Is it possible to add characters to the Character Palette?

Just wondering if this is possible and if so, how? Thanks, Paul

I just thought
one could add one's own sybols.
The Character Palette is just a reflection of your fonts, so what you need is a font with the symbol you want. If you put the Palette into glyph mode, you can check out what is in Dingbats, Webdings, Wingdings, etc. But I don't think there is a paw. So you would need to make a font with a paw in it. Here are a couple links for font making:
FontLab
FontForge
I sent several of them to my yahoo
mail and they did not come through
You probably need to set the encoding on your browser or mail program to UTF-8.

Shortcuts for the character palette

Is it possible to have a shortcut for the characters in the character palette?

I recommend this Applescript:
do shell script "open /System/Library/Components/CharacterPalette.component/Contents/SharedSupport/Ch arPaletteServer.app"
Save it as "Application" to launch with a doubleclick. From the Applescript menu it can just be a compiled script.
You can also launch it from Terminal with just the shell command, if you go that way.

Is it possible to add reflection to the KVM?

I was wondering if it was at all possible to add reflection to the kvm, or is it completely prohibited by design?
Has anybody attempted/been successful in adding reflection?
Thanks,
JB

The MID profiles don't include reflection, nor does it provide access to the class files for you to manually decompile.
So, I don't think such a thing would be easily done, if at all possable.

Is it possible to add button in the main tool panel of AI cs6 using javascript?

Hello freinds,
Is it possible to add button in the main tool panel of AI cs6 using javascript?
or is there any other way of adding the ui component to the tool panel..
is it feasible??

you can't add buttons to the tool panel using javascript, your only option is to create a plugin, you'll need C++ for that.
yes, you'll need the SDK...if you need help with that, there's a dedicated forum for it

How do I insert Greek characters from the character viewer in Lion?

In Lion, the Character Viewer shows many more options for different characters than SL. Of course, it displays Latin, but, as I scientist I often need to insert Greek characters, but I cannot find Greek characters in the Character Viewer. I don't otherwise need to select Greek as a language. Inserting Greek characters from some applications like MS Word still works.
And ... while I'm here ... what happened to the "insert" button? -j

Click the gear icon to edit your list:
Select Customize List:
and check "Greek"

Special Characters and the Character Palate

I am trying to type a composition for my Italian class. I need to insert a few accent marks. Common sense tells me that I should use the "special characters" option on the edit menu, and a little research explains that a character palate should pop up. However, when I click special characters, nothing happens! What do I do?
Thank you for your help!

Jennifer,
Do I understand correctly that you are calling up the Character Palette (using, e.g. Edit/Special Characters...) and nothing happens, i.e. no Palette pops up?
If yes, then Tom Genecke provided this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307354
which solved the problem for me right away.
As for international characters, I warmly recommend including the US-Extended Keyboard in your layout (System Preferences/International/Input Menu). This allows you to use shortcuts for characters such as à or ì (Alt-`/~ (top left hand corner of your US keyboard) followed by the letter a or i, respectively), or é, á, or í (Alt-e followed by e,a, or i). And a host of others.
Good luck on your composition!

How to (once again) customize the Character Palette's Favorites pane?

Way back in the dark days of OSX (wait, I think we're still then) I immediately found and had major use for the Character Palette (hooray for Unicode integration!). It has been indispensable in a wide variety of things, including Japanese document manipulation, music notation, subtitle generation in DSP, and mathematical formulae layouts.
Early on it had an easy to operate customization for the favorites pane, so you could arrange the glyphs by category (great for Japanese punctuation symbols) or layout (very helpful in mathematics). However...
That function seems to be long gone, and there is actually no useful help either under "Apple Help" or the Apple website for the Character Palette -- telling people how to access accented characters with it is something almost anybody can figure out in about 10 seconds, and that is pretty much the limit for help with the Character Palette.
So, the question is, "*_is there any way to customize the layout of the Favorites pane any more?_*" This could include odd key-combos, hidden buttons, or even hacking the prefs file (which I am having a hard time finding, since there are thousands of pref files and hundreds of directories to search, and Spotlight refuses to look in the system areas -- still yearning for the return of Panther's "Find" function).
Someone asked this question about a year ago, but got no response, so I will be very grateful for any help at all.
--Thanks

The shortcut is what you see in any app at Edit > Special Characters

Issues in the character palette

Since updating InDesign CC to the most recent version (8 Jan 2014) I've noticed some intermittant bad behaviour in the character palette.
Changing a font family works fine, but subsequent changes made using the weight/style dropdown don't apply to the selected text frame.
Using the weight/style dropdown in the glyph palette still works, and is a good enough temporary work around.
The issue is only in this version of ID (my colleague's ID6 works fine), and hasn't yet occurred in any other CC applications I've tried.
The issue went away when I trashed preferences and saved settings files (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990) a few hours ago, but has since recurred.
My question: Should I stop syncing my user settings as well and start completely afresh?
Cheers
Anthony

Hi,
The issue went away when I trashed preferences and saved settings files (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990), but has since recurred occasionally. At this moment, I’ve been seeing no problems and I’m also using the most recent update.

HELP!! Lost the "character palette" - how do I retrieve it?

Somehow I managed to lose the "character palette" - it froze, and I couldn't get it to close, so I shut down the computer, but when it restarted, the character palette would not open. Or rather, a blank "ghost" of it appeared for a couple of seconds, then vanished. Clicking on either "show palette" or "hide palette" does nothing. I tried Spotlight to try to locate it on the hard drive, but nothing that showed up led me to it.
Any ideas? Will I have to reinstall it?
Thanks for any suggestions.......

It sounds like you may have a bad font. That happened
to me once and I discovered Character Palette was
very sensitive to bad fonts. You might also try
deleting:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.CharPal
etteServer.plist"
If removing that doesn't do it I suspect you'll have
to start looking at your fonts to find the one
causing the problem. In my case it was an old Adobe
Garamonde font I had installed not long before I
discovered the Character Palette problem.

Hi Francine,

Everytime I try to access the Character palette in Illustrator it unexpectedly quits.

Everytime I try to access the character palette in Illustrator it unexpectedly quits. I've contacted Apple ( as the problem only started when I moved over to my new laptop) but they are convinced it is an Adobe issue.
They described the problem as a 'Kernel Panic', from a bit of Googling I know this is not good. What can I do to try and resolve this?
I've tried resetting my Illustrator preferences (as I've read these can become corrupted when transferred from one computer to another) and uninstalling then reinstalling Illustrator. On the Apple side I've tried starting the computer in Safe Mode, used Apple Diagnostics, validated all my fonts and reset my fonts to standard settings (as I was convinced that the fact it only happened when I was trying to access the character palette meant it had to be a font issue)
The only other glitch i've had with the new laptop is with Helvetica Neue. Whenever I tried to export a document containing Helvetica Neue it transformed the font into squares. I read that this was due to a clash between the new version of Helevetica Neue on my new laptop and the one on my old laptop. I replaced the new version with the one on my old laptop and the problem resolved itself- however I'm now worried that by doing this I might have caused the problems I'm now having as Helvetica Neue is a system font.
What can I do?

When you uninstalled and reinstalled AI did you run the Cleaner tool in between?

What happened to all the foreign alphabets in the character palette?

Can anyone tell me why all the foreign alphabets disappeared from the character palette when I "upgraded" to Lion? Is there any way I can download them back into the character palette?

You just need to go to the gear wheel at the top left, click on it and select customize, and then check the boxes for all the alphabets you want, plus Unicode.

Is is possible to delete characters to the right of the cursor?

On the virtual keyboard there is the cancel key available on the numeric part of the keyboard.
It get rid of the last entries (to the left of the cursor).
Is there something to erase characters to the right of the cursor, like the DEL key on a PC keyboard?

No. You need to move the cursor and then backspace.
Note that if you tap the text to place the cursor and then hold your finger on the text, a magnifying glass will show and you can move the cursor as desired.

Is it possible to add in a 250 character text field to report

Hi Guys,
I am loading a BI ODS from an external datasource via a csv file.
the issue I have is that one of the fields that I want to load to the ODS is 250 characters long, the maximum length of a character is 60 length right?
What are my options or is there any way of showing this big 250 character field.
Thanks,

Hi
I know this is not you're asking but, if I were you I rather question the request; what are the reporting requirements? Even if it's technically possible to create a char 250 infoobject, how would you display in BEx, it won't fit the screen with key figures & keys. Also you can't possibly use this as nav attribute, unless you have a google type search that you can use wild chars! - i assume it will be a free format text. And if it's a free format text, you can't use it to make intelligent/statistical decisions, can't create exception reports/alerts etc.

Retrain OCR in LabVIEW (retrieve indexes of found characters within the character set file)

Dear all,
I am trying to retrain my OCR set file in LabVIEW. Basically I show the read string to the user and in case something is wrong the respective character must be corrected in the charatcer set file, according to the text entered by the user. It sounds quite straightforward, but I haven´t manage to figure out how to retrieve the character index in the file has to be retrained. For that I would need know which character in the set file was found to resemble a give read character. Do you know how can I retrieve this info? I intent to use the OCR Rename Character VI.
Best regards,
Esteban
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Arroyo,
you can retrieve the total number of trained characters by using the IMAQ OCR Property VI and looking for the property "Size of char set".
