Internal unicode fallback font?

I really tried to figure this one out by myself, but…
Firefox displays exceptional unicode characters in a specific, seemingly internal font. Here’s an example, both glyphs are taken from unicode block “Miscellaneous Symbols”:
☠ (SKULL AND CROSSBONES, 9760)
☃ (SNOWMAN, 9731)
Go ahead and open this page in another browser, perhaps a pre-installed Internet Explorer. This is a rendering taken from my machines: http://i48.tinypic.com/e0ipes_th.png
I tried out all my fonts (some of them really, really unicode-supporting) with these glyphs and others, and none of them were an exact match. It doesn't matter what font-family is set in CSS. Firefox overrides the missing glyphs. You can’t inspect the calculated font-family when omitting it.
I didn't find anything when searching, since this is not a problem like “Firefox not rendering unicode font correctly”, but the opposite.
What’s the solution? What’s the name of this mystical font and where do I find it?

I never thought of a simple addon, extending the page information. With a process of elimination, I figured out it was Segoe UI Symbol. Thank you very much!

Arial Unicode MS font not viewable in Adobe Reader 9

I have created a form in Acrobat Acrobat X Pro which has some labels in Arial Unicode MS font and when i view the form in Reader 9, I'm not able to view the labels. I have Arial Unicode MS font installed on my machine. What could be the problem?
Robin

The use of the Arial Unicode font may seem a simple way to get things done, but in fact this needs enormous care and testing. It will need at least some of the far eastern language packs installed, probably Korean.
For example, the font will need to be installed on each computer where the form is to be filled. This is not a free font, you cannot even buy it, but it comes with Microsoft Office. So only people who have purchased Office will have the font.
I would recommend using a Punjabi font. This should be a properly encoded Unicode font, one which works only on copies of Windows with Punjabi support NOT a "trick" font to work on Western Windows. Even so, Acrobat's support for languages outside western and the "big four" far eastern languages (Chinese x 2, Korean, Japanese) might not be sufficient.

Font Mapping issue with Arial Unicode MS font

Hi All,
I was able to do font mapping for Arial Unicode MS font (.ttf) in BIP version 10.1.3.4.
But after applying the patch 10256764 I am not able to see the Arial Unicode MS font in the Font Selection drop down box in BIP .
I have copied some other .ttf fonts to the .\ jre\lib\fonts folder and they are appearing in the BIP
Does BIP patch 10256764 not support Arial Unicode MS font ?
Please help me...

Arial Unicode MS font doesn't appear in PhotoShop CS5 for MAC

Hello, I'm having a problem with Arial Unicode MS font in MAC. The other apps such as TextEdit, Pixelmator... can see the font but not PhotoShop CS5 and the other apps in the CS5 suite (Flash, Illustrator...)
Does anyone have the same problem with me? Could you help me to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Chinh Do

Check the entire font menu, all the way to the bottom. The font may not be in the alphabetical order you expect, but towards the end of the list, among the Asian fonts or so.

Unicode Khmer font display problems in FrameMaker 10?

How do I get Khmer OS or any unicode Khmer font to display properly in FrameMaker 10?
I am working with cambodian files in FrameMaker 10.
This is what it looks like in Word (this is how it should look)
This is how the same texk looks in FrameMaker 10...
The font is NiDA Chenla and I was able to fix this is ID CS5.5 by turning on the World-Composer.
Is there something similar in FrameMaker 10.

Hi CTSRisk,
Probably spread and stretch option in Character designer might get if fixed for as i dont know the language,i am assuming the language is ok and the only problem is the spacing between them.
If yes,kindly goto character designer and change the spacing between them.
I apologize for the late response,however sometimes its not possible to answer on the forums quickly for us.
Let me know in case i understood the question wrong.

Unicode compatible fonts...

Hi,
I am working on an ugrade project.Is there any method by which we can identify that these forms will going to be defective in ECC 6.0,while doing an upgrade from 4.6 c to ecc 6.0.I am talking specifically about forms ,regarding print programs i am aware.
Is there any information regarding non unicode compatible fonts or can we compare fonts in 4.6c with ECC 6.0 ,something like that...
Thanks in advance,
Ajitabh Aggarwal

Courier, times, times new roman are compatible on both uni-code and on non unicode sytems.. there is no way to find only we can check it by printing... this will not show any affer while printing text but it shows when printing list of amounts you may see the alignment varies...
All Cyrillics fonts are unicode compatablility...

Wrapping but truncating in WEBI with Arial Unicode MS font(Bold only)

hi,
My Webi XI R3 report should support Localization.
So we chose 'Arial Unicode MS' as standard font which can support single-byte as well as multi-byte languages.
In webi report, Column headers are BOLD where as column values are REGULAR.
We selected the options 1) Autofit height 2) Wrap Text for all Column headers and values.
When we change the browser locale to other languages like French and Japanese, Column values appear fine(Wrapping without truncation) as they are Regular. But Column Headers(BOLD) are wrapping with edge characters being truncated. (Observed in Infoview, IE8 browser)
When we make column headers to REGULAR, issue won't occur. But it's mandatory for us to keep column headers BOLD.
How to preserve the column headers[without truncation of border character] keeping them Arial Unicode MS BOLD?
Also, there is an inconsistency behavior for japanese as well as french locales.
Thanks,
Vamsee

Conversion from Unicode to Font

Greetings everyone,
Does anyone have any idea how I can convert a Devnagari Unicode (UTF-8) document into a normal ASCII text (with devanagari fonts) document to edit with word and use with non-unicode software?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Vibhu
Message was edited by: bullet350

It has been awhile since I was trying to find a page layout program that supported Devanagari. About six months ago I found iCalumus. It didn't support editing or input, but if you had a text file you could paste it in place.
I contacted the developer and he said they would be adding input/editing support. I just downloaded the latest version and it seems that they have done so!
I haven't done any extensive testing to see if all the conjuncts work properly. Quick testing seems to suggest it is a bit buggy, but fairly good – at least on screen. I haven't tried printing anything at all.

Regarding non-unicode compatible fonts...

Hi Gurus,
Is there any way by which we can check whether the particular font is unicode compatible or not?Not necessarily in SAP,if i can find it out by anyother utility then also do let me know...

Infinality fontconfig fallback fonts

I'm brand new to linux and have been muddling through setting up my system for the last few days. I'm using termite which to my knowledge as a VTE-based terminal should support fontconfig. The font I'm using in termite is Phallus' Lemon font. Now while I was configuring ncmpcpp I wanted to use a glyph that I saw in some configs that looks like ░ for the progressbar. However this glyph isn't in the lemon font and so displays as a filled-in-box instead. I then found another font called Tewi which has a simliar looking glyph. When I changed my termite font to Tewi and use the glyph I would like, it shows up fine.
Is it possible however to use Lemon as the font and if there is a glyph that isn't supported to have it use the Tewi glyph instead? Like a sort of fallback. Use x font, but if glyph y isn't in font x then use font z for that glyph only. I think this sort of thing is possible using fontconfig? However I'm unsure of how to set up the appropriate rules for this to say, for bitmap fonts I want to use Lemon first, then Tewi.
I did try to read the fontconfig wiki about this issue but I couldn't understand it very well. I'm not sure where to make these type of changes, if they're even possible, while using Infinality.
Thanks for any help!

AFAIK you'd have to edit the Lemon font - fontconfig can't swap fonts for individual characters.

Khmer unicode script (font) support

Hello All,
I hope this is the right place to post this such question.
I found that Photoshop CS5 still does not support cambodian (khmer) unicode writting script. It does not display well the subconsonent.
Any of you know if it exists the patch to resolve this kind of problem ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The Middle East version of Photoshop is the one that handles Khmer.
From this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2480913
Use the Adobe Middle Eastern Version CS2,CS3,CS4, or coming CS5. It is support all Indic unicode version. The distributor of this version is Winsoft International (http://www.winsoft-international.com/). Download the trial and check it out.It allows you to edit and work in one or several of the following languages at the same time: Arabic, Azeri, Bengali, Farsi, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Kannada, Kazakh, Khmer/Cambodian, Lao, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Thai, Urdu, Vietnamese

Unicode/glyph/font advice needed for porting WinForms app to Macintosh using AIR

I've written an application in WinForms/.NET that I'd like to port to the Macintosh platform. I have never developed for the Mac but it seems as though AIR might be a good choice. I'm totally new to AIR. Some advice and info would be much appreciated!
Can an app be developed in AIR on a PC running Windows and then later be deployed transparently on a Macintosh? Or do I need to be developing on a Mac?
The app is a search interface for use against text-bases comprised of texts composed in ancient European languages. I pre-index the text-base and store it in SQLite as a fully-normalized (1NF) set of relations: TITLES, WORDS, WORDOCCURRENCES. So the app is really nothing more than a (query-only) database application with some specialized glyph-rendering requirements.
In the WinForms app, I used a custom third-party edit control with extensive support for the RTF specification, in combination with some third-party fonts that contain the necessary glyphs for rendering the Unicode characters corresponding to RUNES and to some abbreviations found in medieval manuscripts. BTW, these special non-ASCII characters are represented in the database not as unicode codepoints but as entities that can be represented in standard ASCII (e.g. "þ" ); when rendered to screen, the correct glyph has to be substituted when the Unicode codepoint for the entity supplied -- in this example the codepoint would be [U+00DE] and a thorn glyph ( Þ) should be rendered.
Since it might not be possible to find a single omnibus Unicode font that contains a glyph for every codepoint I need to render (what are the most glyph-rich freeware Unicode fonts for Macintosh, btw?) the text widget must let the programmer "wrap" a Unicode character or series of Unicode characters in whatever font may be required at that point in the text. Is there a rich-text widget for AIR that can do this? A widget that can render HTML and supports CSS stylesheets would be ideal (inline-CSS-only would be OK too). If the widget had CSS stylesheet support, the string of Unicode codepoints could be wrapped with a <span class='rune'>.....</span> and the font-name for the .rune class could be specified in the CSS stylesheet.
Thanks very much if you've taken the time to read through this tedious stuff !

Flash Professional started as an animation tool and was expanded with a programming language that became ActionScript (now ActionScript 3.0). Content creators began using Flash to develop applications rather than just animation, so a lot of developer-centric and application-centric functionality was added to Flash, including pre-built user interface components (written in ActionScript). All that functionality and those components are still available in Flash Pro today. However, many developers who came from a traditional programming background had trouble getting into Flash Pro because it is really an animation design tool -- so it uses a timeline, layers, visual drawing canvas, and it required some figuring out to learn how to structure an application in that type of tool.
In response to this, Macromedia (now Adobe of course) created Flex. Flex uses ActionScript just like Flash Pro. Flex also includes numerous user interface controls, written in ActionScript. Flex also adds advanced, flexible layout control and many utilities for common programming tasks like loading data from or sending data to a server, formatting values, validating user input, and more. With Flex, you can define your user interface using an XML markup language (MXML); the compiler then turns the MXML into ActionScript code before turning it into your compiled application. As far as tooling, an eclipse-based IDE called Flex Builder was created that gives you a code editor, a workable but not designer-oriented design view, and other developer tools like debugging and profiling. (Note that Flex Builder has been renamed to Flash Builder for the next release, which is currently in public beta.)
So to generalize, Flash Pro favors a more visual design and animation type of working style, whereas Flex favors a more text-based, code-centric working style. (But that's just a generalization -- many people, especially people who "grew up" with Flash before Flex, still prefer Flash Pro even though they're heavy coders.)
Also, if you want to write everything in code with no pre-drawn visuals (i.e. Flash Pro) and without using MXML or Flex components, you can create your application entirely in ActionScript code. Flex Builder supports ActionScript-only projects for that purpose.
Here are a few links for getting started with Flex, which I would personally recommend if you haven't used either one and you're building something that's more "application" focused rather than media or animation focused:
Flex "Quick Starts" -- short articles focused on specific tasks in Flex
Flex "Getting Started Experience" -- designed as a set of training courses, intended to take 12+ hours to complete (but you can skip around of course)
"Flex in a week" video training -- a free 5-day video tutorial series on Flex
Flex Developer Center "Learning Paths"
As a side note, the link you included actually goes to the JavaScript version of the documentation, which is what you would want if you are going to use HTML/Ajax to build your app. However, if you're wanting to use Flex you would want to use the Flex version of the documentation:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/HTML.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/html/HTMLLoader.html
And if you're wanting to use Flash, you can use the Flash Pro version of the documentation:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/html/HTMLLoader.html
Yes, it's somewhat confusing and overwhelming. We're definitely working on improving things in that regard.

Unicode or fonts

Several new apps including Captivate 2, Premiere Pro 2.0
(worked in PP 1.5 and After Affects 7.0) are not showing my fonts,
or they give me boxes(This is a Custom tribal font with unique
characters). We've used these font's for four years, and now with
some new and upgraded programs their failng to work. I can use
unicode for most of the characters in Captivate, with Vista I
should be able to uses them all. However, I've found that unicode
doesn't appear to work. Any help would be appreciated. I'll try
uploading the font file if any experts can tell me whats happening.
Any help would be appreciated
