How do I type in code for special characters within a font?

Hi, I'm using the font Aloisan New and am trying to access a character which is listed as having the number 146 associated with it. Someone told me I need to press alt-0146 to make the character I need appear, but when I do, it only produces those same numbers and doesn't seem to accept them as a single code. Can someone please guide me key by key as to what I should press and in combination with what? It would be much appreciated. Thanks

Someone told me I need
to press alt-0146 to make the character
That's garbage.
That's an extreme response. Alt-0146 It isn't garbage, that's how it works on most computers (Windows). In most cases that would have been a perfectly legitimate answer. Including on a Mac booted into Windows via Boot Camp or through virtualization. It is also perfectly understandable how they would have given such advice.
It is simpler on the Mac, though, using the Option key and the Character palette.

    'custom' font sounds like you may be working with a font that is unsupported on iOS/iPad.
    Supported fonts are found in the pull-down font menu in the toolbar. Authors are obligated (mostly) to stick to that list.

  • Keystroke combinations needed for special characters in specific fonts?

    How do you see the required keystrokes to enter special characters? Very frustrating!!! Using Pages to help my wife create a brochure. We wanted to use one of the symbols available in the font "Type Embellishments One LET" (which I assume installed with Pages). In Font Book we could see all the possible characters BUT NOT HOW TO TYPE THEM. We ended up typing scores of keys and keystroke combinations to finally see the one we wanted, then use cut and paste. There must be a better way but we (along with some Mac Support people at my work) cannot find it.
    Is there a way to do this without buying a program like PopChar. Seems like this should be fundamental to using a Mac out of the box.
    Thank you for any suggestions.

    You can use "Keyboard Viewer" to see what characters are created with various keystrokes. Open the International Preference Pane, click on the Input Menu tab & click the box next to Keyboard Viewer. This will make this available in your menu bar by clicking the flag icon. Select "Show Keyboard Viewer" from the flag menu & you will see a layout of the keyboard. You can then hold down the shift key, the option key OR shift + option to see all the possibilities. The highlighted ones are the accents than you can apply to letters. To get "é" type option-e (nothing will appear), then type e. This accent could be place over most letters. You can change the font in the drop-down menu. Not all fonts will have all characters. Keyboard Viewer places the typing directly into the top, open document.

  • How do I generate redemption code for creative cloud?

    how do I generate redemption code for creative cloud?

    On October 27th 2014, you have purchased two CC (one complete &one photography) under the same Adobe ID. That is the reason you are being asked for a code because under one Adobe ID only one CC can be activated(twice).
    Please contact Adobe Support or you can inbox me privately the CC order number  that you would like to cancel.
    You can also check if the host file has Adobe entry or not as if Adobe entries are there then also CC can ask for serial number. You can check the host by the followinh method.
    Creative cloud do not need a serial number. it will be using your Adobe ID on which you have purchased the creative cloud membership.
    So you need to login with your Adobe ID and password to activate the cloud membership.
    Log out & log back in of the CC Desktop App.
    In case it is not signing in successfully please try the following:

       3. Check if you have any entry for Adobe
       4. Remove the entries and try again launching any product from CC
      Mac:
       1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
       2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
       3. Remove the entries and save the file

    I have an attribute 'Material category description'  and I chose short text exists and made it language dependent. I had loaded the master data successfully.
    Now I want to know how to check the 'language code' for this material category description. When I display the data, will the language code display by defalult?

    I went to RSD1 -> info-object -> Master Data/text tab. It shows my language selections there (Short text selected, language time dependent etc.) with everything grayed out.
    In SE16, I could display the data in the following format.
    /BIC/ST_PRID                TXTSH                 TXTMD

    Go to transaction SE93, enter a transaction code that you want and click on "create". Enter a text and select the "Transaction with Parameters" button. In the Default Values section, enter START_REPORT in the transaction field. Check the "skip initial screen" box. In the Name of Screen field section enter the following lines:
    Name of screen field:                               Value
    D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE                RW
    D_SREPOVARI-REPORT                        ZPCA
    Save and transport accordingly.
