Plist question (loginwindow, HIToolbox, character palette)

Hi,
There was a problem with the special character palette from Textedit recurring at login and logout on my pb. It happened after I quit Textedit without closing the palette first (I would think it should close automatically since it is part of the Textedit app?), leaving the palette still active when I logout.
I found posters who had same prob in the forum and followed the general advice of deleting comp.apple.loginwindow.plist, and it seemed to work. But today it happens again and deleting the loginwindow plist has no effect. Checked the content of the plist - it does not contain any suspicious item like last time. Search the forum again for answers. People with similar problems w/ char palette (don't know from Textedit or international language menu) popping out when it is not wanted would trash the HIToolbox.plist and/or the CharPalette plist. So I did that too, and the TextEdit plist also (why not since the OS will generate new plists & I don't have significant pref to preserve).
This method is working again. At least for now. But through this exercise I discovered I know so little about these xml files. One of the files I deleted is
com.apple.HIToolbox.000a95b1a702.plist
Does anyone know what this item is?

nice. palette popped open w/default everything, soon as i deleted it. it's still sitting in the trash.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist
I was afraid to 'cause it said 'server.'
Thank you Tom!

Message was edited by: Safari crashes

By "open & crashes", do you mean it keeps popping open, and then closes by itself over and over?
If yes, try this.
If you haven't already, turn off the Character Palette in the System Preferences. Then go to the Preferences folder in your user account and deleted the following two files.
com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist
com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
When you turn the palette back on in the System Preferences, it should come up normally.

By "open & crashes", do you mean it keeps popping open, and then closes by itself over and over?
If yes, try this.
If you haven't already, turn off the Character Palette in the System Preferences. Then go to the Preferences folder in your user account and deleted the following two files.
com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist
com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
When you turn the palette back on in the System Preferences, it should come up normally.

Character palette window malfunction

In trying to sort out a problem I was having with non-English fonts, I went to the Help Viewer and thought I had a lead with the Special Characters selection under the Edit menu. I opened the Special Characters window and found a variety of non-English fonts (I was specially interested in Hebrew). The instructions said to open an application and select the charachter. I opened Textedit and made an attempt which did not work that I could tell. What it did do, was cause the Character Palette window to malfunction. It flashes partially open on an irregular but frequent basis, perhaps connected to program activity. The window appears in the middle of the screen, it is titled and has the litlle rotating activity icon in the middle but is blank otherwise. It remains for less than a second and then disappears. When I look at it with the Console utility, it gives this sort of message:
Nov 23 19:08:24 william-scotts-ibook-g4 crashdump[608]: CharPaletteServer crashed
Nov 23 19:08:24 william-scotts-ibook-g4 crashdump[608]: crash report written to: /Users/williamscott/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/CharPaletteServer.crash.log

Hi sonopan
Fully understand the frustration
Open "Activity Monitor" in /Applications/Utilities/
On the panel you will see all of the programs in memory
scroll down and one click on "ChaPaletteServer" it will highlight
click on "Quit Process" at the top of the screen
that should clear it
To use another language I select it in System Preferences > International > Input Menu
enable "Character Palette" and "Keyboard Viewer"
at the bottom of the pane
enable "Allow a different input source for each document"
and "Show input menu in menu bar"
Open Textedit
click on the flag icon on the menu bar
select "Show keyboard viewer"
select the language
and away you go - the keyboard viewer shows the characters as available on your keyboard
You can access the International Prefs from the icon as well so if you want to deselect a language you can but change back to English (if that's you normal language) before doing so

Show Character Palette corrupted

If I choose Show Character Palette from the Menu Bar at the right hand side of the screen, the palette appears but is blank and cycles on and off every few seconds. Before this happened I had been trying to access one of the other tabs in this palette (don't know which one, of course, being unable to see the blank palette).
I've tried the tip of deleting the following files from the system>library>cache and rebooting:
com.apple.IntlDataCache.le
com.apple.IntlDataCache.le.kbdx
com.apple.IntlDataCache.le.sbdl
com.apple.IntlDataCache.le.tecx
Although my files didn't have the ".le" at the end of the file names it still worked insofar as I was able to, at least, "Hide Character Palette".
I had an idea it might be a fonts issue as I haven't been able to launch Address Book or iCal for some time now.
Any ideas please?
Michael

To keep the Character Palette from playing "Pop Goes the Weasel", delete the following file from the Preferences folder in your user account.
com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
Restart your Mac.

Character Palette unexpectedly pop out, how to turn it off?

Hi
Does anyone know how to turn the Character Palette window off?
It keeps on popping up on my computer screen(appear and disappearing repeatedly and won't stop).
Thank you!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Try deleting the Character Palette preference file: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag this file from the Preferences folder: com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
See if that helps ...

Why is Character Palette flashing on & off on my screen?

When working in Pages, suddenly the Character Palette became non-functioning...I saved my document, then closed the program, but the non-functioning Character Palette continued to show. I then tried a re-boot-shut down the computer & restarted it. It then froze once it opened & didn't show any docking station or other menu items---rebooting 3 times continued this freeze. I then shut down, unplugged & restarted. This time the docking station & everything else showed up, but for some reason the Character Palette flashed on & off-a completely blank window with just the title...it's still flashing on & off randomly! Do I attempt a reboot again? What's the bug? I'm frustrated!!

Hello Jerrene,
welcome to the Pages Discussions. This problem was mentioned in some threads and this is what helped before:
Try to delete the "com.apple.CharPaletteCache.plist" at "<YourHDName>/Users/<YourAccount>/Library/Caches/"? And the "com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist" at "<YourHDName>/Users/<YourAccount>/Library/Preferences".

Character palette does not allow insert

In the character palette, I can select every glyph. I can examine every character, Roman or not. However, the Insert button is always grayed out. This appears to be application-independent. It worked fine in 10.4.3.
I'm sure there is some plist file I must delete, but I'm not sure which one. Any ideas?

I have reinstalled two of
the applications in which this happens, to no avail.
If it is application-specific, that would have taken
care of it.
Not necessarily. I think there are some apps, including AppleWorks, that it just does not work with now, so you have to use the keyboard for special characters (or a replacement like PopChar). I doubt reinstalling the OS is going to fix these app specific issues.

Character Palette Favorites: Sort / Reorder

In a previous version of Character Palette I was able to move/sort/reorder characters in the Favorites panel. How do I do this now? I really like this utility in OS X, but it could be vastly improved.

There are two possibilities, one is easy, the other not so much. Try deleting these:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist"
"/Users/yourname/Library/Caches/com.apple.CharPaletteCache.plist"
That will reset it to defaults. The other possibility is a bad or damaged font. Tracking down which one can be difficult. If you have added fonts you can start by disabling the ones you've added yourself (in my case the weirdness started when I added an old Adobe Garamonde font), then add them back one at a time until you find the bad one.

Character Palette Berzerk

When I go into the Character Palette, set the View to All Characters & click 'by Radical' the palette locks up completely. I can still turn it on/off thru the menu, as well as turning off the pref altogether. But as long as it remains on it periodically attempts to display but disappears instantly.
Various actions seem to trigger its attempt to display, such as opening/closing files, switching windows, etc., but the only 'cure' is to delete com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist, which is obviously being corrupted by the action described above.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue or why the behavior occurs? I have found no specific reference in Discussioons or elsewhere.
Any input would be appreciated.
TIA

Thanx for the reply, Tom. I think you hit the nail on the head... I did remove most unneeded fonts from the System fonts folder, not realizing that Character Palette uses it directly.
Since Character Palette works just fine otherwise I'm simply going to stay away from the 'Radicals' altogether.

Character palette super tiny

Anybody know how to fix this? My character palette is opening up to be just big enough to see the red "close window" button in the top left corner of the window.
I trashed my system preferences plist file; could not find anything specific to the character palette.
Here's a screenshot:

Hi Again Adina!
I found this KB Article Chinese Language Kit 2.0: About The TrueType Font Editor.
From reviewing that, I think what I have discovered is, that the input mode palette, that you are looking for, works for Chinese languages.
The international language that you have enabled, Japanese Kana Palette, doesn't seem to utilize the input menu
Try this:
In SP > International > Input Menu, checkmark the option Show input menu in menu bar.
Then from that icon, select Show Japanese Kana Palette.
Does it open for you now?

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

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

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.

Customize (shorten) list of languages in Character palette?

I often have to change the language for short text sections in a paragraph. I work with five languages, but of course, the language drop-down menu in InDesign’s Character palette shows all languages. I would like to reduce this menu to just the languages I need on a daily basis (e.g. English: USA, German and French).
I thought that “Edit” > “Menus” might help, but unless I missed something, it won’t.
So would I really have to remove all (Hunspell) dictionaries for the languages I don’t need? In InDesign CC on OS X, this is a 156 MB “bundle” (AdobeHunspellPlugin.bundle). Going in there, physically removing all language folders and editing the plist file as described in http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/add_cs_dictionaries.html#id_69116 seems a bit… brutal. Is there a more flexible approach?

Character Palette Not Working

I have the options in my International - Input Menu to show the character palette in the menubar. However, when I click on it nothing happens. I have tried all the suggestions I have found on these forums to make it appear, but nothing has worked. (Which has resulted in no longer having a .plist item for the palette, or any of the items in Library > Caches).
It almost seems like I no longer have a character palette to make appear anyway. But then why would I still have the option for it in the Input Menu?
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

Would it matter if the character palette shows up in the Components of the system (System/Library/Components), but not under my admin user (user/Library/Components)?
I don't know. There's no Components directory in my home Library and the one in the root-level library is empty, whereas /System/Library/Components/ is full.
If you want to resolve the conflict/corruption in the original admin account, you'll have to do something like this:
While logged into the newly created admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.
