Modified Keyboard Layout (Unicode) not useable with different fonts

Hi,
I have created a customized unicode keyboard layout with german basic layout and polish characters supplied with the "Alt" key. I activated the layout and was able to type in most of the OSx applications BUT only with fonts Times New Roman and Arial. When I switched to a differnet font and typed normal chars they were displayed in the font style selected. When I typed the Polish characters defined via ALT + A for example, these chars were displayed in TimesNew Roman, not in the selected font e.g. comic mt...
this was the case in ms office apps as well as in Apple Mail or other apps.
Please help me out. I need a functional basic German keyboard layout with aditional keys defined under ALT+ somewthat. How can I get this stuff working, maybe without using Unicode? Do I have to modify the generic .RSC files with ResEdit, and does somebody have an Idea how to do this.
Basically I need German keyboard with the mentioned addition of some polish keystrokes.
Many thanks in advance
thomas

There is nothing wrong with your keyboard. Your problem is probably caused by the fact that not every font has the characters needed for Polish. Just open up Character Palette, go to 0142, and look in the Font Variation panel. That will show you the fonts that do have the slashed l, for example. They should all work fine, except in Appleworks and Word X, which cannot do Unicode.

Keyboard layout does not matc keyboard issue

HI. After recovering control of my 10.5.8 Mac - lost admin password - I find my keyboard layout does not match my real one.
Actually it never did, I had to buy a new keyboard after original was damaged and the new one was for Snow Leopard systems, not my 10.5.
So there was a slight discrepancy already there but minor enough for me to not bother about changing it.
But now it,s way out of what it should be and this is difficult to write with punctuation.
Registration process to regain control after lost admin pass issue> chose - English - as language
My hard keyboard is spanish - slight difference only and which has never caused a headache
I have British English first, and Spanish second, as my preferred input languages.
In my KB input menu I have British, Spanish, and additionally entered Spanish ISO - *this was what I used before losing admin password, and also US English.
There is no Change Keyboard Option in sys prefs - kb and mouse pane.
There is no KB setup assistant.
I have tried various layouts with no luck.
I need to get back as close to possible as a normal layout, that is, all punctuation symbols must match where they are on the keyboard, e,g asterisk to asterisk, etc.
As far as I can tell the only difference with a normal English or US english keyboard is in addition of one extra letter - the n, with accent.
Thanks for any help

Apple Spanish keyboards should normally work right when you have chosen Spanish ISO in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen. Could you tell us which keys are not correct when you do that?
If your keyboard does not match, one fix would be create a custom layout using

It's really pretty easy.

Layout adjustment not working with tables

Hi all
Why will layout adjustment not work with tables?
I am trying to re-format from A4 landscape to A4 portrait.
The text box containing the table will resize but not the table.
Any clues why this might be, I don't want to manually resize every table in the document.
Many thanks,
Rob

Thanks Jongware,
Having resized the table and got the little red ovals, I tried various things like changing the font size etc but the best workaround I found was to select the table and change the cell inset value to 0, this got rid of all red ovals and I didn't need to change the font size.
Cheers,
Rob

Dante font used in manuscript - when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

Dante font used in manuscript … when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

OK, we've got it!
What is happening is that when you use Microsoft's save as PDF in Word, the font isn't embedded even though the font is tagged to allow embedding. Furthermore, Microsoft doesn't properly put the font name into the PDF file such that Acrobat or Reader can readily find the font installed on your system such that the text can be properly displayed and/or printed. Acrobat and Reader attempt to display and/or print the text using a “substitution font” and of course, as they say, YMMV (“your mileage may vary”)!
I personally submitted the report of this problem (both the embedding and the font name problem) to Microsoft. They acknowledge the bug, tried a fix and provided me a build with it, but it wasn't right. Maybe they will ultimately fix it, maybe they won't. We don't know yet. We do know that if it is fixed, it will be fixed only for Office 2013 (problem occurs with all Office applications since they use the same PDF generation code) and thus such a fix won't help you.
Adobe Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro both provide an Adobe PDFMaker plug-in to Office applications (including full support for Office 2010) that adds an Acrobat Toolbar as well as a Save as Adobe PDF menu item. The resultant PDF file fully supports embedding of OpenType CFF, TrueType, and Type 1 fonts and in many other ways produces much superior PDF with a full range of PDF generation options not available with the Microsoft PDF. (Note that beginning with Office 2013, Microsoft does not support Type 1 fonts in Office documents at all, even for existing documents!) The Acrobat Office functions are widely used and respected in the end user community and whatever “issues” there are (all software has “issues” of some type - it is a matter of how many and how severe), you should be in much better shape for PDF production that with what you currently are using.
Good luck and let us know if this resolves your problems. (Note that you can download and install a free fully-functional 30 trial of Acrobat Pro to assure that it meets your needs! You can then buy a license and activate what you already have installed.)

Save/open document with different font with RTFEditor!

Hello everyone !
I am creating a RTF Editor with JTextPane, DefaultStyledDocument and RTFEditor,It is right if input English character with different Font such as Arial,Basemic etc .but with Non-English ,It is question!!when I input chinese in font "��GB_2312",and save it ,then I open it again ,font is changed to "��"��but font size,color ,and style is correct!I doubt it is RTFEditor does't support chinese font ,is it?how can I do?
thanks a lot!

That's because nobody has posted an answer. You can find the discussion at how do I save a document with different page orientations to one pdf? I think this is pretty much what happens on Mac, but you can combine the separate PDFs to one.

Apple Wireless keyboard layout does not match

Hello, I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with my iPad. It connects fine but the layout is not recognised. The wireless keyboard is Azerty but in the iPad when I type I get qwerty. The touchscreen keyboard of my iPad is also azerty so I did not expect this to happen. Cannot find where to change any setting to get this fixed. Any ideas?
Thanks.

As far as I can find there is only the one...some countries have more than one language and could have more than one layout but it may be a marketing thing with Apple...choosing the layout that will have the largest number of people using it rather than all options.
If you need another, give Apple feedback:

Keyboard layout switching not working

i use xfce4 and i created /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "us, ar"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
but it's not working.
xfce4 has a program called Keyboard in settings menu, i used it it gives the ability to add another language but it doesnt has a switching capability.

I don't use keyboard layout switch through xorg.conf because it stops to work sometimes(if i use setxkbmap for example).
So i am using setxkbmap in .xinitrc.
setxkbmap -model pc105 \
-layout "de,ru" \
-variant "basic,phonetic" \
-option -option "grp:sclk_toggle, grp_led:scroll, terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp, caps:none"
and "kbdd" for remembering layout for each window.
Change it to your needs or check the arch wiki about xorg.conf.d .

Apple wired keyboard - certain keys not working with shift

I treated myself to a new Apple wired keyboard MB110B/A for my mac mini.
My previous keyboard worked fine, however the new keyboard causes the computer to enter the Hardware Test mode every time the computer is restarted. The computer only starts normally without the keyboard connected (or with my old keyboard connected).
Once the computer has started, if I plug the new keyboard in, it appears to work normally with the following exceptions. The following keys do not register when the "shift" key is pressed: 2, w, s, x. This fault does not occur with my old keyboard.
As these keys are in a line, I think there may be a wiring fault inside the keyboard. If so, would this explain the computer entering Hardware Test mode every time it is started with the keyboard connected?
Thanks in advance.

Definitely sounds like a hardware fault in the keyboard to me. I assume it's the same whichever USB port it's connected to? (and if you plug it into another Mac, too)?
Of course, as that keyboard is glued together in final assembly, it's completely unrepairable.
If it's a reproducible fault (and new anyway): take/send it back for replacement. You shouldn't have any trouble with Apple arguing.

Liquid Layout does not work with extreme long pages

(Solution at the end)
Hi there.
I have a layout for iPad with a width of 1024 and variable height.
I now need an alternative layout for iPad HD. So I try to use liquid layout to alternate my layout to 2048 width and height x 2.
The maximum size in InDesign is 15552px. So I managed to get all my SD layouts below 7776px.
to sum things up:
iPad SD: 1024x7776
transform into
iPad HD: 2048x15552
Problem is, in this case the option to scale everything automatically gets completely ignored.
Another layout, which uses only text and no images, boxes or multimedia gets transformed correctly.
Does anybody have a tip for me how I can work around it?
Thanks in advance.
p.s.: Adobe, please increase the maximum sizes for documents
Solution:
Aaaand I just got it. Specify a new preset for your document-sizes: 2048x15552. Now if you use the page tool just click the new (in my case) "iPad HD" and choose liquid layout: scale.
Works like a charm

I am using Automator to find files with the .pages
extension and then copy them to another folder, which
lists the copied Pages files by name but with Zero

file is missing.
Any ideas on how to get a Pages file to copy with
Automator?
Hi Kurt
To answer the title of your message: no, Pages does not work with Automator.
But that's not really what you're asking. You really want to know how to copy Pages documents using Automator.
To help you we need to know what Actions you're using in Automator and the parameters you're using eg the Filter Finder Items action (using a pages file extension) and the Copy Finder Items actions. Pls let us know how you're doing this and we'll try to help.
Thanks.

Keyboard issue still not fixed with Bootcamp 3.1

It appears that bootcamp 3.1 did nothing to solve the most annoying issue I face. Everytime I unplug my Mac keyboard from my MacBook Pro, and then plug it back in, bootcamp reverts the keyboard back to mapping the function keys using the apple standard regardless of the setting in the bootcamp control panel.
So everytime I unplug/plug-in the keyboard (which is a lot during the day given my job) I have to open the control panel, uncheck the "Use function keys as standard function keys" checkbox, click apply, then check the same checkbox again to re-enable it and click OK.
I've actually become quite used to doing this, but it's still annoying nonetheless.
I'm wondering if there is no way to fix this. Maybe it's a USB thing. Maybe it's a firmware thing in the apple keyboard. Who knows.
Apple, I have posted several times and have never had a response. It would be nice to hear something from someone on the issue.
Thanks.

Dear Deputy Dwane T.,
Hopefully this will help solve the constant setup problem. I found a solution for what may be a similar problem, but it was with the keyboard in OS X rather than in Windows. The problem I had was that I would start up in OS X and then connect the keyboard. I then would get a keyboard setup "wizard", and this problem would happen each time I connected the keyboard. I found that if I would start the computer up with the keyboard first connected before startup, then go through the keyboard setup, and then restart with the keyboard still connected, after that I never would get the setup stuff again. Now I could connect the keyboard at any time before or after startup, and the keyboard would be recognized properly. As for the mis-assignment of the key positions, is there no way to reassign these in the keyboard control panel item in Windows? I see that under the Control Panel "Region and Language" item, if one chooses the tab entitled "Keyboards and Languages" and then the "Change Keyboards" button, followed by the "Add" button, there is an option for "United States-International (Apple)". Does that keyboard layout solve the problem?
Sincerely,
Wilson

Apple Wireless Keyboard - some keys not working with iPhone 5

I just bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard (2011) and paired it with my iphone 5 (iOS 7.0.3).
All keys work except the following:
Space bar
Delete
Caps Lock
Down Arrow
Tab
I can understand if iOS has no concept of Tab, but Space and Delete are essential.
Did I get a bad keyboard?

Virtual IE not working with different version of local IE

I built a virtual IE9 using the template (as Novell suggests). I needed it to support a web app that is only compatible with IE9. Our environment is IE11. The main problem is that you cannot view or download any files. The IE download manager box flashes and disappears. If you're opening up any pdf or MS Office file, the new tab in IE is blank (no file is viewed). Sometimes if you download anything, it will save to local Downloads folder, but does not auto-run. Also, you cannot change the "save as" directory, nothing comes up. This only happens when running the virtual IE9 on a machine that has local IE11. If the local IE is 9, then everything works. I've also tested and noticed this happens with any version of IE, it only works when the virtual IE version matches the local IE version. Which defeats the purpose of using virtual apps if you're running it on the same environment. Has anyone had any luck with this? Thanks in advance.

I'll throw my 2 cents in here. You may be experiencing what I did. I needed
to have a totally isolated IE11 for school testing purposes. I soon
discovered that the vapp of IE interacts with the local version??? Kind of
defeats the purpose. I opened an SR and it was confirmed that this is
expected behavior. After research I was given a document last week that
explains how to totally isolate IE form the desktop. My requirements were to
have the latest JAVA and flash and to absolutely not interact with the local
version due to inconsistencies across the school systems IE installs. I made
the new build and tested on a laptop with no flash and Java and it worked
fine with the changes to the registry settings of the vapp. Below are the
settings that support had me change. Not sure if you have done this but as
for the PDF issue did you create a pdf reader SVM and add that to your vapp?
I made a JAVA and Flash SVM and added those.
here are the settings to make sure your IE is totally isolated.
Isolate Host IE Add-ons
To completely isolate all host add-ons from the virtual version of IE it is
necessary to fully isolate the registry keys where the add-ons are
referenced.
Part 1: Remove the relevant keys from the IE configuration
Delete the following registry keys (if present) from the Spoon Studio
configuration for IE.
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Ext]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Browser
Helper Objects]
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Ext]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Browser
Helper Objects]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser
Helper Objects]
Part 2: Import the isolation registry keys
Import the attached registry file into the configuration
(isolate-ie-plugins.reg).
Part 3: Set the keys to full isolation
Set the following keys to full isolation.
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Ext]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Browser
Helper Objects]
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Ext]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Browser
Helper Objects]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser
Helper Objects]
Part 4: Build and test the IE package
Build the Spoon Studio IE configuration and test it on a machine that has IE
plugins installer. Verify that the plugins are not loaded.
You need to make a reg file out of this and import it per above
instructions. Copy and paste it into a text file then change the extension
to .reg.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Ext]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Browser

3gs not working with different sim

Hi
Just upgraded my 3gs which was purchased unlocked from the apple store. It was working fine and still does with an o2 sim but will not work with a virgin sim. It says "No Service" have also tried disabling 3g, but still nothing. any ideas?

Hi there,
if your Virgin SIM-card does work in another phone, have Apple doublecheck whether your iPhone 3GS's IMEI truely is flagged as unlocked. If you bought it as a brand new iPhone, it should (in most cases) indeed be factory-unlocked, else if you bought it as a replacement outside the replaced phone's warranty, there might be problem with a faulty database entry, since iOS5 update apparently changed the way the lock/unlock status is verified during the activation process.
This is causing many people to end up with locked phones after the update. Anyway, it is something Apple can change rather easily, once such error is confirmed.
Hope this helps,
Chris
