In Font Book OS 10.8.5 how do you insert a character with Font like you could in 10.6

In OS 10.6 I could go >edit>special characters: view glyph, glyph Catalog, Font: <font name> and I would see a table of each character in a font. Then, I could select a character and either drag it to my document or click Insert Font in the lower right hand corner and it would put the character into the document.
How do I do the same thing in OS 10.8.5? How do I insert a character into a document through fontbook or any other manner?

You need to use another app for this, like Ultra Character Map or Popchar.
This should only be necessary if you are using a non-standard font, which may not be a good idea (since there is no guarantee your glyph will be seen by anyone else).  If the character exists in Unicode, you should be able to find it in Character Viewer and input via double-click or drag/drop.
If you provide examples of what you need to input, I can perhaps tell you how to find them.

    How do I insert a section with another time signature than the one im inser

    Yeah I've been trying to figure this out as well, for example... my song might be 90 bpm and I want to program another track using midi but have it play at 180 bpm. The only way I've found to work around this is to write my 180 bpm part make a sample of this and then loop this into the 90 bpm song.

  • Script to insert a character with a given font

    Hello,
    I must be silly but I have searched the web for hours and could not find a solution to my "simple" problem:
    I  would like a script to do this:
    1. set font (eg MT Extra)
    2. insert a character based on unicode (eg F080)
    3.revert font to previous font
    This vould allow me to insert any character of any font and then continue typing my text with the regular font.
    Thank you for our help

    For something basic like this you should check out the documentation that comes with ESTK, under the Help menu. "Adobe Intro to Scripting" is a good place to start.
    Anyway, assuming you've got your text cursor blinking in some text, try this:
    myIP = app.selection[0];
    myIP.contents = "\uf080";
    myIP.appliedFont = "MT Extra";

  • How do I rapidly try different fonts like I could in CS3?

    When working with text in a design, a common activity is testing different fonts to see which looks best. This was a very simple in CS3 with its Text Editor dialog:
    Right-click on text block, choose Editor...
    Click on font drop-down and start hitting the down arrow
    Every time you hit the down arrow, the text would update in-place, making it a cinch to find just the right font.
    When CS4 was in beta, this functionality seemed to be lost. I brought it up in the beta forums but never received a reply. Now with CS5, I was hoping this rapid previewing would be possible, but I'm just not seeing it.
    Can this rapid testing of fonts be done in CS5 or am I stuck with CS3 forever?

    I feel the same way. There are so many things I like about how FW CS3 works that have been taken away or replaced with inferior alternatives in later versions that it makes me angry. I fully understand the developers want to standardize the product line and make them integrate better, but if usability suffers then it's counter-productive.
    I skipped CS4 because it was too crashy. I tried CS5 and unintalled it after just a few days, finding it largely unusable. I don't think CS6 is any better on that front. I LOATHE this tabbed interface.
    I continue to write bug reports on CS6 about lost functionality, even though I know I'm talking to a brick wall. :-(

    Is it possible to install j2se 1.4 on the same machine
    that is running weblogic with j2ee 1.3 ? Yes.
    If it is.... How do we do it ?Just install it in different directory - the installer will do this for you by default anyway.
    How do we protect our code running in the j2ee 1.3 container from
    mistakenly using the classes provided with j2se 1.4 ?Thats what PATH and CLASSPATH environment variables are for. Read the tutorials on the left there for more information.
    Do we end up with 2 separate VMs one a implementing
    j2ee 1.3 and one a j2se 1.4 ?You end up with as many as you run.
    Every time you run java (java.exe on windows, just plain java on UNIX) you run the version of the VM that's on your PATH.
    It's quite normal to have (on the same machine) a 1.3 VM running Weblogic and a number of 1.4 VM's as clients of that Weblogic installation.
    I think I'm right in saying that 1.4 VM's are (in some cases) regarded by BEA as supported clients of a Weblogic server running in a 1.3 VM, but you'd have to check their e-docs site for exact details.

  • How do I insert an image with my signature but without URL?

    Although there are several Firefox users in my unit with the same version of Zimbra, some have an "insert image" but mine and some others have only "insert image URL" in the signature area. the people with the insert image icon have no problems adding a company logo but I cannot.
    Thanks for any help.

    Is that Comcast web-mail with Zimbra?
    If so, are you using HTML format or Text format when composing emails?

    I do not want to use mail chimp, copy & paste, or take a screenshot.  Since I have updated my programs I am no longer able to do this and that seems pretty backwards to me.

    What happens if your recipients' email clients do not display images by default? Will your message still get across?
    http://www.emaillabs.com/tools/email-marketing-statistics.html#blockedimages
    Hopefully, you have no more than 100 recipients to your email marketing as AOL imposes a limit.
    The comparison between messages you send and those you have received should be clearly made. Were those messages that you received sent from AOL? Were they sent with the same AOL mail client? Do they use images attached to the message or called from a web server?

  • How do you add a dingbat to character viewer in order to select it?

    I understand that being unicode pages cannot use ITC Zaph dingbats from the keyboard that i need to use the special characters. very awkward! but how do i insert a character from zaph dignbat into special characters?
    thank you

    If I open Font Book, and choose named font, I can see a list of symbols, e.g.
    If I open Character Viewer, and switch to Pictographs, I can see something like this
    so I assume that named font includes chars in the category Pictographs, which you can use at ease, I hope.
    If you need them frequently, you may create your custom keyboard layout, if you wish this, come back with what you wish.
    Screenshots are in Lion, but the procedure is the same, I hope.

  • When typing an iMessage from a Mac or other non iPhone device how do you get a subject field?

    From the iPhone there is now an option to add a subject field to your iMessages.  This can be nice but what about doing it from the MAC or other device.  Also how do you insert a line break (which I'm told is alt/option enter) from an iPhone.  Sorry two questions in one.

    Hi,
    The Messages app on the Mac has no means of indicating a "title" or subject matter.
    It only sends messages be they iMessages to Contacts or IM (instant Messages) to Buddies on various services that you could join.
    Re 1) The AIM service added the ability to use the "/me" lead in/pre-emptive text which adds the little grey center info text to AIM chats as my pics show.
    In other services that do not support "/me" you see a sentence that starts "/me".
    On the iPhone as an  iMessages item it appears like this
    They appear as Sent items due to the Sync process.
    Re 2)  No.
    I am just suggesting using a feature that works in the Messages (and the previous iChat) App using an AIM Account in Messages (as it appears to work at your end all the time in any account) so that you can create something that can be used as a "subject" marker.
    re 3) Yes.
    The original premise was you sent something like "/me waves" which appears like the time stamps as "Your Name waves"  (Your Name on the other depends on what they have in their Address Book or Contacts app as your details (you could appear as just a Buddy ID of some sort.)
    Enlarging part of that earlier pic.
    The so called Subject one.
    Grammatically it could do with a 'has".
    Re 4.
    AOL (who Own AOL Instant Messenger)  gave out AIM names with AOL accounts  and with accounts with other companies that they owned.
    At one time they owned Netscape  Mostly Netscape referred to a Browser that was popular on the Mac at the time.  It had a Messenger part added to what it could do and registration gave you an AIM ID (Screen Name)
    This tended to be the Username part of your your account name which was an email.
    We are talking when there were computers sold by Apple that could boot into OS 9 as easily as they did into OS 10.2.
    iChat 2 that did the first Video chats was in OS X 10.3
    At that point iChat was an AIM only client.  This continued until iChat 3 which added Jabber (and that version required a small amount of work to add a GoogleTalk ID)
    Basically when I bought the G4 Tower listed below I already had an AIM name by preferring to use Netscape over Internet Explorer.
    At various points I have tried ProteusX  (the Original Site seems to have gone now).
    I have also tried AdiumX
    Both these were and are text only multiple service apps.
    I have used Psi  This is a Jabber only app.  It is a bit "windowsy" as it is a cross platform app written in Java (means you have to download and Install Java and keep it updated)
    I got it for doing this http://allforces.com/2005/05/06/ichat-to-msn-through-jabber/
    These instructions need you to be able to "register" for Transport on Jabber servers which then allows you to link to your MSN or other service account to in turn add those Buddies to your Jabber Buddy List.
    I have tended to Stick with using my AIM name as my main form in iChat and Messages because it has the Privacy and Security settings that allow you to Block people, or have Allow Specific people or Allow Buddy List only people as ways of restricting who can see when you are on Line.
    AIM also works with Apple IDs ending with @mac.com and iCloud linked @me.com and @icloud.com  (Lapsed @me.com from MobileMe will not work)
    You have to keep the password to 16 characters or less to work with the AIM servers.
    There is also MeBeam  which has been known as Koowy  (coo-we) for a while and currently seems to promote itself as "CuSeeMe.tv"
    It as a site you will need Flash for.
    It then, when you allow it, has access to your Camera and Microphone and you can video to people in "rooms" (private URL) you create.
    I have tried Skype in it's early days.
    It shares your connection to the internet to make lots of connections to maintain a non centralised service.
    This makes it vunerable to "Man-in-the-Middle" attacks becasue at time you are the man in the middle.
    Each download used to list it's own Specified port to use but if you didn't set it it used port 80 (web Browsing or port 110 (mostly mail) to connect.  Some see this as defeating your firewall or router as it is not made clear in the set up.
    I have Office 2004, and 2008 and whatever the last one for Macs was called. (2011 I see on the box)
    This has MSN Messenger which I have tried but don't like  (Microsoft do some great Apple apps in the Office collection but MSN is not one of the).
    Yahoo has been in some variant of Beta 3 for almost as long as the OS has been OS X  (it is certainly about 8 years).
    It never seems to get to a first GM release.
    This can do "video" but broadcasts this to anyone and the Audio is then to one Buddy.
    Basically iChat was the app I used first and an AIM name I already had.
    Over the years I have created several Apple ID (some during a time when @mac.com name could be registered as "iChat Names"  after the .Mac service had finished).
    AIM have always been there.
    Google has been there some of the way.
    (Other jabber servers can come and go)
    I do have my Yahoo account set up in Messages but it basically was as a test and I rarely use it  (it is only text and does not  do Video in the iChat 6 or Messages apps).
    I am not a great phone user so iMessaging people is limited for me.
    (I know about 2 people who I could iMessage outside of my family).

  • Will iTunes 10 & iTunes 11 work together? If not, how do I combine 2 libraries with the same account?

    My 2005 iMac (which can't be updated to Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion and so is stuck with iTunes 10) has thousands of my songs, over 80GB of music mostly from CDs and other uploads/downloads.  In 2008 we got an iMac for the family room; somehow although we have the same iTunes account for that computer, we started fresh with no tracks, and built up its own library for family use.  Now we've bought two iPhones which aren't recognized by the '08 iTunes/Mac OS, so I want to upgrade the '08 iMac (the only one I can) and I have the Snow Leopard software to do so.
    But I'm concerned that once the two computers have different versions of iTunes, I will lose the ability to home-share the music library from the '05 iMac on the '08 iMac, and because of that I won't be able to store any of my older Mac's tracks on the iCloud or access them on my iPhone.  (Of course I don't want to have to pay for 80GB+ on the cloud!)
    Has anyone got two versions of iTunes on two computers with the same account and are you able to home-share together and access tracks on your iPhones from an older version?
    What do Apple users recommend?  I'm thinking my best bet might be to combine the two libraries, which as I said are on the same account, but I don't know how to go about doing this.  How much time would it take with 80GB?  (I could probably do without 15% or 20% of those tracks, but it's still a lot, I don't know if it's instantaneous or if it uploads each track one at a time, I can imagine that taking two days.)
    The older Mac's tracks, the 80GB, are the ones I really want, it took years to collect and upload all that, finding photos for some of the more esoteric albums/songs, etc.  The newer Mac only has 2.5GB in its iTunes and I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing if I had to reload those, if the 80GB library had to wipe out the 2.5GB one.
    Thanks so much to anyone who can help me!  If I can start this tonight and have it run overnight (if necessary) that'd be great, otherwise I'm hoping I can get this done Sunday.  By the way, technologically, I have the '05 iMac hooked up to a 1st Gen Time Capsule and the '08 iMac getting WiFi from that.

    Thank you for replying.  Both of the accounts are Admin accounts.  The Libraries are kept in the user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on each account.  However, I do use multiple iTunes Libraries on my Account1.  One of the Libraries I use in Account1 is on a separate internal HD.  However, the other Libraries I use in Account1 are stored in user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on the main HD (which hosts both Account1 and Account2).  It doesn't seem to matter whether I am using an iTunes Library on an external drive or the main drive in Account1, I still get the same problem: only account1 library will load.  AppleTV sees that the Account2 Library is there, but it won't load it.
