RSS not displaying correct characters - DMM 5.2

Hi all,
I have recently bumped into the following issue.
I have setup the php proxy and tested it using various rss feeds (e.g google) with success.
Though, if i try to load some Greek Rss Feeds i get some really strange(unreadable form,mixed characters etc) rss feeds strolling in our LCDs.
Someone could tell that Greek Fonts are not currently supported by DMM 5.2 but i can only say that while being under 5.1 we could retrieve and display Greek Rss Feeds with success.
What has really changed to 5.2 version?
Is this a limitation of flash???
Thank you all!

I tried
http://www.sigmalive.com/rss/latest/7
via the Web Browser plane and it appears to display the Greek
with no issues.
As I noted before, the problem is with Digital Media Designer(DMD) in
5.2. Greek is not supported.
If you create a web page or presentation with RSS feed (greek) with a
"Different" tool or application it ** SHOULD ** work.
Try and let me know if it works or not..
T.

Emails and RSS not displaying correctly

I have had this issue for a while, it's not a big issue but is very annoying.
When I receive an email or open an RSS feed story that has a banner or some kind of graphic embedded into it, it won't display the images.
For example, I got an email from Ticketmaster today about upcoming concerts, it read like this:

Is there something wrong with my settings in Mail? or is it something to do with the way these messages are sent out.

I just wanted to send an update to let everyone know I was able to get my issue fixed (after about an hour with the chat support) and one nof the steps was obvious while the other was not. Sticky Footer was enabled so when the browser window was enlarged vertically, it introduced the white space. Removing the checkmark from that box fixed that issue. Regarding the header giving white space, the tech support person took control of my computer because they weren't have the same issue when I sent them my file which was very odd. They did some fiddling about with the header and grouping of elements in the header and were finally able to get the white bar to disappear when viewed in Preview and on a web browser. They couldn't give me a specific reason why it did that or why what they did fixed it. So, sadly not a lot to go on for how to fix the problem other than 'fiddle around with it till it works,' which is frustrating at best.
Thanks again for your willingness to help me out. I hope your issue gets fixed Barbara. If you haven't already, you should chat support on your issue.

Problems with Turkish characters not displaying correctly

A user is having problems with certain Turkish characters in particular fonts not displaying correctly (as shown below).
The two fonts (Gill Sans and Helvetica LT CondensedLight) are used for English language marketing material. Ideally, for continuity, the same font would be preferred for our Turkish language marketing material rather than changing it to a similar font.
Helvetica LT CondensedLight
Turkish character “ İ ” does not display correctly in either Word or InDesign.
Gill Sans
Turkish characters “ ş ” and “ ğ ” display correctly in Word but not InDesign.
My questions are:
1. For Gill Sans, why are the characters not displaying in InDesign but are in Word?
2. I've noticed here: http://www.webtype.com/font/gill-sans-family/#glyphs-tab that the required characters are available within the Gill Sans font. Is this because the font is newer and includes the additional characters? Would this work in InDesign?

One of the big differences between InDesign and Word is that Word will happily substitute glyphs without telling you. So, unless your installs of Word and of InDesign are using different versions of Gill Sans (which is possible, BTW) then your s-with-cedilla and your g-with-macron are actually not in Gill Sans but in some other font. I'm guessing Arial.
It's possible that you have more than one Gill Sans installed (e.g. one in your Document Fonts folder and another in your system fonts folder) that have different glyph complements. Gill Sans has been around a long time, and the version I have from the 90s has no Turkish support whatsoever.
As far as the capital-I-with-dot, you can check your glyph coverage in a variety of ways. In both InDesign and Word, you can open up a window that shows you all of the glyphs in a font. In InDesign, find it in Type -> Glyphs. In Word, it's called "Insert Symbol" and you can find it in Word 2010 by going to Insert -> Symbol -> More Symbols. I am guessing that the answer to this question is simply that your cut of Helvetica LT has no cap-I-with-dot. You'd need to pick a font that actually has support for Turkish. On WIndows, I use a very full-featured freebie called BabelMap to check font coverage. They have a Web version here:
http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Unicode/babelmap.html
but I personally prefer the downloadable .exe file.

Thai characters not displaying correctly within App

Hi everyone,
I have a Adobe Flex Mobile app displays Thai text, however this is not displaying correctly. While developing the App on my Windows machine and testing using the Adobe Flash Builder mobile emulator, the font/characters look correct.
However when running the app on either the MAC Adobe Flash Builder emulator, the iPhone simulator or on an actual iPhone, the font/characters are incorrect.
First I thought that it was maybe an encoding issue (I am using locale properties files to replace text), so followed instructions at this website Flash Builder, Flex language bundles showing strange symbols. Not utf8 encoded.Sefol however this did not solve the issue.
Looking more closely at the text rendered, it looks as though all of the characters for each word are actually being rendered, but they are just being rendered in correctly. Where as if it was a encoding issue then it would be missing characters completely.
So if you look at the first character, in the correct version it is built up of 3 components. If you look at the second image, you can see that these three components are present but just not all appearing within one character.
Is this a font issue? or is it actually an encoding/rendering issue?
My code for testing this is just a simple label tag
<s:Label text="ชื่อผู้ใช้" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" />
Many thanks.

Ok so after doing a bit more of an investigation into the Font being the issue and not the encoding type, it seems as though if I use a specific font which I know has the Thai characters, then they are displayed correctly.
I have embedded the font into the App using the code:
[Embed(source="../assets/Kinnari.ttf", mimeType="application/x-font", embedAsCFF="true", fontFamily="ThaiFont")]
private var ThaiFont:Class;
Then on my UI I have added the font:
<s:Label text="ชื่อผู้ใช้" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" fontFamily="ThaiFont" />
I was able to find this font at a Hawaiian Educational website! Thai fonts :: Thai Language Program, University of Hawai'i, Manoa
Thanks @tooMuchTrouble for your help.

German Special Characters not displayed correctly in RTF using code

Hi ,
In my code we are using webdynpro method
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
byte[] data, String resourceName,WDWebResourceType
Type)
Here in our code we are implementing this as
ITemplateElement templateEl = wdContext.currentTemplateElement();
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
templateEl.getReportData(),
reportName.substring(0, reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
WDWebResourceType.RTF); reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
Here templateEl.getReportData() returns a set of bytes which has some
german special characters.
We are generating the Bytes using String.getByes(),Just before
String text = new String(in);
collector.putBusinessObject(boName, bo);
reportDocTemplateParser(collector, text);
collector.removeBusinessObject(boName);
String generatedText = collector.generateRTF();
out = (null != generatedText) ? generatedText.getBytes() : null;
The out put is the if i am giving a word with german special characters for eg:
Betriebsübersichten it first gets converted to bytes and then passes through method WDResouseFactory.createResourse(.....) which creates an RTF file and finally in the RTF file it appears as Betriebsbbersichten the special character is not displayed correctly.
i came to knw that while converting into bytes we have to make it RTF supported encoding.ie for eg generatedText.getBytes('cp1252').i even tried with other charactersets like ISO-8859,cp1253 and so on but none of them worked.
It would be really great if you could suggest the needful.
Thanks and Regards
Neeta

I soved this by using get_data function of response object. Then converting this into ISO-8859-1 charset.
See code below.
DATA : lv_encoding   TYPE abap_encoding,
          lv_conv       TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce,
          lv_x_string   type xstring.
lv_x_string = pv_http_client->response->get_data( ).
    lv_encoding = '1100'.
    lv_conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create(
                          encoding = lv_encoding
                             input = lv_x_string ).
    lv_conv->read( IMPORTING data = pv_result ).

Accented characters do not display correctly if there is a variable beside it

Hello,
We are experiencing a problem when we have text with accented characters an a variable beside it within the same text box.
The problem is that the accented characters in the text do not display correctly in the preview or publised course to Flash9
These characters display correctly in Captivate in edit mode.
This is the process we have followed:
Export to XML
Translated
Import XML
Publish to Flash9
Captivate version: 4
OS: Windows Vista SP2
We have tried to work with locale in Spanish with no luck, the only solution we have found is to put the text and the variable in different text boxes
I have pasted an image of the preview and also of the text in Captivate edit mode.
Any help will be very welcomed !
Tess

Hi there
I agree with Lilybiri that you should definitely file a Bug Report.
However, a thought occurs here. Have you tried placing the accented text in a User Defined variable?
Assuming this is a workaround, my thought is that you could then just have a caption with two variables. The User Defined variable containing the accented text followed immediately by the system variable providing the Project Name.
Cheers... Rick

Certain special characters do not display correctly in Firefox ( font COLOR="#1f1a17" FACE="Symbol" SIZE="3" ¬ /font ). Is there a fix?

Certain special characters which display correctly in Explorer do not display correctly in Firefox. Example: ¬
Is there a fix?

The symbol font usually doesn't work in Firefox, a website needs to use an Unicode replacement or an HTML entity to specify such a character.

Webservice: Special characters not displayed correctly

Hi,
I'm facing a problem when retrieving informations via a webservice. I'm able to use it and data is retrieved but when there are special characters into the response they are not displayed correctly. Repsonse of the webservice is XML formatted.
It seems to be a charcter set problem, strange thing is that the response is ISO-8859-1 formatted, this charset should normally display special characters like (é à ...) correctly.
In my code I simply use an if_http_client object to use the webservice.
pv_result = pv_http_client->response->get_cdata( ).
Xml repsonse :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<![CDATA[Eetcaf�/Steakhuis Baskent]]>
Should be Eetcafé
How can I specify a charset for the response object?
I did the same in .NET, where I can bypass this issue specifying the charset like this.
Dim reader As New StreamReader(oResponse.GetResponseStream(), System.Text.Encoding.Default)
Thanks a lot for your help.

Characters not displayed correctly

Hi,
After support package installation, chararcters are not displayed correctly when i use application server,
for example when i write internal table into a file in text mode and read it after into attachment in binary mode
but characters are not correct. And after mail sent, the half or file is sent, not all data available.
What could be the reason?
Char exp in debug of attachment: ㅔ䠰㘹㌲〰㤰㘰㌍ਲ䙈〶㤳㈰〹
I get above char after i read the file, code like following:
do.
clear attch.
read dataset filename into attch.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
append attch.
exit.
endif.
append attch.
enddo.
Thanks.

I think this problem is some what related to Unicode and you should use Encoding statements whith ur open dataset stetement as follows.
open dataset ....................Encoding UTF-8.
Encoding UTF-8 is for unicode environment.
Hope this will help u.

Arabic text not displaying correctly in Win Server 2008 R2

Hi,
We have an .mdb database stored on our Windows Server 2008 R2 server but when we view the contents some of the text has strange characters.
When we view the same db in Windows Server 2003 we do not have these characters. I'm not sure what exactly we need to do to correct this issue..
Any suggestions welcome..

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
When you open a Web page or a text file that contains a string of Arabic characters, the string is not displayed correctly. This issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
The Left-to-Right Override (LRO) Unicode control character is used in the string of Arabic characters.
You specify a font that is not Simplified Arabic Fixed.
Please apply the hotfix below:
Incorrectly displayed Arabic characters in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

And check the result.

Pdf not displayed correctly in preview

We have a new A) scanner (colortrac Ci40) and when we scan a pdf it is displayed in preview as if it is all wrinkled up.
Only in prewiew and if imorted in vectorworks. (on both OSX 10.5 and 10.6)
The same problem appears on a iPad.
It is not displayed correctly.
In all other programms I tried it is displayed properly.
We also have a small a4/a3 scanner from konica minolta and these scans display corectly in preview.
Is this only a preview problem and should I ignore it?

Hi there,
I have a very similar problem: a number of pdf files that I can see perfectly well in Safari/GoogleChrome do NOT show correctly in Preview or ANY iPad app I have (Notability, Adobe, PDF Expertm iAnnotate, Dropbox etc.).
The problem is that punctuation -- with the expection of periods or bolded text -- does not show properly. For example, commas and quotation marks to not show, and some numbers to not show.
Moreover, once I have annotated/viewed the problematic file on the IPad and resync to dropbox to view on Mac vis Adobe (which I do with most pdf files with no problems), I get an error message upon reopening the pdf file saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FAFWQV+--unknown-2--'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." (the 'quoted' text changes each time). When opening in Preview, no error message appears, though the fole is still lacking punctuation etc.
Here is a link to one problematic pdf:http://niis.cass.cn/upload/2012/12/d20121201200145301.pdf
NB: the file is in Mandarin, however I can successfully open/edit/annotate/sync other pdfs using Mandarin font so I'm not sure if the language is related to the problem.
I would be extremely grateful for some help with this please!
Thanks!

Umlauts not displayed correctly

Hi,
We have developed a screen in 12.1 and the umlauts (German & Spanish) are not display correctly. Is there a language pack / custom actions we need deploy for this to work properly?
Regards,
Chanti.

Its those special characters with a pair of dots on their head, like ä etc. These are not being displayed properly in the Web UI screens after upgrading to 12.1.
These special characters are coded in the alert/warning/error messages in a .js file. Two things here -
i) When we did the migration from 11.5 to 12.1, those got transformed to a [] (read squarebox) sorts. Are these something that the migration tool can't handle as desired?
ii) We fixed these characters manually in the code in 12.1. But when we run the script they are still not displayed correctly in the Web UI, for instance ä is being displayed as A~, something like that. Wondering if we need to deploy some custom actions or add a line at the top of .js or .html code?
Regards,
Chanti.

Google fonts not displaying correctly since updating to Firefox 31.0

Since updating to Firefox 31.0, the vast majority of Google / web fonts are not displaying correctly, including icons that are being replaced with random characters. When I view the Google web fonts page, only a few display correctly, the rest just default to a sans-serif font.
- I've tried running in safe mode with no add-ons enabled.
- I've tried disabling all add-ons then re-enabling one by one.
- I've checked the tickbox in the font settings for 'Allow pages to use their own fonts' is ticked
Any help appreciated, it's got quite frustrating now.
Thanks, Greg

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
*[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check for problems with preferences.
You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Website not displaying correctly. Firefox is changing the character set to Western (ISO-8859-1) automatically.

Normally I have set Firefox (or it's set by default) to Character Set Unicode (UTF-8) and everything displays perfectly. I've never had a problem before.
Now however, whenever I upload my own website, for some bizarre reason on that particular tab (and only that tab) the Character Set is changed over to Western (ISO-8859-1) and then there's a few characters within my site that do not display correctly, namely apostrophes and hypens.
It definitely isn't my software (Serif WebPlus X4) because the page displays correctly in every other browser. Plus it displays correctly in Firefox if I change the Character set back to Unicode.
PS The site is a work in progress

That happens because the server sends a content-type (text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1) via the HTTP response headers and in that case that content type prevails. The page code is saved with an UTF-8 byte order mark (ï»¿) that you see in this case.

Symbol font is not displaying correctly on mozilla 23.0.1?

I am displaying a html page inside a frame having some Maths symbols, using SYMBOL font. but these symbols are not display correct on mozilla browser. provide some solution.

Hi sangeeta, the problem with writing code to solve this problem is that you likely need to create a table or a pair of arrays to contain the corresponding characters. As long as you are going to do that, it might be easier to edit the pages. Or add an external script to those pages to "fix" the references.
If you are saying that the HTML pages are out of your control, that's harder...
Is it an option to load the page dynamically onto your server so it can be processed by ASP.Net and then served using a URL from your server?
If not, are your page and the framed page on the same server? In that case, perhaps a JavaScript function that "fixes" the page could be useful.
If not, it's hard to see how you can overcome the "same origin" security constraints and get to the framed page.
