How to get character viewer to show a specific font

Previously you could specify a font to see it's characters and glyphs. Now I don't see how to do that. What am I missing? or has that gone the way of font specification in the keyboard viewer too?

Yes, this feature has been omitted from Lion Character Viewer.  You might try PopChar.  And you can ask Apple to put it back here:

  • How to get Character Viewer to stay visible (esp. in Word for Mac)?

    I'm asking this on behalf of a friend who has a 2013 13-inch (non-retina) MackBook Pro and uses it with an Apple Cinema Display. Since the upgrade to Mavericks the behaviour of the Character Viewer has changed, where it no longer 'sticks' (stays both active and on top) as a visible window when you switch applications: now it needs to be called up from within each application, and will be visible when working with that app.
    He needs the Character Viewer open all the time and this change is inconvenient (he draws special characters from it constantly). But the main problem is that he mostly works in MS Word for Mac and as far as I can tell Microsoft have not updated Word to respect the behaviour Mavericks intends for Character Viewer: to stay visible while working. Instead, the Character Viewer window randomly closes. So, while hoping for an update from MS (but not holding breath since they provide their own inferior version of a glyph viewer in Word)) I have two questions:
    1. Can anyone suggest a way, perhaps using Applescript or Automator (which I don't know how to use), to make the Character Viewer always stay open and visible while using any application? This would be the preferable solution, in effect restoring the behaviour seen before Mavericks.
    Or
    2. Can someone give us some guidance on how to make a custom keyboard shortcut in Word for Mac that we could assign to bring up the (OSX) Character Viewer, since the usual system shortcut for that (control-command-space) is not respected in Word. Or alternatively, an Applescript or Automator solution for this that would be available from within Word?
    Thanks!

    Did you try:
    ->System Preferences->Keyboard and check [ ] Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar
    It closes when I switch desktops with spaces or open another App, but it displays when I go back to the Word window

  • How to get the view Object in UserDefined Action

    Hi  All,
       Any body tell me how to get the view object , like the view object avilable in the wdDoModifyView() method as parameter.
    I have requirement like, i want to change the , no of rows displaying in the table should be changed at the runtime based onthe no of rows  selected in the dropdown box.
    The action which i created will be assigned to that dropdown box, on select of the available option, i will get the view object and change the properties of the "maxrows" of the table .
    so for getting the view object in the  the Action methods tell me what is the procedure for getting the current view object.

    Hello Vishal,
    Simply create a value attribute (say rowCount) of type 'integer' and bind it to the 'visibleRowCount' property of your table. Then, in the actionHandler get the value from the UI element (in your case, I guess it is drop down) and set it to the attribute 'rowCount' like this.
    wdContext.currentContextElement.setRowCount(
        wdContext.current<nodeElement>.set<AttributeBound toDropDown>);

    how to get i cloud to show phone numbers and not emails

    In the contacts app the information is as you have entered it.  You can include the added information you want for the contacts.  Open a contact and tap edit and add the information you want there and then tap done.  It soulds to me like Facebook friends who have email addresses only have been merged into your contacts

  • How do I get character viewer to display the names of the radicals in Japanese, as they were until Lion

    In Leopard, Character Viewer displayed the names of the radicals of Japanese characters in Japanese.
    Now I have Lion, the radicals all have English names which are totally different and impossible to search phonetically. I can't find a way to choose the language of the Character Viewer. Do I have to set the whole iMac to use Japanese as its basic language? That would be a pain for everything else.
    Thanks for looking.

    If you put Japanese at the top of the Langauge tab list, but do not logout/login, then only newly opened apps will appear in Japanese.  That way you can get only Character Viewer in Japanese.   Maybe this will also work
    http://www.tj-hd.co.uk/en-gb/languageswitcher/
    Another approach would be to open the Character Viewer app and modify its .lproj folders.
    If you still have a copy of Leopard, you may be able to transplant its Character Viewer app to Lion and use it as an independent app.

  • Time Machine only shows Finder, I can't see how to get a view of yesterdays Outlook

    HI have a MacbookPro 2.53GHz INtel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM 1067MHz DDR3 and am running Office for Mac 2011.
    There is a Time MAchine installed and it backs up automatically. In the past I have been able to retrieve emails or documents from Time Machine with no problem. HOwever yesterday I accidentally deleted an email and its not even showing in trash. I wanted to go onto Time Machine and look for it but when I enter it only gives me the Finder window and I can't see how to make it show me Outlook. Does anyone know how to get into the application I want?

    This is harder than it looks.. you will need to restore the library.
    Do a search.. here is first post I found.
    Where is the outlook pst file on OSX?
    You actually need to recover the files and then see if you can reload it.. but it is likely to mess up your current file.. so you might find this is really messy.

  • How to get the View for a particular Document position?

    Hi there,
    Does anyone know how to get the "deepest" View that is responsible for rendering a particular Document offset?
    I tried looking at modelToView() and some other methods, but I am lost.
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thanks,

    Bart--
    To find the table cell of the insertion point, you could use something like:
    InterfacePtr<ITextStoryThread> storythreadp(txtModel->QueryStoryThread(startPos + 1));
    InterfacePtr<ICellContent> cellcontentp(storythreadp, UseDefaultIID());
    if (! cellcontentp) {
      // Not a table cell, so see if it's the primary thread (kTextStoryBoss/ITextModel).
      InterfacePtr<ITextModel> threadmodelp(storythreadp, UseDefaultIID());
      if (threadmodelp) {
        // It's the primary thread...
      else {
        // It's something else with an ITextStoryThread (note, footnote, etc.).
    else {
      // The insertion point's in a table cell (kTextCellContentBoss).
      InterfacePtr<ITableModel> tableModel(cellcontentp->GetTableModel(), UseDefaultIID());
      GridID gridID(cellcontentp->GetGridID());
      GridAddress gridLoc(cellcontentp->GetGridAddress());
      // ...and so on.
    Hope this helps get you where you want to go.

  • How to get standard view or table for the standard inforsource

    Hi all:
          According to business reqirement, we are going to use standard inforsource 0CO_OM_CCA_10,
    we need to know the standard view or table in order to corresponding DataSource?
    could you please tell me how to get  the standard view or table or DataSource?
    Couldn't thank you more!

    Hi Sony,
    Goto RSA1>BI content installation>goto objects>double click on the Infosource>then a pop-up comes search for that infosource-->select it and click on transfer
    Before that in the right side of the tab select the grouping as "Before and afterwards of the dataflow" and collection as automatic.
    then you get all the datasource/cubes and all the object related to the infosource.
    OR another option is-->
    Goto RSA6 in the R/3 and search for the datasource with the name "0CO_OM_CCA_10" (don't forget to expand all the tree structure in RSA6)
    then goto that datasource and double click on the datasource then you will get the Extract structure of that datasource.
    double click on the extract structure then you may get the View name also.
    hope this helps...
    Regards,

  • Don't know how to get album covers to show

    I just got a 30gb iPod and want to know how to get the album covers to show when i play the song that the album relates to. I read something about using iPhoto but I have a PC. Can someone please tell me how to do this?

    I have the albums on the songs in itunes
    You put the album cover on the song file in iTunes?
    the album pics are in the photos section of my ipod
    This does nothing for displaying the cover on the iPod while it's playing.
    i also checked to display album artwork from itunes
    Uncheck it and then recheck it .
    Are you using Manual or Auto update?

  • Java3D - how to get the viewing frustum coordinates

    Hi all!
    I am so desperate to find out how to retrieve the viewing frustum (truncated pyramid) coordinates (xyz) in Java3D.
    Please let me know. I checked the API docs but no luck.
    I am sure there must be some way (or method) of extracting these (xyz) coodrinates from this frustum.
    Thanks!

    firstly I humbly admit I am not that familiar with openGL so I dont know what those functions are doing ..but still I might be missing what is it you are looking for...u saying "to get xyz" coordinates of truncated pyramid ... u need 8 points (depending on the way you wanna calculate it)to create viewing frustum so which one u looking for? ....btw there is a viewing frustum method to get points but unfortunately due to j3d setup by the time u get them using that method 2 frames will go by .... so
    View view = viewer.getView();
    double point1 = view.getBackClipDistance() * SOME_CONSTANT;
    double point2 = view.getFrontClipDistance();
    double point3 = view.getFieldOfView();
    double point4 = (double) view.getCanvas3D(0).getWidth() /
    (double) view.getCanvas3D(0).getHeight();
    double point5 = Math.tan(point3 / SOME_CONSTANT) * point2;
    double point6 = point5 / point4;
    double point7 = (point5 / point1) * point1;
    double point8 = point7 / point4;
    now just just normals and u can setup up your 6 planes of the view frustum ...

  • How to get the view link definition from the view link accessor

    Hi,
    I am using Jdev 10.1.3 and ADF BC. I am trying to do deep copy in a master/details view, after the new child record is created, I want to update the foreign key attribute. I know I can get the list of attribute definitions from the row in the view object, which include the view link accessors, I am wondering if I can get the view link definition from the view link accessors, so that I can get the source and destination attribute names.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    you should get this through
    ViewObject vo = this.findViewObject("LocationsView1");
    int indx = vo.getAttributeIndexOf("DepartmentsView");
    ViewAttributeDefImpl vAttrDefImpl = (ViewAttributeDefImpl) vo.getAttributeDef(indx);
    ViewLinkDefImpl vdefImpl = (ViewLinkDefImpl) vAttrDefImpl.findViewLinkDefImpl();
    Note that this code starts from the ApplicationModuleImpl class, which is why I used this.findViewObject().

  • How to get the view tree from a jsp page

    Hi,
    I would like to get the view tree of a jsp page. The idea is to dynamically include the content of one or more jsf pages into a UIPanel during a "value changed" event.
    So, i could get from an arbitrary page like ...
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"   prefix="f" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"   prefix="h" %>
    <h:panelGrid columns="3" width="100%" rowClasses="gridTop">
        <h:outputText value="#{someBean.someValue}"/>
    </h:panelGrid>... the corresponding List of components...
    Any idea?

    Thanks for your answer Jayashri,
    The view tree can be retrieved by this way during the page is parsed, for example with scriptlets <%%>, or once the page has been parsed (the view has been builded and attached to the FacesContext).
    My problem is to get the view tree of a page from another Context.
    The idea is to build a dynamic layout of some pages that represents "views". I can imagine this like the concept of perspectives and views of Eclipse IDE.
    Because of the difficulty to build it with pure JSP (cannot use dynamic ID nor JSTL ForEach), I try to build it into my backing bean and to bind it with a <h:panelGrid/>. By this way, I'm not able to use the <jsp:include/> tag as I usually did to include some content into the view tree.
    Sorry for my english ;)
