Illustrator CS6 is not displaying unicode characters properly.

I need to access certain unicode characters (namely the x/8 fractions). I have the appropriate font installed, and the characters display in every other program on the machine, but they are not displaying correctly in Illustrator. If I type the characters in using alt codes, the 3/8 character displays as "\", the 1/8 character displays as "[", etc. Is there some setting I need to change to enable support for Unicode characters?
*UPDATE*
If I type the character in another program, copy it, and paste it into Illustrator, it shows up as a box with an X through it. If I highlight the box and change the font to one that supports the character, then the character does display correctly. This is, however, quite inconvenient. Is there a way to type the character directly into Illustrator?

  • [SOLVED] Conky Not Displaying Unicode Characters Correctly

    I have some music that requires unicode characters in order to be displayed properly. The artist name is Röyksopp, but it is displayed like this:
    http://i.imgur.com/rRBDxZn.png
    Does anyone know how to either make it display correctly (Röyksopp), or at least remove the umlauts to make it almost correct(Royksopp)? I've set the locale, so it displays correctly in both i3bar and urxvt, but it had no effect on conky.
    EDIT: Here is my conkyrc.

    I know that this font works because I tried it in urxvt and it displayed correctly.
    Also, I tried "override_utf8_locale yes" and it still was incorrect.

  • Report layout in french not displaying french characters properly

    Hello,
    I have a report layout that I have created with a 3rd party tool (j4ldesigner). All it has on it is one label (displaying a couple of french characters as a test
    ). Within APEX I have created a test report layout and imported it as a named column report layout type. I then created a very simple report query and associated it with the test layout. When I run the test report, the layout launches but the characters éâ appear as éâ.
    So I'm thinking this has to do with language somehow. I have other reports which are generic named column reports, but those are manually entered and seem to work fine. The named column layout is imported, and I'm assuming some sort of conversion is happening where those special french language characters are concerned.
    The fact is this is a 11.2.0.3 database. I was assuming the language set would use the standard language librariy files which come with 11G (ie $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data) so I wouldn't have an issue. Since it is not working, do I need to use the language files associated with 9idata? Or is there an init.ora parameter I am missing?

    Hello,
    Within APEX I have created a test report layout and imported it as a named column report layout type.Make sure the Report Layout File is in UTF-8 encoding. Most of the times, the issue is with file encoding type.
    If you use text editors like [url http://notepad-plus-plus.org]notepad++ you can see and convert from one encoding to other.

  • AE CS6:  Could not convert Unicode characters (23 :: 46)

    I am sudenlty getting this error message.
    I was importing a native XDCAM file into AE Win 7 when the error message first appeared.  Subsequent to that, merely clicking on the import button (no file selected) gives the same error message.
    It seemed to "clear" by dragging an AVI file across from Bridge.  Using the same technique, I was then able to drag across the orignal XDCAM file. However, the error message reoccurs when I try to save the project.  It will not allow it.
    I then opened a completed, tried and tested project - and it now gives the error message when I try to "saved as".  However, it will perform an "increment and save" without dirplaying the message.
    I looked up the Adobe help - about replacing files from language folders etc, but that hasn't done the trick.  It suggested (CS3, CS4) that whatever the language txt file is in the AMT Language folder, is the one that AE was installed with.  However, EVERY lanuage txt file resides in there!  Perhaps it has changed for CS6.  I made the assumption that I would have used en_GB.txt.  Based on that assumption, I carried out the recommended procedure.  No change!
    My motherboard was replaced yesterday - and I had to ask Adobe for another activation - as I didn't realise that MB replacement constituted an additional computer! Hence I didn't think to deactivate the Suite beforehand.  Could this cause the issue?
    All suggestions greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    That really sounds like you have a problem with your SATA controller. If it came with a specific driver, install it. Otherwise really do verify the BIOS settings before it's eating all your data due to failed I/O operations. Also use a tool like Sysinternals System Monitor or even Win 7's own Resource Monitor to keep an eye on file operations. Something is afoot there. And really do run that fcheck/ checkdisk. As a last thing, look into your system restore settings. It's quite possible that Windows is restoring some weird stuff that may interfere with your new configuration. The same of course would be true if there is some security tool doing odd things...

  • Dynamic Text Field is not displaying foreign characters... HELP!

    I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
    Here's what I've tried.
    Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly? What am I missing? Please help...

    More info: I'm noticing that in the actual dynamic text field in my .FLA file, if I type a foreign character like é, it pops up as a block. My family font is set to New Caledonia... is it possible that New Caledonia doesn't have those particular glyphs? The thing that doesn't make sense to me though is, last year when I made this card, it worked fine with New Caledonia... Any help is greatly appreciated!!

  • After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23::46) CS6

    Hello I just created a project in AE CC and wanted to save also a version for CS6.
    All went ok but when I tried to open the project in CS6 I received the following error:
    "After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23::46)"
    Does anyone know what that means and how to fix it?

    After Effects CC is much, much better at handling characters that are outside of the character set used by the OS at its current language settings. So, file names and paths (and other strings) that work fine in After Effects CC and later may fail with earlier versions.
    For example, if you are running your OS and applications in English and have Chinese characters in your file names, After Effects CS6 and earlier will fail, but After Effects CC and earlier will succeed.

  • FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

    Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
    I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
    I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
    A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
    B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
    If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
    Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

    We are all just incompetent users here.  As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
    I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

  • Chinese Data Fields not displaying Chinese Characters

    Hi There,
    Wonder if someone can help. We are currently running reports in Crystal 8.5 but are in the process of upgrading our business systems to latest version and this includes converting all our Crystal 8.5 reports to Crystal Reports XI R2 SP4.
    During the process we are experiencing some difficulties in displaying Chinese characters, which have previously worked fine in version 8.5. The system we are running Crystal from has Oracle client 11 installed and the OS system locale is set to Chinese PRC. Our application is displaying Chinese characters properly and if we have any text fields on the report, these are also displaying properly when changing Font to Arial Unicode MS. The only thing that doesn't display properly is the field data which after checking has the correct Chinese data stored in the database. For some reason Crystal 11.5 doesn't seem to be transferring the data correctly which points to some sort of encoding problem.
    Is there something I am missing here or is there something else I need to install for this to work?
    Any hep would be appreciated.

    What is your Oracle database's language set? Is it set to UTF-8 or non UTF-8 (such as American_America.WE8ISO8859P1" )?
    There is a similar issue tracked under ID ADAPT00528561 (Crystal cannot display non-UTF-8 Chinese characters from an Oracle database ) and has been fixed and you should set the following registry key to make it effective:
    Set the following registry key "UseOSLocaleForConversion" to "Yes" under:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Database\Oracle

  • After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)

    Hello,
    I'm getting the following error message:
    After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)
    I have yet to find an answer that works to resolve this problem. I'm using CS6 on an HP Z220 on Windows 7.
    Thanks in advance.

    So I solved the problem. A little history for this situation: I created a new AE project and while attempting to import a file received the error message:  After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters. (23 :: 46)
    I then tried to import a Vanishing Point which broken the spell on the error message and allowed the menu to select a vanishing point to appear. I closed out of that and was then able to import files.

  • Illustrator CS6 is not listed in the Programs panel.

    Hi, my Illustrator CS6 is not listed in the Programs panel in the Extensions Manager. How do I restore it?
    A bit of history:
    I had been using ScriptBay with Illustrator CS6 before, without problems. After my someone came and resolve some of my computer's network permissions issues, I discovered that ScriptBay panel has stopped working normally.
    However, the script still works fine in Indesign CS6
    I tried deleting some preferences, but scriptBay refused to work in Illustrator. Then, I copied a colleague's Illustrator CS6 to test on my machine (without deleting my copy). And now, my extension manager does not list Illustrator ib the panels.
    Can anyone help with these 2 issues? I wanted the ScriptBay to work so badly!!
    Thanks!
