Missing character

A missing "µ" character was discovered from files created in an earlier version (Illustrator 10), then opened and saved in CS6 - original characters dropped out, such as "µ", "±", etc. No warnings were indicated. Even the space where the character resided in, "disappeared".
If anyone has a clue why this happened, or can tell me how to search for the error, I would appreciate it. My company has asked that I audit all our drawings (thousands).

Laura,
we used the same font
Are you entirely sure?
Whoever created the files may have used special glyphs/characters from at least one different special font (the MU could be from a Greek font or from a math font, the plus/minus (without a slash could very well be from a math font. In other words mixing the font(s) in.
Even the space where the character resided in, "disappeared".
I take it this means that the gap is closed so you can no longer see where they should be. Is there only a single space between the words/numbers that had surrounded each (you can see it using the Type Tool)?
I am afraid it will be a rather difficult task.

  • Missing Character/Paragraph Palette after reinstallation of AI CS 11

    Missing character palette after reinstallation of AI CS 11. My desktop computer crashed and I installed the program on my laptop which is running WINDOWS VISTA. The character/paragraph palette is missing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks, but I already tried that. Doesn't work. There is a problem when you reinstall AI that this happens. The typical fixes for earlier versions of deleting the AIprefs folder don't work as AI changed after AI 10 and the prefs are spread out. I appreciate your reply, though.

    Iv a relative new MB Pro (app. 6 weeks) and the brand new iWork08. When I started iWork the Mac gives following error: "Missing character type: Copperplate", Missing caracter type: BlackmoorLetPlain".
    I am wondering, because the Apple out of the box solution (hard- and software from one vendor) did not work. What is the problem an who can help?

  • ABAP Mapping XML-IDoc to Flat string: missing character of segement header

    Hello folks!
    I'm using an ABAP-Mapping in order to trasform an XML-IDOC to a flat string.
    The implementation of the mapping is in accordance with the "HOW TO convert an IDoc-XML to ..."Basically it works fine except the following:
    The following line shows one Segment of an IDoc. the control record is ok.
    With '380' begins the payload of the segment. The part before includes the segment header,
    which is 63 Bytes long, which is correct.
    What we're missing, is the last character of the segement header:
    ABAP-Mapping:
    E1VDEWBGM                     01000000000325511200000020000000 380   5 (...)
    BusinessConnector:
    E1VDEWBGM                     010000000003255112000000200000001380   5 (...)
    Again: the overall length of the segment is ok, but the '1' of the field hirarchie level is overwritten.
    Any idea?

    In that case you need to extend the trace file in the Visual Admin Console...
         Services
         Log Configurator
         Locations
         Choose the location (Java package) and the tracing level (severity)
    (for example, com.sap.aii.adapter.file)
         Root Location > com > sap > aii > File
         Set the severity and choose Copy Severity to Subtree
    Check the trace file to find the field erroring this way!

  • Adobe X render pdf correctly but printout with missing character

    Hi There,
    I encounter this problem when I'm trying to print a pdf which is mailed to me from Shanghai. The character which is missing is not the Chinese character but instead, is the normal english AlphaNumeric character. I'm currently on Adobe Reader X 10.0.1.0 (If im not wrong).
    We tried multiple different printer and print from different workstation and laptops which still results the same issues. The only workaround I could find, is the function of "Print as Image" in PDF which enable it to print everything in full.
    But we need a solid permanent solution in this.
    Kindly please advice.
    Thanks.
    Regards,

    You may have to activate the macro for Acrobat in PPT. In the meantime, just print to the Adobe PDF printer. Select print to fit page.

  • Missing € character when exporting from Indesign (CS4) to PDF

    I think the subject line says it all. I'm not an expert user, but have not previously had
    this problem. I get a new iMac with CS4 reinstalled
    and now 'lose' the Euro character when I export my Indesign files to
    PDF - does anyone have any advice please? Thanks.

    Even so - I don't know why - but the problem is with some fonts that the Euro doesn't show.
    I always use the Euro font for the Euro symbol and never have an issue.
    Even if you do manage to get the Helvetica Euro to show up in the PDF there is a chance it can drop out at the RIP stage and not appear in print - I've seen it happen far too many times.
    Euro font is your friend.

  • Missing character palette

    Hi all,
    I am trying to find a symbol "S" with "-" on top of it, but I could not find it in the character palette. As a matter of fact, I want to know if there is a way to put "-" on top of any letter i.e. the opposite of "underline". Can someone help? Thank you.
    Bob

    You have to type "S" or "s" and then go to the Character palette and find the Overline diacritic under the category "Diacritics", "European scripts". Here are examples your can copy/paste : ̅S̄ S̅ s̄ s̅ (short or long overline may have different meaning in different alphabets, or in mathematics).

  • Copy Paste content from PDF shows a missing character

    Our website, a4academics provides a platform for sharing academic projects and seminar reports in PDF for Students. We are getting a complaint from students, that when they copy and paste the content from PDF, the word " F " is not getting copied in some reports. What might be the reason ? Is it because of the issue with the software which created the PDF report. Its happening in few PDF files only.

    Currently to download the PDF FB like is needed. That why i asked your mail id. If you dont want to give FB like, please send the mail id.
    PDF is attached at the bottom of the link  given below

    I had copy pasted a part of the report to notepad++. Its appears as shown below. F is missing in defining

  • Missing character for password prompt

    Hello,
    I cannot seem to find the ` character during a Password prompt.
    This character is on the top left key, just below Esc.
    I think this character is U+02CB, "Modifier Letter Grave Accent"
    For context, I just changed the password of my domain account password on my PC and I included that character. Then I went to my iPhone to update the password of my Exchange account there, only to discover that character is not available at the normal iPhone keyboard.
    A curious note is that the character is available on the iPhone keyboard that appears on the To:line when typing a new mail message, so the character is available on the firmware.
    Thanks
    César

  • Missing character on iPhone keypad

    Does anyone know how to get the "back single quote" -> ` on the iPhone keyboard? This is the character that appears below the tilde (~) character on most keyboards. I have a password that uses that character and can't see how to enter it on the iPhone.

    Not the first to notice this. It is just not there. I have submitted feedback about it (you may want to as well). http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Missing character options?

    Hi I have downloaded the trial for InDesign CS5.5 and am currently following a tutorial from Lynda in an attempt to learn the program. I have gotten to the stage which discusses changing characters but am a little miffed as to what seems to be some missing options when compared to the video tutorial.
    I am hoping the image below will show the comparison of my options on the right to the video tutorial on the left. As you can see I do not have drop down options in the font type menu which contain italic bold etc. Also the actual seperate drop down for selecting italic, bold etc doesn't seem to contain the full list of options which should be available. Here the tutorial uses Chaperral Pro as an example, which contains the options for Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic, whereas in my main drop down I only have Regular or Bold options. The same applies for other fonts I have tested. Any ideas?

    InDesign doesn't show options for any font, it only shows fonts that are installed.
    That is, where a 'user-friendly' program such as Word happily offers you bold and italics for any of your fonts -- slanting and bolding them beyond recognition --, in InDesign you will only see real, actually drawn fonts. If you cannot see an Italics, that's because you don't have the Italic version installed. (That said, of course it's possible to mimick Word's behavior, but in doing so you should be fully aware of what you are doing.)
    In this case, it seems you don't have those font variants installed. You might want to double-check, in your Windows Fonts folder, and if they aren't there either you could check your installation DVDs -- I'm not sure but I have a full complement of Chaparral Pro, 6 fonts from Light to Bold.

  • Font / Missing character

    Hi guys,
    I am using Miller Text which doesn't have the inverted exclamation mark (¡) which is used in some Spanish sentences at the begining. Nevertheless it does have the closing exclamation mark (!)
    Can i convert the closing mark (!) to outline and then add it to my Glyph palette? i tried but i couldn't so far. The Glyph palette it seems just add "real" characters and not outlined ones.
    Sometime ago i read something about making "symbols" that you can add at the end of a sentence.
    Is there a better way to do this?
    Thanks for any info!
    Cheers,
    Sebs

    Never mind guys, after a deep search i manage to find the hidden character. Not easy but it is there.
    Cheers,
    S

  • Missing character glyphs in Photoshop.

    I'm running into problems in the majority of ADOBE software where specialized Unicode glphys do not appear.   The only application that works perfectly is Muse.   InDesign worked perfectly as well until CC.    It's very frustrating.     It's a custom Unicode font for a native american Language and Adobe  is cuasing us grief!      Most of the modified letters appear no problems like the raised x "ᶻ"   (U+1DBB)    and the raised w "ʷ" (U+2B7).     But the combining directics U+030C  x̌ (The wedge above the x),  U+0313 combining comma above y̓ (above y ),  and U+0315 combining comma above right  t̕  (above t ).     This is a true type font.   Anyone is free to download the font and the keyboard at www.TulalipLushootseed.com.     I'm working on updating the website.

    I still don't know what OS you are using, but I generally use the Alt codes to access characters not on my keyboard.  Like:
    Alt 0163 £
    Alt 0169 ©
    Alt 0174 ®
    Alt 0176 °
    (Using the numeric keyboard)
    Station 2, one of our Mac users, said that was an ineficient way of working, and offered alternatives, but I can't remember what they were, so they may have been Mac only features.

  • HT4314 Missing character in keys to login to Game Center?

    My daughters userID contains "<3", but we cannot find the "<" key in the keyboard after her brother has created also a game center account, and they have to switch between accounts????

    Have you experienced that + can you help?

    You were able to make < with the keyboard in the userid field with an iPhone before?  It looks to me like it is only possible in the Password field.  You can try copy/paste from somewhere else.
