How To Add Glyph to Character Style?

Specifically, i want to add the "math x" as a Character Style. The font is Adobe Janson Pro, and the "glyph" (what we used to call a "character") is present. I could add by hand, but i have a lot of them. In the menus that define the character(s) you want to add, i can't find an option that will add a *specific* character-- in this case the math x. Or an accented character, for that matter (ü?)
Thanks very much.

Okay, I see. I tried one more thing -- since the Symbol character for the math x font is option-y (which is the "yen" symbol in most fonts) I tried having the Nested GREP apply a character style including the Symbol font to all option-Y characters -- but Indesign is too clever for that, and shows an empty box (since there's no Yen symbol in the Symbol font).
I give up. Keep the "Glyphs" palette handy, and once you've entered one math x symbol, it will be on the "recently used glyphs" row, and you can enter them by double-clicking. Or, you can search for space-x-space and replace with space-math x-space where needed.

  • How to add a new character set encoding?

    Hello,
    can anybody please explain to me, how to add a new character set encoding to Mac OS Tiger?
    I have two Mac laptops, a new one with Snow Leopard and an older one with Tiger, and on the old one i cannot use or enable anywhere the "Russian (DOS)" character set encoding, which i need to be able to use some old text files.
    On the Snow Leopard, this encoding is present in the list of available encodings of TextWrangler, but not in TIger.
    If i have understood correctly, this is not a problem of TextWrangler, and the same encodings are available systemwide.
    So, the question is: how to add new encodings to Tiger (or to Mac OS in general)?
    Thanks.

    I think possibly that's in the Get Info window of Finder?
    I don't think either that or the input menu have any effect on available encoding choices. Adding languages to system prefs/international/languages can do that, but once you have added Russian there, I don't know of any way to add an additional Russian encoding (there are quite a number of them).

  • How to add extra options for style of images.   iPad version has far more options than Mac version

    How to add extra options for style of images in pages.   iPad version has far more options than Mac version

    Thank you, you made me go look again and I realised the ones I use on the iPad are under Borders not style and they are on Mac also.  I feel a bit silly but I wouldn't have got there without your prompting.  Do you mean by "create your own"  using the borders and then saving as a style or can you create something that is not in either?
    Thanks again

    Hi:
    let's see.... I created some character styles but i don't know how to delete or edit. Somebody help me please?

    Select the style in the panel, then either double click ther style name, right click and choose Edit Style, or open the panel menu and choose Style Options to edit, or reformat some text using the style to be thway you want it and either right click the style or open the panel menu and choose Redefine style.
    To delete a style you can drag it to the trash icon or use the panel menu. If it's in use you'll be asked to choose a replacement.

  • How do I apply a character style to a sentence that has an '&' in it?

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to apply the Character style 'See Figure' to any mention of of the phrase (See Figure x) which  I've figured out is: \(See Figure \d+\)
    The problem I'm facing is that sometimes I will need to list multiple figure references. It will need to read (See Figure x&y) and in rare cases (See Figure x,y&z)
    NOTE: There are no spaces in the above listed numbers.
    Thank you  for your help.

    That works perfectly, thank you very much.
    Can you break it down for me in English if you have a moment please? I think I'm reading it wrong.

    I had the same problem here and the only solution I found, was to turn of the validation using the setValidationMode member function of ClassGenerator.

  • How to add a new character in code page

    Hi,
    I need to add a new character to existing code page in the upgraded system.
    The character is latin small s with caron (u0161 ).
    The character ID is 000161.
    What is the byte sequence of the same?
    Thanks and Regards

    Use tranaction SCP .
    Under segment , take the character sequence and include your new id value . Byte sequence in my opinion will be confirmed from the client .

  • How to add one more character in selection [JS] [CS2]

    Hi All
    I am wondering the way to add one more character in my selection.
    I have a script which adds the xml Element and parent xml Element in selected text so far so good, but further my expectation is to cut this text with tag and paste it into anchored frame but in selection it won’t add the closing tag of parent tag.
    function add_element(mySel){
    var the_add_tag = the_document.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add ("story", mySel);
    var add_space = mySel.insertionPoints[0].contents = " "
    var new_selec = app.select(mySel.characters[0], SelectionOptions.addTo);
    var my_new_sel = app.selection[0];
    var add_parent_tag = the_document.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add ("sidenote", my_new_sel);
    app.select(mySel.characters[0], SelectionOptions.replaceWith);
    app.select(mySel.characters[1], SelectionOptions.addTo);
    app.selection[0].remove();
           app.select(my_new_sel.characters[0], SelectionOptions.replaceWith);
           app.select(my_new_sel.characters[-1], SelectionOptions.addTo);
    Could anyone suggest me the way to achieve it as I am bit primitive in scripting?
    Many Thanks
    Mac

    Hi Mac,
    Here is working code for CS4. Hope it will work on CS2 too.
    function add_element(mySel){
    var the_add_tag = the_document.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add ("story", mySel);
    var new_selec = app.select(mySel.characters[0], SelectionOptions.addTo);
    var my_new_sel = app.selection[0];
    var add_parent_tag = the_document.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add ("sidenote", my_new_sel);
    app.select(my_new_sel.characters[0], SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);

  • CS5 AI. How to add accented text character in windows

    I am trying to get the accented (acute/forward) characters for a, e, i, o, u. (and their capital versions) in illustrator CS5 (Windows 7). I do not want to use the Glyphs - impractical. Neither do I want to use the windows character box or Alt xxxx codes.
    Accented characters are part of normal text - for all but English speakers
    All my other programs (MS OFfice, CAD etc) allow me to use AltGr key + letter (AltGr = right alt = Ctrl+Alt). This is also the case for Photoshop CS5 but not Illustrator.
    In windows control panel I have changed languages (e.g. English, Spanish) and keyboards (e.g. US-international). No difference. As soon as I press AltGr key, I move into Group Selection mode. I have deleted all Illustrator shortcuts that include Ctrl + Alt - still no use.
    I have tried previous suggestions in this and similar forums
    Is there any simple way to resolve this. I have put up with this since CS1 but I thought it was fixed. Now it seems not - AI is to remain English speaking only (?)

    My normal setup is English UK language with English UK keyboard.
    I am not sure I understand your comment "Accents on a tertiary modifier such as AltGr is rather unusual..." and I am not clear about primary keys and secondary modifiers but from my experience...
    AltGr (or Ctrl + Alt) + vowel will give accented (forward) vowel in any package that I use - for example Microsoft Word, Excel, OneNote, Firefox, Paint Shop Pro, TurboCad etc - and many more. It is a standard in windows and has been for years. Even Photoshop follows it. But not Illustrator.
    In trying to get it to work in Illustrator I have tried every reasonable combination of keyboards (e.g. US-international, Spanish) and  languages (e.g. French, Spanish etc) as well as English
    I'd happily work with any two-key / three - key shortcut I could set up in Illustrator.

    this will work:
    document.write('wer'+'\n'+'sd');
    and this will *probably* work:
    document.write("wer\nsd");
    I just replaced single quotes with double quotes

  • How to create new character styles in Numbers 3.0

    In Numbers 3.0, it is possible to update existing characters styles, but I cannot find how to create a new character style, the + sign in the popup is always inactive when I edit text in a cell. The paragraph style popup has an active +, but it doesn't work for character style.
    Is there any way to create a new character style?

    Guillame,
    You're right about not being able to add styles, and I have not figured out how to modify a predefined character style, other than to Rename or Delete a predefined style. I have added this to my list of things lost.

  • Character Styles Panel not refreshing after adding character styles

    Hello,
    Anyone know how to get Illustrator's Character Styles panel to refresh after programatically adding new styles by calling CreateCharStyle()?
    Currently, the user must save the document and reopen it in order for Illustrator to refresh the character style list within the UI.  This is obviously not ideal.
    You may replicate this issue in the sample code by executing the SnippetRunner Text Styles snippet and then executing the CreateCharacterStyle snippet.  This sample code also successfully adds a new character style but fails to update the Character Styles panel within the UI.
    One side note: The AIATECurrentTextFeaturesSuite has an Invalidate() method.  I tried adding this call but it doesn't seem to have any impact.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    I'm seeing success with the Notification call in CS4 too; thanks. But not in CS5 (Windows). I still need to save the document to refresh the panel. And (in fact, probably due to this fact), while the new Style has appeared, none of the features (such as font size, leading) that I have added using NewCharStyle.SetFeatures(features) show up. Any clues? The code (basically copied from the SnipperRunner project) is identical between CS4 and CS5; I'm just building against the different SDKs.

  • New character style not showing up in TOC style

    I created a new character style called Subchapter....
    Then I went to layout>toc styles.. and hit [new]. Under "Style" my new character style "Subchapter" is not there. Also, under the "Styles in Table of Contents....include paragraph styles.." my new character style "Subchapter" is not in the other styles list.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks.
    Also, forgot to mention, I am in book mode at this point. Maybe I need to add that new character style to each .IDD chapter of the book?

    NEvermind, it was because I was making a character style, not a paragraph style. Now it shows up.
    Thanks anyways.
