I can't type text with special Spanish characters (Captivate 6)

Hi there,
I've just downloaded Adobe Captivate 6 to try it out and found that I can't type some special characters widely used in Spanish language: our accents or tildes (that's the Spanish word for them). That's what I can't type:
Á or á
É or é
Í or í
Ó or ó
Ú or ú
I've checked the fonts on my font manager, but that's not the problem. They're fine.
I've also tried to paste some text with these characters from Firefox and it worked fine. You can see it on the image:
So I guess it must be some annoying bug.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Iñaki

Hi Lilybri,
I still have this problem with the accents in AC and I've just found that problem comes from the double-type characters (like the accents in Spanish).

BTW, I got no answer from Adobe and i'ts been more than 2 months since I registered the bug...
Best regards!

Problem inserting text with special Hungarian characters into MySQL database

When I insert text into my MySQL db the special Hungarian
characters (ő,ű) they change into "?".
When I check the
<cfoutput>#FORM.special_character#</cfoutput> it gives
me the correct text, things go wrong just when writing it into the
db. My hosting provider said the following: "please try to
evidently specify "latin2" charset with "latin2_hungarian_ci"
collation when performing any operations with tables. It is
supported by the server but not used by default." At my former
hosting provider I had no such problem. Anyway how could I do what
my hosting provider has suggested. I read a PHP related article
that said use "SET NAMES latin2". How could I do such thing in
ColdFusion? Any suggestion? Besides I've tried to use UTF8 and
Latin2 character encoding both on my pages and in the db but with
not much success.
I've also read a French language message here in this forum
that suggested to use:
<cfscript>
setEncoding("form", "utf-8");
setEncoding("url", "utf-8");
</cfscript>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
I' ve changed the utf-8 to latin2 and even to iso-8859-2 but
didn't help.
Thanks, Aron

I read that it would be the most straightforward way to do
everything in UTF-8 because it handles well special characters so
I've tried to set up a simple testing environment. Besides I use CF
MX7 and my hosting provider creates the dsn for me so I think the
db driver is JDBC but not sure.
1.) In Dreamweaver I created a page with UTF-8 encoding set
the Unicode Normalization Form to "C" and checked the include
unicode signature (BOM) checkbox. This created a page with the meta
tag: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />. I've checked the HTTP header with an online
utility at delorie.com and it gave me the following info:
HTTP/1.1, Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8, Server:
Microsoft-IIS/6.0
2.) Then I put the following codes into the top of my page
before everything:
<cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding = "utf-8">
<cfset setEncoding("URL", "utf-8")>
<cfset setEncoding("FORM", "utf-8")>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
3.) I wrote some special Hungarian chars
(<p>őű</p>) into the page and they displayed
well all the time.
4.) I've created a simple MySQL db (MySQL Community Edition
5.0.27-community-nt) on my shared hosting server with phpMyAdmin
with default charset of UTF-8 and choosing utf8_hungarian_ci as
default collation. Then I creted a MyISAM table and the collation
was automatically applied to my varchar field into wich I stored
data with special chars. I've checked the properties of the MySQL
server in MySQL-Front prog and found the following settings under
the Variables tab: character_set_client: utf8,
character_set_connection: utf8, character_set_database: latin1,
character_set_results: utf8, character_set_server: latin1,
character_set_system: utf8, collation_connection: utf8_general_ci,
collation_database: latin1_swedish_ci, collation_server:
latin1_swedish_ci.
5.) I wrote a simple insert form into my page and tried it
using both the content of the form field and a hardcoded string
value and even tried to read back the value of the
#FORM.special_char# variable. In each cases the special Hungarian
chars changed to "q" or "p" letters.
Can anybody see something wrong in the above mentioned or
have an idea to test something else?
I am thinking about to try this same page against a db on my
other hosting providers MySQL server.
Here is the to the form:

Reset your phone by holding down the home button with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. Try it again.

Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

You can with third party apps. You just can't use Messages in order to text since it only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion.

If you do not have imessage enabled, can you still text with people that do?

I just updated my iphone 4 to the ios5 software, but disabled imessage because I have heard that it is unreliable. Can I still text with people that do have imessage enabled on their phone?

iMessages are only sent as SMS if iMessage is unavailable and "Send as SMS" is enabled in Settings.
Settings -> Messages > Send as SMS
I do not believe this is enabled as a default setting.

Lion replaces text with 'block A' characters in safari

about 1/4 of the sites i vist now (including my own--in safari) have a 'block A' character where there is html text.
does anyone know how to fix this?
thanks.

There are two articles on MacFixit about this.
Fonts are implicated in both.
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20087102-263/webkit-sandboxing-conflict-cau ses-safari-block-a-font-problem/
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20085570-263/safari-in-os-x-lion-replacing- text-with-block-a-characters/
Clearing caches and booting to Safe Mode has helped the majority of people experiencing this problem; however, for a few people the problem returns after a while, indicating that either Safari itself or the system's font configuration may be actively corrupting the font cache.
.... (example)
- If this happens, then unfortunately the approach would be to systematically disable system fonts using Font Book until the problem goes away, and then remove the specific fonts that are contributing to the problem.

Get Header Text with special characters

Dear Experts,
I have written a program using READ_TEXT FM to get header text from Delivery.
However, one of the fields has a value "K&N".
When I get the header text, it shows "K<(>%<)>N".
How can I get back the normal text? Or do I need to replace the strings manually?
It is stupid.
Thanks.
Regards,
Cato

Hi Cato,
Just go to this thread and solution from Valter.

Can't create text with PHP using imagettftext [SOLVED]

I think that after the upgrade of PHP to the modular one I can't create text using TTF fonts. Before I file a bug report could someone confirm if it works or not for them? I might just have screwed something in my box.
This code should create a text image and display it in the browser (it assumes you have DejaVu fonts in the default directory):
<?php
// Set the content-type
header("Content-type: image/png");
// Create the image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30);
// Create some colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white);
// The text to draw
$text = 'Testing...';
// Replace path by your own font path
$font = '/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf';
// Add some shadow to the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);
// Add the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);
// Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg()
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
Could someone with an up to date php with GD enabled tell me if it works or him/her?
Thanks.
EDIT: Ok, I solved it. The error reporting is turned off by default now, so I was not getting any error. After turning it on I found out it was related to the open_basedir directive being enabled now in php.ini. Turning it off allowed me to access the TTF for drawing text.

Aha! I figured it out. I used File...Open As to open it as a Camera RAW file. In the ACR editor, it was showing as 16-bit depth. Changed it to 8-bit and saved it. Now the Text tool works!

Number of lines in a Field of type Text with Javascript

Hi,
I have a form where I need to dynamically retrieve the number of lines in a Field of type Text.
When I use getField(), I'm returned an object of type Field. I can see such properties as rect, but nothing concerning the number of lines of text in the field.
Any idea (other than getting the Field height and dividing that by the height of a line) ?
Regards,
Karl.

Hi,
You can use below function to calculate the no of lines in the Text field dynamically.
import mx.controls.textClasses.TextRange;
    import flash.text.TextField;
    private function calculateNoOfLines():int
      var tr2:TextRange = new TextRange(_text, true, 0,_text.text.length-1);
      tr2.text = _text.text;
      _text.invalidateSize();
      _text.invalidateDisplayList();
      _text.invalidateProperties();
      var contentTextField:TextField = _text.mx_internal::getTextField();
              var nLines:int = contentTextField.numLines;
              var lineMetrics:TextLineMetrics = _text.getLineMetrics(0);
              // This is to calculate the total text height
              var _textHeight:Number = lineMetrics.height * nLines;
     return nLines;
Call the above function in the KeyUp event of the Text field.
Here in the above field _text is the Text field.
<mx:Text id="_text" />
If this post answers your question or helps, please kindly mark it as such.

3GS can't receive texts with iOS 5?

So a couple of days ago I made the mistake of updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5. I can use everything else like normal, including the phone and I can send texts like normal but can't receive any, which is awful. Actually, I can only receive texts from people with an iPhone with iOS 5 installed. I can't see how or why this would happen. I know there's the new iMessage with the update, so I guess maybe it's not even letting me get texts at all, just messages from my friends through that? Has anyone else encountered this problem? I have no idea what to do. I've reset it multiple times as well as powered it on and off. I haven't restored it but I don't really want to lose all of my texts and whatnot. Plus I don't see why that would make much of a difference anyways. Is there something I can turn off or enable? Pleaseee help, I'm desperate. Thanks!

you aren't receiving text messages because of a recent change in the way ios5 allocates space for the messages app. It used to be that the messages app could store as many messages in memory as you had space, but with ios5, they have drastically reduced this "unlimited" storage amount to a mere 15MB (most likely to keep the messages app from slowing up). Depending on how many MMS messages you've sent/received, this is anywhere between 50k and 75k messages.
Moral of the story is you will have to delete a good amount of your text messages (else restore and setup your device as a new device and not restore from backup). If you're like me and don't really want to part ways with all the memories you have in SMS form on your iphone, you can try a utility called PhoneView for mac, that allows you to see and archive all your text messages to your computer. This is only available for mac but there is a competent PC version called TouchCopy11 that you could use as well. Bad news is none of these are free. If you don't really care about saving your SMS messages from the past, then by all means delete all the ones you don't need and you'll see you're device will begin receiving texts again.
Hope this helps.

Can't Type Text on pdf form

I've been trying to type text on a pdf form, something I've been able to do in the past. However, the document will no longer allow me to type in it to complete the form. What should I do to solve this problem?

Hi Joko,
I'd like to assist!
Do you happen to have the latest Reader update?
It could also be the form you are trying to fill out. Have you tried opening an old form you have had success filling out?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards, Stacy

Send purchase order via email (external send) with special Czech characters

Hi all,
I am sending a purchase order created with ME21N via email to the vendor using "external send".
The mail is delivered without any problems, PO is attached to the mail as PDF file.
Problem is that special Czech characters as "ž" or "u0161" are not displayed, a "#" (hash) appears instead.
This problem occurs when language for PO output = EN.
Tests with language = CS worked out fine, but the whole form incl. all texts are in Czech as well; so no valid solution since it needs to be in English.
We checked SAPCONNECT configuration and raised note 665947; this is working properly.
When displaying the PO (ME23N) special characters are shown correctly as well.
Could you please let me know how to proceed with that issue?!
Thanks.
Florian

Hi!
No, it's not a Unicode system.
It is maintained as:
Tar. Lang. Lang. Output Format Dev. type
Format
PDF EN English PDF1
Using this option, character "ž" was not displayed correctly, but "Ú" was ok.
All other Czech special characters are not tested so far.
Thanks,
Florian
