some old content originally created in v7. While the content looks pretty ok on screen when i open for instance a Russian file, it looks like total disaster when creating a MIF file out of it. Seems like somewhere in the process the whole encoding goes banana.
The fonts used originally were HelveticaCyr Upright and Times Ten Cyr Upright. When I install these on my machine the content looks pretty OK on my screen, but I can't change the font to anything else without totally screwing up the layout. Changing it to any other font supporting Cyrillic (for instance plain old Arial) makes the content look gibberish again
An example : Take following Russian word : Оглавление (means content for the ones intrested...)
When I copy this word freshly entered from a texteditor into FM10 using one of the Cyr Upright fonts it's shown as ????????. Changing the font to for instance Arial makes it show up as expected.
When I select the original word in FM (so looking ok on screen) and change the font to Arial it looks like Îãëàâëåíèå. Same behaviour happens if I copy the word directly from FM10 to any text editor. So, while all looks ok on screen when I open the file, I can't change the font without destroying the document, and worst of all, when I export to MIF all my Russian is converted to unreadable strings looking something like Îãëàâëåíèå
It's driving me nuts, anybody has a clue where my problem is located ?
Thanks in advance !

Your FM7 document is using legacy "overlay" aka "code page" cyrillic font technology. The Russian text was created by applying the Cyr font in Paragraph Format, Character Format, or just as a local override, then typing the 8-bit code points for the glyphs in that font (which map to various accented characters in a roman font, as you see).
What's encoded in the .fm file (and .mif) for that text is 8-bit characters which could be displayed as roman, symbol, dingbat, cyrillic, Thai, or other glyph families, depending on what Font Family is applied.
FM8 and later, including your FM10, support Unicode (UTF8, specifically), in which every glyph, from every character set, planet-wide, has a unique 3-byte code point. No overlays. No confusion about whether any byte triplet is supposed to be a D or a gamma. The only issue is whether or not the font has that glyph code point populated with outlines.
FM apparently continues to support legacy overlay fonts, as long as the font is loaded on the machine during edit (and this is as it has always been).
The real concern here is: for FM8 and later, was any legacy-to-Unicode conversion supposed to be happening when you open a legacy document in a Unicode FM?
I'm guessing that it doesn't happen, because there would have to be some dialog controlling how to map the legacy font to some arbitrary Unicode font. FM would have to know what the language (glyph map) was for the old font, and would have to verify that each code point exists in the new Unicode font - seems unlikely.
We haven't needed to do this, so I have no direct experience with how it is supposed to work (I'm only watching the issue so we handle our non-roman special character usage in a portable way). This Adobe FM forum doesn't seem to go back to the FM8 transition period, and thus hasn't much content on this issue. There may be some work-arounds. Possibly FM gets a little more magical if your PC is set to Russian when you open the old doc in FM10.

Strange problem when opening word doc situated in WLS virtual dir

Hi all,
we have a strange problem when opening word doc
situated in C:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\webutil
we put some word docs there and tried to open from forms using for example web.show_document('http://wp0606:9001/forms/webutil/mug00103.doc', '_blank');
no problem using FF, however in IE8 the word doc is shown in its binary format, this also happens when we try to open the doc in IE8
however when we google and search for instance for a test.doc and then click on this url a file save dialog is shown
that's why we believe that this might be due to a configuration issue of WLS
any help would be greatly appreciated

I think you have 2 ways to go here. Figure out what html is from wherever weblogic gets it, meaning you have to delve into the docs, snoop
around in directories and find what it must be sending (This is going to be unavoidable if you are going to change what weblogic is doing.
Sooner or later you have to try to figure out where it gets this stuff from)
or
you can experimentally snoop on your url with a tool like wget or curl. These are fundamental web tools.
The latter is always a useful thing to be able to do. (you need to formulate a query to get the content-type).
Whoever managed to get weblogic to serve any files in the first place probably can figure this out.

Problem when opening "Mail"

Dear members of the Apple Community,
After transferring my files and my profile on my new Macbook pro, I keep encountering a problem when opening "Mail". Each time I try, the app asks me to choose a mail account to add, but I already added the ones I normally use. I can either create/add this new account or click the "cancel" button. I cannot use the program (the main functions are not available). But if I try to add a new account, Mail does not upload the new messages for my existing accounts and if I click "cancel", the application simply close itself. What could I do?
Thanks a lot to your help.

It might be worth running Disk Utilities and then Repair Disk Permissions to see if that resolves the problem.

WiFi signals get stronger the closer the machine is to the router and the less interference/blocking of the signal like via walls with metal in them or of thick concrete.
Since the signal emanates outwards in a sphere, your supposed to place the wireless router in a central location in the building so it covers all areas.
The power of the router also has a affect, if your router is old or something not that powerful like a Airport Express, it doesn't have the ability to filter out other signals or enough punch to get through walls etc. or cover a large area as effectively.
If you buy/have a powerful router of newer make and have issues where there is metal in the walls or thick concrete, then you can buy something like OpenMesh and by using Ethernet cables from the back of the router, extend the WiFi signal into other rooms and areas past the blockage.

Font pack required when opening an English PDF?

Hi,
Recently I am facing a problem with Adobe Reader 10.1. A font pack is required when opening a dynamic PDF generated from Adobe LiveCycle Designer. There is no other language than English is being designed to the PDF. This scenario is only happened when I am trying to open the PDF from Thailand localize Windows OS.
Below is the font reference from the PDF.

I don't know why this is happening. The first thing I would try is to update Adobe Reader to 10.1.9 or 11.0.6.

Encoding problem when forwarding mails with attachments using exchange account

Hi,
I'm facing a special misbehaviour of mail. Scenario: With Apple Mail 7.2 I would like to forward an exchange mail with attachments. The mail is wirtten in german and uses german special characters like äüöÄÖÜ. During editing the mail everything is ok which means all characters are shown in thte correct way. When I send the mail, something magic must happen in the background.
When I look in the sent mail folder and open the mail, all special characters are show as "?". Must be an encoding problem, I gues but I don't know how to fix it.
When I send exactly the same mail with another Apple mail account (non exchange), there is no problem. So I assume it has something to do with handling exchange accounts under Apple mail.
Any idea to solve this issue? Thanks in advance.
Br,
Jakob

This is a know issue with Yahoo! Email on the iPhone. When sending email, sometimes it will say it has been sent, while it really has not (and it will not show up in the sent folder).
It has been discussed quite a bit in the forums, so a search will turn up a lot of discussion, but no solid solution. Some say Yahoo is working on a fix, other that Apple is.
The most common solution (which is usually temporary), is to either reboot your phone, and/or delete and reinstall your Yahoo! Mail account on your phone.

I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

Strange problem when opening new message.

I have a rather annoying problem when I open a newly received SMS from a particular contact (lets call him Bill).
When I open the new message from Bill, either by swiping to unlock or touching a banner message at the top of the screen. Instead to being shown the message itself, I will automatically be taken to the 'start new message' screen with none of our message history (i.e. as if I am starting to type an entirely new message to Bill)
I can then cancel this and return to myself and Bill's normal message stream.
Any ideas how to get around this annoyance? Thank you.

Werid problem when open two songs

Hi,
When I have one song already open and I try to open a different one whilst keeping the first one open a strange problem occurs. As soon as the second song is open it appears at the arrange page and then it flicks back to the first songs arrange page. I then select the windows menu option and select the second song and the same thing happens. It flick on to the second song and then back to the first again. Its driving me crazy.. any ideas?

This is a common problem when trying to open 2 songs simultaneously. The solution seems to be (first) to close all open windows of both open songs including their arrange windows (but wihtout actually closing the songs in the process). Next, go to the Windows Menu and select song #1. Hit CMD-1 to open an arrange window for it. Re-size it so that it takes up only a portion of the screen. Then go back to the Windows Menu and select song #2. Again, hit CMD-1 to open an arrange window for this song too. You should now have two separate arrange windows visible and no switching. Lemme know if that works.

[CS4][AS] Detect problems when opening document

Hi,
Can anyone please help me?
I'm trying to write a applescript that opens a indesign file, prints the document, and closes the file again.
Everything works fine but when a file is opend, and there are some missing plugings, assignments, fonts, images, .... the script stops.
How can I detect if a error appears when opening a file? The file then has to be ignored...
How can I detect if anything is missing before printing the file?
Thanks
the script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set myDocument to open inInputFile
print active document using "HighresPreset" without print dialog
close active document saving no
end tell

Hi:
Sometimes you may want your script to proceed even if there are errors opening it. In that case, you can use the Preferences Suite -> Script Preference for user interaction level:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
   tell script preferences
      return user interaction level -- see what it's set to currently
      --set user interaction level to never interact -- change it
   end tell
end tell

I have a problem when opening contacts

i have a problem when i open contacts yellow message appear say u cunable to perform operation intenal error and continue loading contacts wzout any response
can anyone help?

never had this problem but it might be solved by a simpal re boot, if not and you got your contacts from a pc there might have been an error whilst sync'ing so you're probably best deleting all contacts then instead of a sync use the 'restore' function and just have the contacts selected, thats if you have a back up from your last phone on your pc (from a nokia phone) or you can sync with your old phone via bluetooth
if all else fails open the contacts and when you get the error press Ctrl, Shift and P to copy the screen's image then post it here and one of the advanced members might be able to help

Problem when opening files

I need help. I have a new intel imac, which has been running very well. However, a month ago I noticed when opening a file it will take a number of seconds to show the contents. For example, I click on a file and the file window will pop up but the window will be empty for 6-8 seconds before the file contents will appear. It doesn't matter what I have in the file (docs, pdf, pics) file content is always slow to appear. Anyone have this happen? Anything suggestions on how to correct? Thanks.

You need to post to the [intel forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1110], but have you tried resetting the PRAM?
