HT2435 How do I see fonts in a keyboard layout

How do I see fonts in a keyboard layout so I know which key to use to print a non-letter character, like in Wingdings,for example.

To add to Tom's excellent info. PopChar in its current form is unusable. At least if you're using non Unicode fonts, it is. You cannot in any way make it show you glyphs in a font that do not have Unicode values assigned to them, and that includes many Unicode fonts! As an example, here's Adobe's Caslon Pro Italic from Font Folio 11. It's a Unicode, OpenType font:
Note the large gap of glyphs with no Unicode value assigned to them between 02C7 and 00A4. None of those will ever appear in PopChar under any setting, so you would have no idea these swash, ligature, dingbat and other glyphs even exist. Ultra Character Map will show all of them.
This is just one of many, many Unicode fonts which contain glyphs without a Unicode value assigned to them.
I doubt you'll see a return to a Keyboard Viewer that will show the glyphs of a chosen font, so you'll have to rely on an app like Ultra Character Map, or (ugh!) Font Book so you can see all glyphs in one font.
Using the Character Viewer isn't a great choice. Yes, you can choose Dingbats to see all dingbats, but that's a concatenation of all dingbat glyphs. As I recall, it doesn't even tell you what font a dingbat is in when you select it. So if you have a half dozen or more such fonts open, you need to have all of them available all the time in order to be sure the one you chose is used in the document. Which means you also have to send every possible font that may include a dingbat you used to the printer to make sure they have it.

  • How can I see all the assigned keyboard shortcuts, including those from my installed add-ons?

    I was looking at an add-on screenshot and noticed the invocation of an option is through Ctrl-Shift-H, however it's Ctrl-Shift-K on my system. The add-on has no options (it's the Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus) so I can't set that keyboard shortcut. So I am curious as to all the keyboard shortcuts on my system, including which one has Ctrl-Shift-H.

    Im sorry to revive this, but i didnt want to create another topic for this.
    Anyway, is there a working version of keyconfig for FF4? Firefox 4 is almost released yet this addon isnt working and its a 'key feature' thats missing.

  • How can I Change the On Screen Keyboard Layout?

    Hi everybody...
    I've searched on the support and I didn't find anything on that.
    I Don't know if it's something on the initial Start of my Palm TX, i don't remember!
    Right now my on-screen keyboard have a AZERTY layout, the french on... I've setted the language in french, but I want to have the QWERTY layout like US and Canadian.
    How can i do that??? with a hard reset to restart the initial setup??
    BTW I don't mind if I must have my device en English, but I want a QWERTY keyboard!!! hehe
    Thanks A LOT!!!!
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Believe you will have to change to English to get qwerty. Alternatively, you might want to take a look at pruss' MyKbd, which you can rearrange to your heart's content.

  • I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
    You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
    The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
    For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

  • How can I see what I'm actually video recording on iPad Air so that I don't include extra stuff at the borders of the image? It seems to automatically "zoom in" on the screen, but when I export the video, the picture isn't framed well.

    When I try to record a video on the Ipad Air, the screen automatically "zooms in" closer than when I'm taking a photo. So I frame the interview and record it. But when I export it to post it or edit it, I discover that only the screen was zoomed in, the camera wasn't, so I have all this extra stuff around the edges of my frame.
    I don't need to zoom in, but I do need to be able to see what I'm shooting--otherwise, as I'm videotaping, I'm guessing at my picture's framing. But every time I switch from photo to video mode, the screen "zooms in." How can I see what I'm actually recording?
    I've been searching for an answer for this for a while, but I can't find any responses to it! Thanks.

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • How to load original fonts in a packaged ID file I was sent

    How to a load fonts into a packaged document another designer sent me; I don't want to use them in my document, but I'd like them in hers. This InDesign CC14. In other words, I have her fonts in her package, but don't know how to get them showing in her document correctly without using them in mine.

    Sorry for the delay in answering. The fonts named as missing are:
    Helvetica Neue  (T1) 107 Extra Black Cond Oblique
    Helvetica Neue  (T1) 27 Ultra Light Condensed
    Helvetica Neue  (T1) 35 Thin
    Helvetica Neue  (T1) 45 Light
    Helvetica Neue  (T1) 65 Medium

    Times (T1)

    I do not see these in the Fonts Folder, or much else I recognize as a font. I didn’t look before because I just assumed when packaged every font would be collected, but maybe they are just not there.

  • How do I embed fonts in TextArea?

    I was going to use a TextField with a UIScrollBar but godaddy disables UIScrollBar so I'm using a TextArea for my output.  So far I'm able to disable text input, load htmlText and use the TextFormat class but I can't figure how to embed a font in it.  Any ideas?
    Here's what I'm using now:
    var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    myFormat.font = "Bitstream Vera Sans";
    myFormat.size = 14;
    myFormat.leading = 2.5;
    externalLoad.load(externalReq);
    externalLoad.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textReady);
    function textReady(event:Event):void {
         bioText.setStyle("textFormat", myFormat);
        bioText.htmlText = event.target.data;

    I created this font symbol: http://www.jimslounge.com/Font1.jpg
    and chenged my code:
    import fl.controls.*;
    var myFont:Font1 = new Font1();
    var externalReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("bio.txt");
    var externalLoad:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    myFormat.font = myFont.Font1;
    myFormat.size = 14;
    myFormat.leading = 2.5;
    bioText.setStyle("textFormat", myFormat);
    bioText.setStyle("embedFont", true);
    //    bioText.textField.embedFonts = true;
    bioText.textField.alpha=0.5;
    externalLoad.load(externalReq);
    externalLoad.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textReady);
    function textReady(event:Event):void {
        bioText.htmlText = event.target.data;
    I've tried both the options for embedding you see in the code and in both cases it dosen't even apply the font let alone embed.

  • How to change the font of the text in Control Editor??

    How to change the font of the text in Control Editor??

    Hi,
            you have to create a smartstyle and acces that in So10 transaction.in change mode,menu->FORMAT->CHANGE STYLE.
    here you will get all styles available.
    so first you have to create a style in SE72 and activate it. and then
    goto SO10-> change mode
    menu->FORMAT->CHANGE STYLE.
    now you will see the style you have created. select that.
    now you can see the format.

  • How can I see the size and colour of text in DW Cs5?

    Hi forum, how do you see the size and colour of a piece of text in Dreamweaver Cs5, I have some text in a dreamweaver file which is a size I like and a colour I like and I want to make a CSS rule with these characteristics. How can you see what size and colour a piece of text is?
    Many thanks for any help
    Gareth

    <td height="89" colspan="5" valign="top"><p><font color="#FF0066" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">what is the text size, colour and boldness of this piece of text.</font></p></td>
    Above code is deprecated.  CS5 will not pick up these styles in the CSS styles panel.  Legacy sites are not simple to work with.  They need to be converted to  modern standards.  You do this by stripping the HTML styles from markup  and re-writing styles to CSS.
    <p>This is a normal paragraph</p>
    Put your CSS styles between your document's <head> and </head> tags:
    <style type="text/css">
    p {
    color: #FF0066;
    font-size: small;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    </style>
    Or, create an external stylesheet to which your HTML documents are linked like this:

  • How to adjust the font size of iPad in printing a web page.

    How to adjust the font size of iPad printout of web pages ?

    In HTML Header I put textDid you mean Page Header Text? It wouldn't have done much of anything at all in the HTML Header...
    However, the font doesn't do anything.Yet another universal selector problem: see +{message:id=4184109}+
    How do I overwrite the style sheet? I am wondering if I change the default style sheet, does that also affect the other pages, which is not what I want. In that case you can just include the CSS inline, which will also get round the universal selector issue. You are also recommended to use a semantic HTML element instead of deprecated presentational elements like &lt;center&gt; and &lt;font&gt;. Assuming this text is the primary heading on the page, use &lt;h1&gt;:
    <img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#my_header_logo_white.jpg" alt="" title="Application" />
    <h1 style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">Web Management System</h1>

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me how to install Kannada font in blackberry 10OS??

    Hello,
    Are you merely looking for a font? Or do you want to interact with the device in that language? I cannot quite tell from your words. Nevertheless, refer:
    Article ID: KB33755 Supported languages on BlackBerry 10
    If you do not see your desired language in that KB nor on the device Settings screen, then it's not available.
    Good luck!
