Foreign Language Fonts

Hi all
I have an Authorware piece which gets screen text and image
references from an Access database using ODBC.
My remit is now to produce the piece for several Foreign
languages. Some of them such as Polish and Czech have special
characters.
When I copy the text into the database or even a text
processor, these special characters display OK. However when I try
to put them into Authorware in Display Icons, the characters do not
show correctly.
I am sure that there must be something I am missing on the
properties side, so can anyone please advise.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think native Authorware text handles unicode very
well. You may be
able to get rtfOb.u32 to handle it.

How do you install foreign language fonts?

Does anyone know how to install foreign language fonts that doesn't come with iPad?

Nobody here has any way to tell you that, and Apple itself never provides this kind of info. Make sure you tell them you want it here:

(Even on a desktop/laptop Mac with the full version of OS X Ethiopic currently requires installing 3rd party software. I can provide the source if you are interested)

There were 2 armenian fonts and I added them to my keyboard. However, most of the keys are typing square boxes...!!!!!
Are you really not able to type it right here on this site like I can below? The top row of keys is
(HM QWERTY) ճւերտյւիոպ
(Western QWERTY) խվէրդեըիոբ
I am wondering if you are perhaps trying to type into MS Word? That app tends to be defective. If so, try selecting the text and setting the font to Mshtakan, which is a complete Armenian font that comes with OS X.

Captivate 5 English-to-Foreign-Language Font Errors

I am working with a large client who has experienced translation errors in Captivate 4 transfers to Captivate 5. The font they've used didn't translate into Chinese, and when the course was updating to Cap 5, everything basically broke.
My inquiry is about which Captivate fonts can translate into the top 15 foreign languages most widely used in BOTH Captivate 4 and Cap 5? Has anyone done any research into this area? Does anyone knows which fonts DO and DON'T translate fully given all the necessary symbols and characters in both versions?
Thanks for your help!
Steve

Hi Steve,
Welcome to captivate forum.
I did not get the scenario exactly.
Are you facing the issues with the text caption font, when captivate 4 project created in english version tried to open in captivate 5 chinese version?
Is it with the font type or caption text?
Regards,
Vikranth.

Install Foreign Language Fonts

Hello,
I am trying to install foreign language unicode fonts (Japanese) on my Macbook Pro. In particular, I am trying to install these fonts: http://www.dennybritz.com/ttf30.zip. The fonts install fine under Windows.
However, Mac OS X does not recognize them as unicode or Japanese fonts. The font name contains weird characters and I cannot use them when typing in Japanese.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Denny

Denny, I tried installing the two “marugo” fonts from the archive using Font Book, and they installed fine. I then tried using them: the katakana came out OK while typing, but not the kanji — however, kanji typed in a standard Apple Japanese font could be copied and pasted, and the font could then be changed to one of those in the archive.
I suspect that the problem is that these fonts date back to 2000, and that they were made for Windows; the reason that the font names appear strange is because the character set of the font names is encoded in Shift JIS, while the bytes in those names are treated as being MacRoman under Mac OS X. (Their intended names can be seen [here|http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Japanese.html] — search for “EPSON” in that page.) The font files would likely need to be modified (using an appropriate tool, e.g. FontForge) to work as expected under Mac OS X.

Foreign language fonts for iMovie title pages and captions

I would like to write title pages and captions i iMovie in the Polish language.
Typically, characters that are specific to the Polish language are entered by using the alt key and the letter that is to be accented. This doesn't seem to work in iMovie.
How can these special accented letters be entered in iMovie title pages and captions?

Typically, characters that are specific to the Polish language are entered by using the alt key and the letter that is to be accented. This doesn't seem to work in iMovie.
Did you go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for the Polish keyboard layout, and then select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder? Which key does what can be seen using Keyboard Viewer.
Try Lucida Grande if the font does not have the necessary characters.

Foreign Language Fonts/Keyboards For Word For Mac

If I purchase Word for Mac will I be able to import phonetic language keyboards which I created through Word on a PC? If I can import them will I be able to use them, or will I ultimately be limited to the current language/keyboard options in OS?

For OS X you make your own keyboards using

PC keyboard layouts are not usable. But I don't know what you are referring to when you say "created through Word". Best ask about that in the Word forum:

Display foreign language fonts on iPad's Safari

Hi, I am trying to read some Sinhalese (Sri Lankan) news web sites on iPad using Safari but it is not displaying Sinhalese fonts correctly, just gibberish. But same web sites display fonts correctly on latest Safari version on my PC. Can some one please tell is there anything I can try on iPad to display fonts correctly?

Hi Tom,
Thanks very much for your comment. Here are 2 web sites I normally go.
http://www.lankaenews.com/Sinhala/
http://www.lankanewsweb.com/Sinhala/
Thanks for the links. These are non-Unicode sites that use 1990's Windows-only technology to embed custom .eot fonts in the web page. As far as I know, no Mac could ever view them without the user finding a copy of the special "sandaru" font and installing manually on the machine. That's totally impossible for any iOS device.
You might want to ask the sites to create a Unicode alternative version of their pages for non-Windows viewers who are using the international standard for Sinhala encoding.
For an example of modern Unicode sites, which should display fine on your iPad, see

How to use foreign language fonts in song/video names?

Suppose I've configured the iPod for Traditional
Chinese users. How do I get the song/video names displayed
in traditional Chinese? Is there some particular
encoding (e.g. Big-5? Unicode? etc) that will work?
Thanks...

Is this language software advertised to be compatible with Windows 7? The incompatibility may not have anything to do with Photoshop.
One of the big differences between Windows 7 (also Vista) and XP is the User Account Control facility. It is possible that if you can't get a newer version of this software that you might be able to make it work by reducing the level of Windows 7 UAC. Click Start and type UAC in the search box to access the setting to do that.

Other language Fonts

Hi
I used Photoshop CS 3 Extended and ahving trouble with foreign language fonts. I have all the South Asian fonts installed which also shows up in my PS. But when I use the font (example Baraha), the characters are all garbled. I even tried copy/paste from Word, but that does not help.
How can I use the Baraha and also display correctly in my image ? Thanks for your help.

I plead complete ignorance of any and all Indian languages, and CS3 is a distant memory now, so what follows may or may not be helpful:
Make sure you have checked Show Asian Text Options in Photoshop preferences:

But I suspect this is likely one of those things for which you will always have to use a full computer rather than a iPad.

Korean Language Fonts?

I recently composed a notice in Word2007, used Acrobat 9 to convert to PDF and posted the file on my webpage. This is not the first time I have done this, but this time about 5 of my visitors have emailed me to complain that they get a notification that "Korean language fonts need to be installed for this document to display properly", or words to that effect. When I check from my desk (Win 7/Firefox 3) I see no notice. From my son's laptop (Win XP/Firefox 3), I get the notice, accompanied by a "Download Now" button. Visitors using Safari and Int Explorer get the notice but no download option, just a blank file.
This is a new quirk - where is the need for Korean fonts coming from? The document is in English. How do I make this document accessible for all visitors? The "Document > Properties" windows shows nothing about non-English or other unusual fonts.

I just realized that all the fonts listed are ANSI-encoded, except ArielUnicodeMS, which is encoded as "KSCms-UHC-H" whatever the heck that is. Might this appear to Acrobat as a foreign font?

Using a foreign language with the Java I/O, and saving to flat file.

I want to use a foreign language in my program, in particular, russian. I want to be able to input the russian text into a GUI and then save the data in a flat file as well as retrieve it again. I am able to save some type of data to the flat file but it is unreadable. Question marks or some other unreadable characters appear instead.
I am also not able to write in a foreign font. Can someone give me some advice for how to input a foreign language into with a GUI, save the information in a flat file, and retrieve it again.

If you have got a String in Java somehow regardless of interior encoding mode, you can write it in a text file with an encoding you would like (e.g., UTF8).
//import java.io.*;
String str = "ABCEDFG";
try{
   BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("out.txt"),"UTF8"));
   bw.write(str);
   bw.close();
}catch(IOException ioe){
    //process
}

Can I Delete Foreign Languages

Hi....Found this info.
1) Choose any application which 'has to slim'
2) Option-Drag the application to any location you like (in order to create a backup copy of the application in case anything goes wrong)
3) Control-Click on that program's icon
4) Select 'Show Package Content'
5) Go to Contents -> Resources
6) Remove '.lproj' folders related to languages you don't speak (e.g. 'Dutch.lproj' or 'Japanese.lproj' folders)
You are done. Now double click the application: in case it doesn't run, you can restore the application from the location where you saved it before (step 2).
