Italic characters showing up as garbage in e-mails

For some time now with any e-mails that I receive that contain italic I am unable to read the italic text. I can read the roman text just fine. I am running 10.4.10 on an Intel iMac. Anyone know why this is happening and how to make it stop? Thanks.

Use Edit > Paste Special > Text only.
This strips away the MS Word formatting.

Why do unexpected characters show up in the gmail e-mails I compose?

I am using Firefox 3.6.24. I had upgraded to a later version, but it put so much stuff at the bottom of my netbook screen that I rolled it back to 3.6.
When I compose an e-mail in gmail, unwanted characters insert themselves into the body of my e-mail. In html, it looks like a free-floating "1" (without quotes) and a free-floating "2". When I change to plain text, it looks like the beginning of a list with "1" on one line and "2" on the next line. It's as if there's a template or signature that inserts itself. I just now downloaded the extension for Blank Canvas Signatures for Gmail, in an effort to fix the problem, but I didn't have it when the problem came up, so Blank Canvas Signatures isn't the issue.
This doesn't happen when I use Explorer nor does it happen when I compose an e-mail on my iPhone.
How did these characters get there and how do I get rid of them?

upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

Accented characters showing up as ? in JRE1.3 but ok in 1.2

I'm implementing a database web interface product that utilizes JSPs (on SunOS 5.7).
The problem is in the search form. When using accented characters (French language), the JSP calls on URLEncode, but all accented characters show up as '?'.
However, when editing a record, using accented characters is not a problem (i.e., the accented characters are properly stored in the fields).
Back on the server, I ran a small program to output accented characters and also to call java.net.URLEncoder to convert the characters.
The default JDK is J2SE (1.3.1). Compiliing and running the program results in question marks.
Using JDK 1.2, the accented characters show up fine.
It would appear that URLEncoder is not at fault, but instead, JDK 1.3.1 doesn't seem to handle the accented characters.
I figure there must be a setting somewhere, but I'm not sure where.
Here's the program I used (written in Win98, using standard Win-based character set and Unicode format \u00xx; in Unix, "more" displays the Win accented characters fine but "vi" displays them as \xxx; compiles and displays perfectly when using JDK 1.2):
import java.net.*;
class mine {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("��") ;
System.out.println(URLEncoder.encode("��")) ;
System.out.println("\u00e0\u00e2\u00e4");
System.out.println("\351");
System.out.println("\351\347\356\364\373\340\350\342\344\374\357") ;
The output with JDK 1.2 is:
��
%E9%E7%EE%F4%FB%E0%E8%E2%E4%FC%EF
��
The output with JDK 1.3.1 is:
%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F

Between jdk1.2 and jdk 1.3 the default encoding of the vm changed.
You can get it by executing:
System.out.println("Default Encoding:" + System.getProperty("file.encoding"));
or
System.out.println("Default Encoding:" + (new java.io.InputStreamReader(System.in)).getEncoding());
The default encoding is used during the conversion of bytes to strings and vice verca.
Assume your default encoding is ISO8859_1. Then calling new String(byte[]) is equivalent to calling
new String(byte[], "ISO8859_1")
Now if you are converting a character from one encoding scheme to another and there is no mapping
for this character in the target scheme. Then the character will be replaced by a default character
which is (quite often) the question mark.
You can set the default encoding for a vm by passing it as a command line parameter
java -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1
java -Dfile.encoding=Cp1252

I have Chinese Characters showing up on the top of my Firefox page.

The Chinese Characters have been showing up for a couple of months. I have tried using various Virus Detecting programs such as MalewareBites but they don't seem to fix the problem. These Chinese Characters show up on the initial Firefox Search Screen as well as my ANZ Bank and Ancestry.com.au webpages just to name a few. How can I get rid of them. These Chinese Characters don't appear on Google or Internet Explore. If this can't be fixed I may have to stop using Firefox and use Google or Internet Explorer. I have tried attaching an image of this problem but it appears I am unable to.

Hi, this is a known problem with McAfee Site Adviser, so if you are using it, that could be the cause. [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/76071?tstart=0 Here's a link to their forum], and [http://service.mcafee.com/faqdocument.aspx?id=TS100162 here's instructions] for removing it - should you wish to.
Hope that helps.

Chinese characters show up as white boxes when doing captions

I am using Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a late 2013 MacBook Pro. I am trying to add Traditional Chinese subtitles to my video. I have imported a .dfxp file and added it to the timeline on V2 above my video track on V1. I have rendered the timeline. I have activated the closed captioning display. When I view the .dfxp file in the Captions Window, I can see the Chinese characters in the text boxes with their associated in and out points on the timeline. THE PROBLEM: IN THE PROGRAM MONITOR WINDOW, THE CHINESE CHARACTERS SHOW UP AS WHITE BOXES INSTEAD OF THE CHINESE CHARACTERS.
I have added all of the available Chinese fonts from Adobe Typekit. I have restarted Premiere to see if adding these fonts did anything to help. It did not. My question: how can I get the Chinese characters to appear instead of the white boxes?
Here's what it looks like:

Thanks for the post -- I'd file a bug report on this.

Characters shows as "?"

Compile the struct samples in FDK11
2.Open with “Framemaker11”
3.Insert characters as below in FM11
4.Some of characters shows as “?” （eg：）。 Also ， after save and close， reopen it， some of the characters shows as “?” too.
Please help me solve the problem, so that we will not show “?” after reopen it.

Please note that the Character Palette shows all of the unicode glyphs that exist, however the font being used may not actually have these encoded into it.
For example, entering the 21D line of the Character palette shows the following results for different fonts:
For the SymbolStd font, the contained glyphs are shown in this pdf: http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/pdfs/SYBQ/SymbolStd.pdf
Is the correct font being applied to the characters in your example? To be certain that the correct charcters have been placed in the FrameMaker document, you should highlight the ? charcter and select the File > Utilities > Hex Input...option. This will display the exact unicode value of the selected character as shown below:
If you check the SymbolStd glyph chart, you will find that the arrow glyphs above 21d4 are not present in the font, hence he question mark is displayed when the SymbolSd font is specified. However, these same codepoints exist in the Arial Unicode MS font and are correctly displayed.
The reason that you aree seeing the ? characters means that for the specified codepoint, the font that is being used for that specific character does not have that glyph available. Check what is defined in your paragraph and character tags applied to your content.

Multiple characters show up when I'm typing in Safari.

Help! When I am using Safari, and I'm typing, for example, the address of a web page, multiple characters show up. Ex: google comes up as ggooogle. It only seems to happen when I am using Safari. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi Robert! Thanks for replying so quickly!
On the Autofill menu, I have checkmarked "Using Info from my address book" and "Other forms". I turned these two off, and typed in "auto fill" in the spotlight search. it came out as "autto fill". Is it possible that I typed in some words wrong, and it's remembering what I typed?

Odd characters showing in capture

Captivate 8 Mac.
After a basic recording I've noticed the highlight boxes include a string of lovely dingbats. The same characters show regardless of the color of highlight box used. I have no idea how to get rid of this. The characters behave like text in that if the highlight box is narrowed considerably the characters don't show. I didn't think to check the XML files for the highlights to see if they include some odd tag.

Hmmm, Highlight Boxes aren't capable of containing characters, so whatever the characters are, are stemming from something else.
On second thought, it would seem the "Highlight Box" object typically has the term "Highlight Box". And that would seem to certainly correspond to the number of characters you are seeing. It's as if Captivate is presenting the word using Wingdings font or something.
Does the same thing occur for other objects, such as Click Box?
Have you reported this to Adobe as a bug?

Email sent on my iphone 5 does not show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa especially since update to Yosemite

I have an iphone 5 and a Macbook pro. Since upgrading to Yosemite, when I send an email from my yahoo email account or another email account linked to my website, on my iphone, the emails don't show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa.
I have deleted the accounts and re-created them on both my iphone and macbook pro but the samething keeps happening.
When last I was at the istore, they were unable to sort it out and said I needed to book it in.
Any suggestions that will prevent me from booking my macbook pro in are welcome.

Hi,
Are you saying you are trying to synch iMessages across two iPhones ?
Or do you mean you are trying to get iMessage that were synced to one iPhone to show on another ?
Whilst the first is possible - from the date you add the second iPhone the second is not possible.

1. Open iTunes.
2. Click the View option in the iTunes menu.
3. Select the Show Sidebar option.
Connect your phone, select it in the Sidebar...the various tabs will now show as before.

Whenever I send a single person text it shows as coming from my e-mail but when I send a group message it comes from my phone. How do I change it so it always comes from my phone number not e-mail.

Whenever I send a text to a person it shows as coming from from e-mail but when I send a group text it shows as coming from my phone? How can I change it so that all texts come from phone?

The fact that the problem only occurs when iphones are texting you leads me to think that iMessage may be the culprit. The fact that it is only iphones using SPRINT however is weird. Try turning imessage off on both yours and your sons phones to see if the problem persists. If it does, it may be a carrier problem.

Mail Sent from MacBook Air Doesn't Show Up in 'Sent' Folder in Mail in iPho

Mail sent from the MacBook Air does not show up in the iPhone 'Sent' Mail folder. Incoming mail shows up in both devices' inboxes. Is this normal?

You need to set the mailbox behavior:
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> .Mac/.Me -> Account Info -> Advanced
At "Mailbox Behaviors" you can choose if the "Drafts Mailbox", "Sent Mailbox", and "Deleted Mailbox" uses a mailbox "On My iPhone" or "On the Server".
Before you change the settings, move the mails in Mail.app from the Sent mailbox on your iPhone to a (temporarily created) folder on the MobileMe server. Then change the settings and move the mails from the previous step to the Sent mailbox on MobileMe. Now they all should be visible on your iPhone.

Arabic characters showing as garbage

Post Author: microsoftee
CA Forum: .NET
I have a report created with version of Crystal Report that came with Visual Basic 6.
Now I have to use same report in my .net application. When I show this report in my application or open it in Crystal Reports XI, X or 8 version it shows garbage character in place of Arabic text everywhere in all reports e.g. "C?U? C???UU?" .
Please help me to solve this problem.

Adil

Thanks for reply.
Its not related to DB connection because its showing the report text fields (constant fields) as garbage. In CR designer it sometimes shows Arabic data and text fields correctly but in my application its always showing garbage characters.
