Simulate Unicode Font in a Design

I'm creating a t-shirt and I want to use the typeface Unicode 6.0 UTF-8, or a substitute. I've searched a lot, and it looks like that font is used in programs like Dreamweaver, TextWrangler, etc., but I can't find where to download the actual font, to use in a program like Illustrator or inDesign.
This is an example, using OCR-A font, but I really want the Unicode.

Sorry, but that's not a typeface you're describing, but rather an encoding. Pretty nearly all fonts these days use Unicode. UTF-8 is a specific way of representing Unicode text.... "Unicode 6.0 UTF-8" is kind of like saying ASCII or MacRoman or Win-ANSI. It describes a character set and encoding, not the name of a typeface or a font.
I think that TextWrangler used to use Monaco as the default font. I think they may have changed to Consolas (the big sibling product, BBEdit, uses Consolas, hence my theory). I would check my installation, but of course the first thing I do is mess with the default font settings....
On the Mac, Dreamweaver CS 5.5 defaults to Times New Roman in preview, and Monaco in code view.
So I think what you may be looking for is Monaco, which is a Mac system font. It isn't available on Windows, however. The closest alternative that is more broadly available would be Mark Simonson's Anonymous Pro, which is modeled in large part on Monaco. Or you might even want the older version, Anonymous, which has an "a" more similar to Monaco.
These are both available at no charge from the designer (despite the URL):

  • Flex3 Not Displaying Sinhala Unicode Fonts in the MXML File

    I am using Flex 3.2  for my project.
    I want use Sinhala Unicode Fonts But inside the Mxml File I cannot type the Sinhala Characters.
    When I change the Keyboard to Sinhaha inside the Flex3 Sinhala Characters are not dispalying.
    But when I run the application I can see the fonts in the Browser.
    I am using Windows 7.
    Thanks

    Thanks Tom. Yeah, I understand that PDFs are not designed to work like word-processing files, etc., and the need to have the Chinese text copy over well is really just to prove that the document is searchable (i.e. if it can copy a short section of text Ok, then it means the characters are recognized by the PDF reader and I can search the document, which is my main goal.)
    The problem I mentioned with Preview, etc., is actually a new one; one that has become a big problem for me only in the last few weeks. Before, I never had this issue. I'm not sure what changed, but I was suspecting MacKeeper and their "language cluster" cleaning feature, where it "helps" you by removing unused fonts. Though, I can't quite confirm that this has played a role. I just completely reinstalled the OS thinking that this would fix the issue by installing all the original fonts again, if MacKeeper did indeed remove the fonts these PDF programs use when editing or saving PDF files. However.....unfortunately....the problem is still here.
    So, that developer I mentioned in the first thread who said this is an OS X issue may indeed be correct.
    And just to be clear, I have confirmed that the PDF's I working with do have the fonts embedded already. It is only when I alter them and then save or export from Preview, Skim, Nomad, etc., that the character information gets stripped out and I'm left with a document that one can read but cannot search. I can't even OCR it because this problem also affects my OCR software, as if it can't get access to the fonts needed to embed in the recognized PDF.
    Any other thoughts? I'd appreciate any you have.

  • How to make Crytstal Report Viewer support with Khmer Unicode Font

    Dear all,

    Sochinda  forget about what K wrote. You can not use the crviewer.dll (also known as active X viewer) - of any version in any version of .NET.
    1) It is not supported - in any and all versions of CR
    2) With some versions of CR, you are breaking your license agreement; CR 9.2, 10.2, 10.5, CRVS2010 (13.0)
    Please do see the link Don provided. Also see my blog here:

    Yes.. you can just open the forms of 4.5 with Forms Designer 6.0.
    The conversion takes place automatically, however, you might have
    to take in consideration that if you are using certain fucntions
    of Forms 4,5, in which some parameters are optional, then those
    might be mandatory in Forms 6.0.

  • SP 2013 Development - How can I Simulate Different Devices to Help Design and Test a New UI?

    Hello Community!
    I am working with SharePoint 2013 and I need to be able to design and test a new design across multiple device browsers.  Does anyone know how to simulate a device browser for design and testing?  BTW, I know about Device Channels, and they give
    me a way to dynamically change my UI for different device browsers, but because this UI is complex, I cannot be sure what dynamic changes need to occur until I can simulate the device browsers and view my new UI in them.
    Thanks!

  • Need help with Tamil unicode fonts in Macbook OSX 10.6.7

    I am really desperate for some help figuring out my Tamil unicode font problem. With great difficulty I got all these fonts set up on my previous ibook G4. When that computer died in the fall I got this new Macbook, and had all my data brought from the old computer to the new one. Fonts were working great, as before. Well recently I had a hard drive failure on my new Macbook (OSX 10.6.7). I now have a new hard drive, and I brought over all my data from an external hard drive using Time Machine. Everything appeared to be working great....except the Tamil fonts. Previously I was using Murasu Anjal unicode font which allowed me to type in Tamil font and view Tamil on webpages, no problem. I understand that Snow Leopard has Tamil font support (including Anjal), so I am confused as to why they were working before but are not working now-especially because on my husband's Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.5) you can see Tamil fonts on webpages and he has no special Tamil font installed whatsoever. For me the only thing visible is boxes. I am in the midst of finishing up a dissertation which is really dependent on being able to read and write in Tamil fonts. I am desperate to get this fixed but just cannot seem to figure it out. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice!!! Thanks so much!!!

    I've always used the Anjal keyboard with no problem...at least there was no problem before my MacBook hard drive had to be replaced, with a newer operating system, as I had mentioned previously. When I type in Pages, NeoOffice or TextEdit, the results are the same. Many of the characters show up, but vowel combinations--especially the "o" or "u" vowels--show up incorrectly or are unintelligible. Strangely, typing in Tamil font (using Anjal keyboard) in internet searches works perfectly, but ONLY in Firefox (?) NOT in the Safari browser. Prior to re-installing the InaiMathi font, which had seemingly vanished with the transfer of my data to the new hard drive, I was unable to type Tamil anywhere, not even in Firefox. Now it works only in Firefox. For example, if I were to type in Tamil in this window, it works fine: தமிழ் நாடு. 
    Being able to do Tamil searches in Firefox as I had previously is really a major boon for me, but of course I'd love to be able to produce Tamil text, especially as I am about to embark on a 6 month research jaunt to South Asia.
    Many thanks for all your help thus far, and for any further advice you might have.

  • Bengali Unicode fonts in InDesign CS6

    Dear InDesign Gurus,
    How do I type using "Bengali" (Unicode) fonts in InDesign CS6?  I've tried to copy/paste the text from an existing word document on to an InDesign document, but it shows up with square blocks!   I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64Bit OS.
    Is this even possible?  Would someone please provide me some detail steps?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Simon

    Cyndee,
    As I said, I'm fairly new in ID, would you kindly tell me the steps so that I know what to do?
    Ellis,
    I am working with a ID Magazine template.  Obviously the template has blocks and pre-written text inside those blocks.  If I try to delete the text (without deleting the BOX + contents within) and paste the Bengali text from some other document, some of the characters do not stay in place.  Whereas, if I just create a text box and paste the text inside the new box, texts show properly. 
    So my question to you Gurus is... how can keep the template I'm using and just replace the text within text box and save time.   Would someone plz guide me?
    Thanks for your professional help!

  • Unicode Font in a PDF report (iTextSharp)

    I tried to use unicode font  (Arial Unicode MS - arialuni.ttf) in a PDF document generated with iTextSharp.  I am able to create the PDF document with this font.
    In the  iTextSharp documentation, we are suppose to be able to send unicode, but I don't understand how to do this in Labview.
    I read A List of Tips and Tools for using Unicode in LabVIEW but I am stuck.  Any ideas?

    Free PDF Report with iTextSharp

    I don’t have the new version in my actual computer. I will go by memory.
    1)      I found no way to connect a LabVIEW string to an Unicode iTextSharp phrase or paragraph;
    2)      The only way I found is to add a .NET string (mscorlib.system.string --> Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane) to an iTextSharp phrase or paragraph.
    3)      You construct this .NET string with an array of UTF16.
    To construct the U16[ ]:
    1)    I wrote the text in NotePad (Unicode).  
    2)    I copy the string in a LabVIEW string (not Unicode);
    3)    I remove the BOM;
    4)    I swap the bytes (2 bytes by to 2 bytes) and I typecast in U16.

  • Prs-t1 is not properly rendering indic unicode fonts. Works fine in prs-t2

    Hi
    prs-t1 is not properly rendering indic unicode fonts (Hindi, Telugu etc).  Same epub works fine in prs-t2 and it renders the fonts properly.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

     Hi
    “Ind” had emailed me, a file with a font issue.
    On his first post, he wrote: “…prs-t1 is not properly rendering indic unicode fonts (Hindi, Telugu etc).  Same epub works fine in prs-t2 and it renders the fonts properly…”
    Even I had the same results.
    Only ReaderforPC and PRS-T1 had such font issue.
    All other softwares (MS Word, MS Notepad, Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre, Sigil, etc) and PRS-T2 are viewing Indic Unicode fonts correctly.
    I had copied the “defective” text from ReaderforPC and pasted it on MS Word. But surprise! The same text on MS Word had no font issue anymore!!!!
    That means: “the file is without font issue!"
    The issue is on "Reader for PC" software and on PRS-T1’s firmware!
    Probable solutions.
    For Sony Software Developers:
    Correct ReaderforPC software.
    Correct PRS-T1 firmware.
    For all other in order to read ebooks with Indic Unicode fonts (Hindi, Telugu, etc.):
    Use Sony PRS-T2/T3 Reader Device
    On PC use:
    --Adobe Digital Editions http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-editions.html (to read ebooks with Adobe DRM or DRM-free)
    --Calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/ to read DRM-free ebooks
    --Sigil (free epub editor) http://code.google.com/p/sigil/  to modify ebooks (only DRM-free ebooks)
    -- or other software

  • Can't use Cambodian unicode font

    I tried to create a new page in Dreamweaver 8 and attempting
    to use Cambodian (Khmer) unicode font, but it does not show all the
    upper and lower script. Even though I changed the New Document page
    and it still does the same. Anyone has any idea?

    When I try to use Symbol font and display it in
    JLabel, it show a square.
    i have read the article written by John O'Conner
    http://www.joconner.com/javai18n/articles/TextDisplay.htm.
    Much of that article is now incorrect or unnecessary for JDK 1.5. Because 1.5 knows how to find a font for the character you're trying to display, you should be able to set your label font to any logical font, and the JRE should find a substitute font if necessary that can display the character.
    I'll give your code a try and will post results...is the code you've posted the code I should actually experiment with? It seems like you should want to display something different than 0x0065.
    Your other questions:
    0x0021 is the exclamation mark regardless of font. I see what you mean, however, since the wingdings font in charmap also says 0x0021. However, that mapping is obviously not a Unicode code point mapping.
    I looked in the Misc. Symbols and Dingbats section of Uncode. A few characters might be a reasonable substitution for the pencil character you want:
    0x270E (LOWER RIGHT PENCIL)
    0x270F (PENCIL)
    0x2710 (UPPER RIGHT PENCIL)
    I didn't see any mirror images of these, ie LOWER LEFT PENCIL and UPPER LEFT PENCIL, although I admit that I didn't look closely.
    Maybe one of these will work for you instead of the Wingdings 0x21 character you mentioned.

    Thanks for providing those valuable information. it does help to understand some international issue.
    however, I am not sure if it apply to Symbol font such as Wingdings, webdings.
        Font fontPalatino = new Font( "Palatino LinoType", Font.PLAIN, 25); //unicode font

              // use integer number and convert into equivalent character
              // e.g. if i is 65 then c is A.
              // notes: 65 is a decimal value converted from hex 0041 value

  • Can I use Type -- 'convert to outline' in Illustrator on Typekit fonts I've 'designated for desktop use'? I've not been able to as of yet.

    I'm trying to print vinyl letters for a gallery I'm a member of and love the Cronos Pro regular font. i've designated this for desktop use and created 24 name files at 200pt. The person working with the vinyl asked if I could 'convert to outline' possibly to make the font a bit larger, I don't really know. When I tried to do this, I found that choice grayed out on the type menu. I am wondering if this means the Typekit fonts 'designated for desktop use' simply do not have the permission to be 'converted to outline'.

    Cutting always requires proper paths/ outlines. This has nothing to do with the font or large format printing per se. Beyond that there should be no limitation in using fonts - as long as you can mangle them in AI, it means that somewhere those outlines exist internal to the program so the type can actually be rendered. Whatever prevents this may more likely be inherent in how you treat your text. you would have to provide more specific info on that. Either way, ask in the AI forum for more detailed answers.
