Patterns and other special swatches missing.

Hi there!
I know there must be a very simple explanation for my issue but I can't figure out why, in some plain AI files I can't access some of the special swatches such as patterns, textures, etc; their palletes appear empty with the little crossed pencil icon meaning 'not editable'...I know all the presets are installed and I've used them occasionally, it is just that I can't determine what is it that makes them 'loadable' or not. Btw, I'm using Illustrator Cs3, on a Imac running Tiger 10.5 but I'm positive this is not a software related issue, it already happened now and then with Cs2 and even on a Pc.
Thank you
JMonteiro

Looks like I'm about to sort this out...Maybe I just wasn't using the right palletes to load the swatches I wanted...you see, sometimes it gets a bit confusing finding your way around among so many! Just a while ago a tried loading the pattern swatches from the little icon on the left bottom corner of the swatches pallete and it worked fine! Textures came up that way too so it looks like I was just looking in the wrong places! Sorry to take yr time.
Cheers

10g won't recognize ellipsis and other special characters.

I'm trying to insert data into both VARCHAR2 and CLOB columns that contains characters such as ellipsis and other special characters. Oracle doesn't recognize the characters and just converts it to garbage. Is there a way to make Oracle easily recognize these characters?
For example, it won't recognize the following ellipsis in the string:
"Here we are … right now."

My bad...I did look at the national character set instead.
When I performed theq query you posted, I got the following:
NLS_CHARACTERSET
WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
AL16UTF16
I hope this new information helps. Also, the tool involved is SQL *Plus, but I'm currently concentrated on getting the insert to work via JDBC. Thanks in advance.

Capturing returns and other special characters

Greetings,
I'm curious to know what is 'normally' done to capture
returns and other special characters from textareas. I want my user
to be able to insert 'control' characters into the text area to
allow them to provide some structure to the information they're
entering. At the moment, I'm processing the text char by char and
working out if it's an 'enter' or whatever, then appending a
'<br />' to the string before I store it and so on.
Is there a more established way to do this sort of
thing?

Use the replace function to replace either chr(10) or chr(13)
with a break tag. It's using cold fusion functions to accomplish
the same thing you appear to be doing manually.

E72: Swedish and other special characters not work...

When I send mail through MfE, swedish and other special characters do not reach the recipient, they are just ignored. No blanks or nothing. Every word with a swedish character ends up one letter short.
Before the firmware upgrade this was intermittent, happening only on about half of my mails.
Now I upgraded yesterday, and it seems the problem is now permanent.
Have seen similar posts from E75 and E90 owners, their problems seem to have been fixed by newer firmware.
Our setup is: Exchange 2003, Portwise authentication.
All other phone models work fine, like iPhone, E71 etc.
/Sebastian

After some testing I found out that if I use swedish chars in the subject line, it works fine. Even in the mail body.
If I don't use swedish chars in the subject, they won't work in the body. I either get garbage or nothing where the swedish chars should be.
The problem doesn't exist at all in my private IMAP mail account.
Could someone who uses Mail for Exchange and have special chars in their alphabet (swedish, finnish, german, hungarian etc) pls tell me how it's working out for you?

Greek, macrons, and other special glyphs? Recommended substitutions?

I had been under the impression that most modern Adobe OpenType fonts had support for glyphs like α (U+03B1, GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA) and ā (U+0101, LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH MACRON), and that the few cases I had found were mostly outliers. Today I became aware that I was mostly wrong, and would appreciate it if someone could explain what the situation really is; I was surprised to learn how wrong I was.
Most of my thinking is in the context of machines running Mac OS X with Font Folio 11 installed/available, if that's pertinent.
Miguel clarified a while ago that the macron characters were "only supported in font families with the suffix Pro, such as Minion Pro." I had missed it when he said it, or I guess internalized it wrongly. So I guess that means the macron characters are mostly available in the 24 Pro faces: Adobe Caslon Pro, Adobe Garamond Pro, Adobe Jenson Pro, Arno Pro, Bickham Script Pro, Brioso Pro, Caflisch Script Pro, Calcite Pro, Chaparral Pro, Cronos Pro, Ex Ponto Pro, Garamond Premier Pro, Lithos Pro, Minion Pro, Myriad Pro, Sanvito Pro, Sava Pro, Silentium Pro, Tekton Pro, Trajan Pro, Voluta Script Pro, Warnock Pro, Waters Titling Pro, Web Type Pro,
OK, well…fine. Then the next problem was Greek letters. Those seem to be…much more difficult to find? (I would have thought the opposite.)
Is there some tool for searching for these glyphs within Adobe's fonts? The Type Reference Guide says "Complete glyph complement pdfs can be
viewed or downloaded from the Adobe web site at www.adobe.com/type," but I can't seem to find an easy way to get to them (I guess the Flash interface sort of works? Is there a better one?).
Our house style currently uses Adobe's Utopia Std and Univers LT Std. For text in Utopia, when hunting for these glyphs, I had usually been in the habit of finding the glyphs in Times New Roman, and not worrying about it. Today I realized that that's not Adobe's Times New Roman (kind of a rude awakening), it's actually Monotype:Times New Roman Regular:Version 3.05 (Microsoft). So then I installed Adobe's Times New Roman MT Std and Times LT Std families, but they don't have the glyphs either.
Is there a recommended Adobe font that has these glyphs that is appropriate to substitute for Utopia? For Univers?
Maybe the more general question is whether there is mapping of "What font should I look in to find somewhat similar-looking glyphs when Adobe fonts are missing glyphs"?
Looking through the Type Reference Guide.pdf (or the printed 3rd edition reference library) is frustrating. I suppose I probably want a font with the icon for "Greek monotonic" or maybe "Greek polytonic" , but those seem to be encoded as special glyphs that are tough to search for.
If I search for the word "Greek," it looks like my only choices are these 7: Arno Pro, Garamond Premiere Pro, Lithos Pro, Minion Pro, Myriad Pro, Universal Std, and Warnock Pro.
Is that right, or am I missing some?
is this situation likely to improve anytime soon? Am I better off finding non-Adobe sources for these glyphs?
Utopia is a Robert Slimbach Adobe original, so I guess there are no other sources.
Univers is from Linotype, but they don't seem to sell and variants with greek glyphs?
Maybe the answer is that the folks who picked our house style made bad decisions. Though I'm really not sure? Sorry this is so long. Any thoughts much-appreciated. Thanks.

Hi John,
Lots of questions. I'll try to address them as best I as can.
Is there some tool for searching for these glyphs within Adobe's fonts?
You can use the "Character Viewer" available in Mac OS X. The only requirement is that the font(s) need to be installed.
The Type Reference Guide says "Complete glyph complement pdfs can be viewed or downloaded from the Adobe web site at www.adobe.com/type," but I can't seem to find an easy way to get to them
Just go to any face page, e.g. Minion Pro Medium Subhead. There you'll find a link named Glyph Complement which will direct you to the PDF file.
Is there a recommended Adobe font that has these glyphs that is appropriate to substitute for Utopia?
No, not really. Kepler has a similar style, but it's also an Std family, not Pro, so it won't have the characters you need.
For Univers?
No. The closest would be Myriad as they're both sans-serif. But the styles are different: Univers is a (neo)grotesque while Myriad is a humanist.
If I search for the word "Greek," it looks like my only choices are these 7: Arno Pro, Garamond Premiere Pro, Lithos Pro, Minion Pro, Myriad Pro, Universal Std, and Warnock Pro. Is that right, or am I missing some?
There's also Hypatia Sans, Sava, and Adobe Text (the latter is currently only avaialble as a CS5 registration incentive). List of fonts containing Greek.
The number of choices seems small when compared to the total number of font families available in the library. But Adobe was actually one of the first foundries that started including Greek and Cyrillic characters in their fonts on a regular basis. When you look at the Adobe Originals list you start seeing the trend.
is this situation likely to improve anytime soon?
Yes. All our newest families are Pro and include Greek and Cyrillic -- that's basically our minimum now -- and there are updates to existing families in the pipeline. But this will still take some time to become available.
Utopia is a Robert Slimbach Adobe original, so I guess there are no other sources.
Adobe actually donated Utopia fonts to the community, and while there has been some derivative work that extended it to cover Vietnamese and Cyrillic, AFAIK no one as ever designed the Greek glyphs.
Univers is from Linotype, but they don't seem to sell and variants with greek glyphs?
I think you're right. But I see they have a font named Utah WGL that may suit your needs.

Storing carriage return and other special characters in a TestStand variable and passing to LabVIEW

I am using TestStand step to call a LabVIEW VI that writes commands to a serial device. The device expects a carriage return at the end of the command. I can create a constant string in TestStand with the carriage return, e.g., "ATA\x0D" and pass that to a LabVIEW string control which shows ATA\r and the VI works properly.
To provide consistency and flexibility in my code, I want to store the terminator character(s) in a TestStand variable. However, when I try to use an expression to create the command string, i.e. "ATA" + "Locals.Terminator", where Locals.Terminator is set to "\x0D", my LabVIEW VI string control shows "ATA\\x0D" which doesn't work. And when I try Locals.Terminator set to "\r", the LabVIEW string control shows "ATA\\r" which doesn't work either.
Is there a way to store special characters in a TestStand variable and pass them to LabVIEW as special characters? I saw in another post that if you edit the TestStand variable by pressing Cntl-Enter, it will store the newline \n properly and it can be sent to LabVIEW - that works for me as well for \n. But I need to send a carriage return.
I've attached my test sequence and the corresponding LabVIEW VI with a string control.

Hi Hans,
Thanks for your detailed explanation and examples. In TestStand, change the String parameter's String Type to Binary String instead of ASCII. Then it will pass the desired value.

LAMBDA and other SPECIAL CHARACTERS

Hello,
Does someone know how to put in a lambda character? I have Framemaker 7.0 and the document I'm working on is non-structured. OS is Win XP Pro. All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Bear,
You could also try using the Equations pallete to insert the lambda symbol in para text. Here are the steps you could try:
1. Place the cursor where you want to insert the character.
2. Select Special > Equations
3. From the Equations drop-down list, select New Small eqaution. An Eq frame is added with a ? mark.
4. Click the lambda symbol from the buttons in the Equations palette. ? is replaced by the lambda symbol.
5. Shrinkwrap the equation shortcut Esc m p.
This should insert just the lambda character inline with the para text.
Hope this helps.

Python 2.5 and other libraries lost after n900 fla...

Could someone help me to solve this problem with my device? I have flashed my device fw and emmc after its brick. The flashing seemed successfully, but when i try to install some apps like fm radio it returns an error message in which inform me that some installation packages are lost like python2.5. How could solve this and have a functional device again?
please, help me.

if i try to install pygt4 it returns an error message informing me that pytho 2.5 and other lybraries are missed. So i have added maemo extras testing and i have solved. now i can install apps without error message. But i know that extra testing is not safe. i haven't it on my device before tha flasher and i can install all the apps without problems, so i ask what happened. i think i have missed something during the flasher or the nokia have introduced a restriction considering that the ajjara device is new...let me know..thank you

How to pack() twice without flicker (and other fireworks)? (with SCCEE :)

Hello, there is this "feature", that sometimes you have to call pack() twice to pack tightly around the subject. This has been discussed here before, some people call it a bug, camickr said he did not know why, this is just how the layout worked. OK, the problem with calling it twice, is that the user notices the window flicker.
The flicker does not happen every time (or, better say, we do not see it every time), that's why I put the whole thing in the loop in the SCCEE.
Even worse, this does not happen right now in my program, but in the SCCEE, there is also a boatload of exceptions (not mine), sometimes pack() even called twice does not work, and eventually, the whole loop just hangs.
(So, by Murphy's law, these things will eventually happen in my big program too)
Question: how do I resize a JFrame tightly around a JTextPane, without the flicker (and other special effects)? Here is the code, if you look carefully, you can tell the window momentarily went taller, before going shorter again - does not always happen, if you are lucky it will do this a few times before it hangs altogether... I do this many times in myprogram, as the user moves things around, they really notice.
If I call setVisible(false) before the pack()s and then back to true after, then of course, the flicker is even worse.
Thank you for any suggestion of a workaround... Mark

I tidied up your program a little, and you're right - I can see the window size flicker a little. It's very pronounced with only 1 call to pack(), and less so with 2 calls to pack(), but still noticeable.

Can you explain a huge difference between a manual pattern and a swatch pattern?

I have two main question.
one is a difference between a manual pettern (copy and paste object multiple times) and a swatch pattern.
and another one is the reason why a swatch pattern is much smaller file size then the other.
here is the detail.
at work,
somebody created the pattern white background and almost 120 lions in the box.
Literally, copy and past the object repeadily till fill the box.
It was eps format and 72mbs.
So I created a pattern in swatch (ofcourse properly), and a draw a big box and filled with pattern.
and It was only under 2 mbs Al format.
and I was importing the my Al file to indesign and my senior designer said
I was wasting my time for nothing.
she said even though it's under 2mb still all the anchor points are there and takes long time to load the file.
and last time the eps file created error. But mine was swatch pattern in AI so I totally don't understand.
What she suggested was, create a tif file with eps file so it doesn't creat any error.
Can Anybody explain this ?

The difference is instances just like with symbols.
If objects are manually copied and placed then each and every anchor, path, and shape is tracked by the file. Every single one of them.
If a pattern swatch is made, the original art is referenced once then called as often as needed. Each anchor, path, and shape is not stored. One set of data regarding the anchors, paths, and shapes is stored then the app simply tracks where copies are located.
Using pattern swatches (and symbols) will greatly increase performance when redrawing and outputting, not to mention editing and file size (if that's a consideration).
