How to view font characters?

I have forgotten what I knew once. How do I view individual characters in a font?
Character Viewer does not show all the characters in my fonts.   Specifically I am looking for the ligature for "ffl" in Times.
For comparison, years ago I found a particular character for a similar ligature: ChrW(64258).   That was long enough ago that I do not now remember how I found that character.
How do I find my way back to wherever I found ChrW(64258)?   TIA

Well, now the problem has come back.   One of my MS Word macros got corrupted somehow, and I need to reconstruct it.   If I understand the process correctly, I need a character number in the form "ChrW(64xxx)."
I open Character Viewer and view my fonts in "Glyph." I selected the individual character that I want, but Character Viewer does not identify that character with a number in that form. Instead it gives me a Unicode number and some other numbers that I do not recognize.
I tried to insert the Unicode number into my macro.   Word, though, does not accept that code in the macro.
Is there a way now of getting a "ChrW" number out of Character Viewer?

How to embed fonts / characters

Hi,
Can someone help me learn how to embed fonts?
I'm using flash 8.
Thanks!!!!

"do i need to do this for both static and dynamic text?"
Not for static text.
"i don't see an embed option - i went to library - new font -
and then there is an option to click ok???"
After you select the New Font option, find the font you want
to embed in the dropdown, then hit ok. click your text field once,
and in the properties panel, select the font that you just
embedded.. *Refer to my previous post to tell the difference of an
embedded font and non-embedded font.

How to view UTF8 data

I have written a java application to store the UTF8 data into the database. When I use the browser to insert the data and view the data, it's ok.
However, after I used the browser to insert the data, I cannot view the UTF8 data using SQLPLUS, although I have set the NLS_LANG in the registry to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
(rubbish code came out)
Do anyone know how to view the UTF8 data (not using browser)?

This is because to view Unicode you need to be using a Unicode enabled application. Internet Browser is Unicode enabled.
SQL*Plus is what we call an Ansi code page program. It can only support the native character set of your operating system. For example, when running on standard English MS Windows, the character set is WE8MSWIN1252. So SQL*PLUS running on English Windows will only display the 251 characters defined by this character set.
I believe on certain UNIX platforms (say Solaris) you can change the OS character set to UTF8, in that case SQL*Plus on that platform will be able to interpret and display all the UTF8 characters, assuming that you have the Unicode font installed.
Oracle Forms is a Unicode enable application, by setting NLS_LANG character set to UTF8, it should be able to display your UTF8 data.
Two other options for you, however both requiring internet browser supoprt.
1. Use iSQL*Plus , this is the broswer based version of SQL*Plus, it supports UTF8. This is the one I recommend.
2. If you just need to view your data, you can set your client NLS_LANG character set to UTF8; Launch SQL*Plus and SPOOL out the output into a text file. Open the text file in a browser but make sure the browser encoding is set to UTF8.
BTW, there is a separate Globalization Support and NLS discussion forum on OTN for NLS related issues.

How to change font size on screen

how to change font size on screen

I'm not certain what font sizes you wish to change, when on a page you can use command and the += button to zoom in and make the fonts larger. On the finder desktop you can make what ever is on the desktop larger or smaller from the finder menu click view, custom view options, and adjust the icon size with the slider on the top, and the text using the text size box to select the size that your comfortable with.
Forgot to add these.

How to show Greek characters in Italic style

How to show Greek characters in Italic style
Hi all, I'm tryng to resolve a problem with the Greek characters
I need to display labels in two languages, english or greek inside my report.
At the beginning of the report I have a placeholder with the xml code : *<?param@begin:p_language?>*, so I can understand inside my report if the user chose the Greek or English, and then I have many placeholders (labels) which have to be written in Greek or English.
If the language chosen is English, I don't have any problem to show my labels bold or italic in every fonts
Inside the placeholder I wrote the following code:
*<?xdofx:if $p_language = 'Ελληνικά' then 'Οργανισμός' else if $p_language = 'Αγγλικά' then 'Organization' end if?>*
I can chose font, style and bold/not bold directly from Word and when I run the report in pdf I see exactly what I chose.
If the language chosen is Greek....I see always the label in Arial, NOT BOLD and NOT ITALIC...
In order to see Greek characters BOLD:
a) I added (under the ADMIN tab/Runtime Configuration/Font Mappings/ ) a font named Arial and I addeda target Font named Arialbd.ttf under the directory: D:\Oracle\Oracle_Homes\BIP_101341\jdk\jre\lib\fonts
b) I changed the font (from word) to Arial
Now, ONLY with tha ARIAL font I can see my labels in greek bold, but I can't still see them in italic style.....
So, I tried to force these condition inside the placeholder with the following code:
*<?if:$p_language = 'Ελληνικά'?><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font">Times New Roman</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font-style">Italic</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="color">red</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>Οργανισμός<?end if?>*
...but I continue to see the labels in Greek only bold, red but not in Italic Style......
Also adding another font called Arialbi.ttf (Arial bold Italic)...I can't see my labels in Greek bold with Italic Style....
Anybody had the same problem with another alphabet different from the latin one ???
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

How to display special characters in APEX Classic Report column

Ref: Thread: How to display newline characters as new lines
Version: APEX 3.2
Hi,
I have created an classic SQL Report with one of the columns being a decode that gives a value 'Post'(the value should be highlighted in Red) on one condition and 'Pre' on another. I have followed the advice given in the page (URL provided above) , i.e. I have changed Strip HTML to 'No', changed Display as to 'Display as text (escape special characters, does not save state)'. I have also passed this value back to the same page to be stored in a page item each time a link (another column in report) in report is clicked. I have tried passing it as #DEADLINE# and \#DEADLINE#\. The issue I face is, instead of the value being highlighted in Red, it gets passed back as a string holding the value 'Post'. Is there any way I can get this to display as it should without the Strip HTML being changed to 'Yes'.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I am trying to display a page item that is derived from a report column based on a click on the URL link (*view >*>)
This page item (here, it is Manager_ID) should ideally be highlighted when a particular condition is satisfied (achieved using a DECODE in the report).
But it is not displayed like it should be.
I do not want the value to be displayed along with the html tags as a string.
I want the html tags to take effect and highlight the value within it.
Initially, I had set Strip HTML to Yes and the value was returned without any highlighting .
So I changed it to 'No' and and it contained the html tags.
I am not sure what setting in APEX Report Attributes can help me achieve that effect I want.None of the report settings are relevant. They affect the rendering of the report and none of the columns you were changing the properties of were actually rendered.
You can't pass HTML and CSS around in URL parameters.
I suggest you pass *2* values in the column link: the MGR ID and a simple class or colour value computed by the DECODE in the report. I've suppressed the first version of the report and created a new one that does this:
decode(dept.deptno, '30', 'c00', '000') highlight The link column now passes the MGR ID and the HIGHLIGHT colour (red when the condition is satisfied and black when it is not).
I created another hidden and protected page item <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> as the target for the highlight value, and used the Pre/Post Element Text properties of the <tt>P0_G_MGR</tt> to wrap it in a <tt>span</tt> whose colour is changed using the <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> value as a subtitution string:
<span style="color: #&P0_HIGHLIGHT.;">Having done that, I still don't really get the requirement here. I'm sure that given the full picture I'd be using a completely different approach...

Oracle Report, How to Display Polish Characters in a PDF Output

Environment :
Oracle Application Server version 10.1.2.0.2 on Red Hat 4 Enterprise (Kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3 , 32 bit) Oracle Database Version 10.2.0.3.0 Our character set of database is UTF8
I have trouble to display polish characters in Reports Output. We develop on Windows XP machines. I can see the Polish Caharacters in the Reports Builder using several fonts (arial, arial unicode, Times new roman, verdana...) during design time or when running with the paper layout. But when the report deployed to application server running on the linux, the polish characters are replaced by symbols.
Even under Windows, when I select 'generate to a PDF' file option, the characters are not displayed correctly (When I open the generated PDF file with Acrobat reader and go to Document Properties / Fonts, I see the Fonts are always replaced with Adobe Sans MM)
Using the Forms Applications running on the same application server we have no trouble dealing/displaying with the characters (Ąą ĆćĘę Ł ł ŃńÓóŚ ś Ź ź Ż ż ß Đ đ € )
NLS_LANG setting is AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 on the Linux Box and AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1250 is on the Development machines. (have tried a number of different NLS_LANG settings on the development box as well with no luck).
Any direction would be appreciated.

Hi,
You have several different approaches to fix this problem. First of all, you would be able to generate the PDF output with Font Subsetting setup and be able to see the Polish characters correctly when running the output with destype=cache&desformat=pdf. The following metalink documents would guide you with this setup :
Note.207711.1 "How to Use Font Subsetting in Reports 9i and 10g for PDF Output"
As at design time you use many different Windows specific fonts, I also advice you to check the following document :
Note.356221.1 "A Practical Methodology on Porting Reports from Windows to Unix with Different Fonts"
Once the PDF output is generated properly with correct characters, then if you need to use "destype=printer" for direct print, rather than "destype=cache" to display the output in browser, then you can use the "PDFPrint" pluggable destination, which is located in :

in your contacts settings, turn OFF all contact accounts (SIM, BBM ETC) then afterwards you should be able to just see your local contacts.

Problem viewing Japanese characters in Excel sent via Email attachment

Hi All
I am using FM '''SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'' to send out an e-mail attachment (Excel file). I am able to receive the Excel file successfully. However I am not able to display the Japanese characters properly in my Excel file.
I tried to display some Japanese characters in my e-mail contents and I have no problem viewing these characters in my e-mail (I am using MS Outlook 2003). These statements becomes something illegible when I transfer it over to Excel as an attachment. In my Internal Table, these characters are displayed correctly as well.
Anyone has any advice to solve this issue?
Thanks for your replies.

How to display unicode characters

hi
How could we save, display, write or read Unicode characters.

Thanks a lot. I fully understand what you have said.
My test is running under Traditional Chinese "Big5" Windows XP system.
Chinese "Big5" font can display on a Console window. I can even input Chinese into the console window.
Or, in another word, I can TYPE a text file which contains "Big5" Chinese characters and show from the Console window. I assume this will prove that the Console window do know how to handle Chinese characters.
Now, my test is trying to CONVERT a Unicode string into a Chinese character string expecting the resulting Chinese string can be output into the Console window and let the XP Console window to handle the Chinese character display.
My main concerned question is "How can I CONVERT a Unicode string into a Big5 Chinese character string?"
String tstr = new String("\u39321\u28207","big5");
It seems this statement is INCORRECT, isn't it?
