Georgian Font Automatically Converting to English Characters

We recently downloaded a Russian and Georgian font and attempted to use them in Adobe Illustrator CS3 on Mac OS X 10.5. When we use the fonts they automatically convert to English characters.
How do we get the fonts to appear in Georgian characters?
We also tested the fonts on a Windows computer using Fireworks 8 and the fonts appear fine. So perhaps its just a setting issue in Illustrator.
Thanks for any info.

Two things I believe you have to do n a mac on is to go to the system preferences and chose International and enable the language you want in the input tab then I think in this case you can go to the type panel and have the options show and then at the bottom choose the language I assume Russian. Not certain the second part is necessary.
Make certain of course you first select the georgian font you have installed before inputting.
I hope this helps.

HT202835 Event addresses automatically converting to English

How do I prevent the Calendar app from automatically changing event addresses from one language to another? I travel frequently between countries and want addresses kept in their original language rather than converted to English.

Converting non-English characters to their unicode representation

I have series of files/templates where each contains a locale specific language such as Chinese, Japanese or German. I need to find out how do I get their unicode representations so I can send as html formatted email?
I can already send one for the English template as html formatted email w/out a problem. I was able to find a sample of unicode representation of Japanese and send that as a test. But how do I get the temaplates that I have and convert their contents into unicode?
Thanks in advance.
please dis-regard. I figured it out.

You need to know what character encoding was used for the template text.
For example, you could have Japanese text encoded using UTF-8 or
encoded using ISO-2022-JP and the same Japanese characters would
be represented as a different sequence of bytes. Without knowing which
charset was used, you won't be able to convert the byte sequence back
into Unicode characters (e.g., to store in a Java String).
If you do know which charset was used, java.io.Reader will convert the
byte stream into Unicode characters.
If the charset information is not available, there are heuristics that you
can use to try to guess the correct charset, but by their nature they're
going to be wrong sometimes.

My english text keeps converting to Asian characters in any search box or URL!

Every time I type something in any search engine text box, such as Yahoo, or any time I try to type a URL address, the characters will automatically convert to Asian characters as soon as I hit the space bar. This is really aggravating. I need to turn off all Asian characters and I don't know how it got turned on.

Hello Ryan.
I suggest you disable ALL plugins (not extensions, plugins), restart firefox, enable them again, and restart Firefox again. I hear some plugins (namely Real Player plugin or something like that) may cause this kind of problem.
If that doesn't help, please say so and we'll look at it in detail.

Problem in converting Spool to PDF file, having non-English characters

Hi All,
I have problem in converting Spool to PDF format.
Scenario : I have a spool which has non-English characters. I am using CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF FM to perform conversion. But my output is having junk values( ie # ) for non-English characters. Any pointers to solve this issue will be appreciated.
I even tried with report RSTXPDFT4 , it also gives me the same junk characters.

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't continue in Hebrew. I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste. Does anyone know how to fix this? I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1. I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.

Just clarifying:
Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.

btw Tell Apple, they are amazingly slow to fix this running sore which has been broken since RtoL was supposedly introduced in OSX 10.2.3 over a decade ago.

Problem in print out with English characters (THANGSAN font)

Save Our Environment. Save Yourself.
Hi Experts!!
I have created a smartform and print program which should actually print some Thai characters and English characters too. I created a smartstyle and have some 10 paragraph formats and are all have THANGSAN font. So, I am printing all the thai and english characters in THANGSAN font only.
When print preview is seen, the output is very fine, but when being printed, the thai characters are appearing fine but the english characters' font is being changed to somehting else (courier or arial). Why is this happening so? Because of this, all the output is being merged and looking very weird.
The smartform is created in EN and is translated to all languages. All user has logged on to SAP in EN language.
Can somebody please help me out with whether the problem is with THANGSAN or the printer?
P.S. The smartform is actually similar to the standard script Z_RVINVOICE01 in which only THANGSAN is used.

"Allow pages to choose their own fonts, and not my selection above" only shows squares with numbers in them for all english characters

When ever I select this option firefox only shows characters that appear when you do not have foreign fonts installed, except for English. The characters are squares with numbers in them at the bottom of the character.

Try to set the Boolean pref gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false on the about:config page.

Is there a list of the characters that are automatically converted to emoji?

Well, it says it in the title:
Is there a list of the characters that are automatically converted to emoji?
Or a way to see the characters corresponding a specific emoji?
Thanks!

Hi,
iChat, at least to iChat 6 had this set of Smileys
They had variations of each set of keystrokes (namely whether the dash for the nose was needed)
They were controlled by a .plist that listed all of them. (I cannot remember if it was inside the App package or in the IMAgent.app package)
However this .plist no longer exists in the current app.
Where they match the ones for posting here:-
they will have the same keystrokes.
Obviously some don't match.

Font Book is showing fonts in non-english characters

Been installing my old fonts and the like to Font Book on Mountain Lion but I seem to be running into a small issue as I install.
Besides the fact that I'm getting the 'A-image' for some of the fonts, a fair few of the fonts themselves also seem to be showing up in what looks to be some sort of alternate language?
I uploaded a few examples here as well to help explain the problem I'm running into.
This is actually a fairly new computer, only a few days old, so there's hasn't been a lot that I've done that I could assume would be doing this.
Any help or suggestions would be great, thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!

The first and third fonts are showing their Hebrew characters as a sample, the second one is showing its Thai characters. The 4th one is showing a character from the Apple Last Resort Font, which indicates a problem accessing the proper character.
I don't know why Fontbook does this, but I haven't seen any reports so far that it affects the usability of the fonts in question in any way. Does it for you?

Newly purchased Gujarati font doesn't show Hindi characters, only English.

I bought Gujarati and Devangari. Devangari works great in my InDesign CS6; Gujarati shows copy in English characters, not Hindi. I am using a Macintosh. The top part of the image is the Devangari type.

Disregard. The text I import has to be in unicode in order for Gujarati to work.

Non english characters in DN cannot be retrieved

We are using Netscape directory server 4, protocal V3. We have a problem related to non-english characters appearing in RDN.
We publish to Ldap entries using the values from database. For example, we have pubulished an entry to Ldap, based on DB values, the entry should have a DN like: ou=Liege BELGIUM ... LGG1a, <other components of DN>. However, when we call netscape search API (search against uid attribute which does not have non-english characters), the search return the entry, but when further call getDN() method on the returned Ldap Entry, it only returns Li, instead of the complete DN value.
It seems the entry is corrupted in Ldap. I wanted to delete the corrupted entry and re create new one to test. I tried many ways, but none of them worked, I think it is because DN is corrupted, there is no key value to identify the Ldap entry for any operation(modify, delete).
You help and insights are much appreciated.
Thanks.
Han Shen

LDAP uses the UTF8 encoding. You must store data in the directory using the UTF8 encoding. This includes DN values. This also means that if you want to be able to view the values in your native character set and font, you must use an application that can convert the UTF8 LDAP data back to the native character encoding. The directory console by default should work for LATIN-1 (ISO 8859) languages if the LOCALE is set correctly.

Print report in Thai and English Characters

Hi ,
I able to enter Thai characters from front end but at backend(database) it looks like this '¿¿¿' .someone has any idea why is it so?
Also, I am using some logic to print amount in words in oracle report builder 6i.Our client requirement is to print these amount in words in Thai Characters..Please share your thoughts!
Thanks,
Neha

Don't worry about backend. Change your report builder field as specified font. Report builder automatically converts these special charactors into to actual font you specified. Then you can take output from your report builder.

Only VBA does not recognize non-English characters

Hello guys,
I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 bought in the USA and I'm having a difficulties with Excel VBA (Office 365 University-64x bought in the Czech Republic - Central Europe). The VBA does not recognize non-English characters (particularly "ř" and
"ů") which causes me problem when running some codes that I wrote earlier on my previous laptop (Windows 7, bought in the Czech Republic with the same Office).
The problem with non-English characters has occurred only in VBA so far, otherwise I can use these characters normally in Excel cells, Word... I tried to install both English and Czech version of the Office with no change, I also installed Czech proofreading
tools and set everything to Czech in the Office. The location and language preferences in the Windows are also set up to Czech. And it is not a problem of a font. I also mentioned that when I tried to look up these characters, using Ctrl+F, it changes
original ř to r after a search and again this is only an issue of the VBA.
Thank you very much for any help.
Tom

Hi Tom,
VBA for Excel can only recognize ASCII code from 0 to 255, if you use other special characters like "ř" or "ů", it will returns 63(?) to you. To use this kind of characters, you have to utilize ChrW function to parse a decemal to the
character.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177465.aspx
for example, the hex code and dec code for these two characters are as below:
Hex   Dec
ř 159   345
ů 016F 367
So to get these two characters in VBA, you could code as below:
ChrW(&H159) or ChrW(345)
ChrW(&H16F) or ChrW(367)
You can get the hex code of the character by searching in the system character map(in the Win8.1 start view, search "character map"), then convert the hex code to decimal code by yourself.
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(&H159) & ChrW(&H16F)
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(345) & ChrW(367)
