Some corrections lost on save with Unicode font

Hi,
Has anyone had this problem? I have been working on a 300 page document using a Tibetan font as well as English for over a year now and we are on the final corrections. The editor mentioned that I seemed to be only half correcting some of the wrongly typed Tibetan words, which I thought odd. In order to correct a few letters in Tibetan I first highlight, then re-type and then I always save, as one does. If the word is still highlighted when I save (i.e. I have not clicked elsewhere on the page) then there is a chance that part of the corrections are not saved - I saw one of the letters disappear in front of my eyes! This must be a bug, surely?
It does not occur with English, only in Tibetan (in my experience, I have not tried other languages) and only it seems when I am typing a 'stack', i.e. one letter on top of the other, and then, if the highlight is still showing (it is yellow in this case not the usual blue) when I go to save, one of the letters disappears. If I go on to type more letters then the highlight disappears and there is no problem. I expect you can imagine the sense of frustration I feel that the editor and I have doubtless been continually repeating corrections throughout the document!
And while on the subject of saving, I cannot save in Pages 3 - and could not in Pages 2 either - using the command+S shortkey, which naturally works in every other program on my computer. It takes extra time and effort to have to save from the file menu each time. Does anyone have any suggestions why this is the case?
Best wishes

Which keyboard layout are you using when you type in Tibetan?
I toggle between XenoType Tibetan and Wylie from Chris Walker at http://www.tibetanportal.com/#keyboards. That means I can sometimes use both within a single word.
The save oddity may be linked to a "special" keyboard layout.
If you already own an application allowing us to link shortcuts to a script, I would be able to write an AppleScript whose task would be to save the frontmost document without using the cmd S shortcut.
I don't understand what you mean. I would actually prefer to do Command+S because then I would not be taking my eyes off the word, which is what has been happening I think, or I would surely have noticed earlier what was happening.

IOS6 JERKY SCROLLING, BROWSING WITH UNICODE FONTS

Unicode font have been used for many years.
We use Burmese Unicode fonts name Zawgyi Unicode font to view our language on web.
We use special apps (Mogok, Myanmar Browser lite) for viewing on iPhone and iPad as this font is not embeded.
They are OK to view all our language sites without problems prior iOS 6.
Now with iOS6, the problem comes.
Safari engine rendering for web pages causes those apps frozen.
If we type email with this unicode font, it is frozen.
Frozen means it freezes for 10 seconds on every action triggered from your touch.
Imagine how annoying!
Not even that font, Apple approved Myanmar Unicode font also have the same issue.
I have tested it already.
Here is the web link (http://chawsufoodfriends.blogspot.com) you can browse on iOS Safari and you won't see the language display but you will see what happening. If you download the apps that I have mentioned, you will be able to view the fonts.
I can send you test email and see the problem in Mail App as well.
This is not only happening on my iPhone and iPad...I have called my friends, and all have the same issue.
So, it is clearly A BIG BUG.
I love Apple products. But now I am very very frustrated how they manage, how they release products and softwares.
I have never seen it is released recklessly.
I don't find "Attention to Detail" anymore.
We are now holding back and reviewing for our next gadgets.. Thank you Apple.

I have a correspondence with a gentleman from Apple ( I would think he is from the developement team) and he said "I just saw your email with the sample text and confirmed that there is a problem reading the text. I will look into it and file the appropriate defect report."
So now our case is noticed and it will be taken care of appropriately.
Let's cross our fingers and see the wonderful result on the next update.
PS. Whoever read this thread and if you are concerned with Burmese fonts problems, please submit bugreport at Apple.
https://bugreport.apple.com/
If you need any assistance on submitting report, let me know. we will help you out on this forum.
Or you can find some discussion at this thread.
The more we submit bug report, the more it will be noticed by Apple Developers and it would be taken care of soon.
We will be very much appreciate with your help.
Thanks

Good word processing software with unicode font support?

If this is the wrong place, apols and please redirect me.
I stopped using MS Word v.x (2001) as it doesn't support Unicode fonts, which I absolutely need. I assume the latest Word/Office for Mac supports Unicode fonts (?), but it's too expensive, and also I always found that Word crashed a lot and I don't want to support Microsoft.
I've been using the cheap Mellel for several months. I applaud its producers, but it's far too lacking in features (e.g. no alphabetical sorting) and even after months of use is very counter-intuitive.
Can anyone recommend a good all-round word processor for Leopard on a Macbook Pro which is stable, supports unicode fonts, doesn't break the bank, and has comparable features to MS Word but preferably isn't MS Word?

Of all the word processors you are likely to come across, I think only Word X and AppleWorks, both essentially obsolete, do not support Unicode. Here is a list with summary info on each app that may be helpful:

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.

FW8 on OSX : UNICODE FONT TROUBLE

Well ... Hi !
Can someone help me ... I'm new on MAC OSX ... but I use to
work with FW !
On this OS, FW don't want to let me write with accent :
é, à, ï ... won't appear.
If I check with popchar the font table, i see that the accent
are in the unicode tab... so I suppose that FW have some trouble
with unicode font on mac.
I've read this
technote, but i didn't
find this file...
What can i do ?
THANX

I don't believe that you can type as you would with MS Word
or Illustrator and have the accented characters appear as you type.
However, you can create a text block and type with the keyboard
normally and when you require an accented character you can insert
one manually from the Special Characters panel as I mentioned in my
last reply.
One other option is to import your text from Photoshop CS2 or
Illustrator into Fireworks. See the Fireworks help menu for details
of how to do this. Text can be imported and remain editable or even
used as vector objects.
One final note; you could search for a Fieworks Extension
that may exist for creating the feature that you are after.

[SOLVED] mpd refuses to play songs with unicode in the filenames

Hi,
I've been using MPD+Sonata for a while now (two great pieces of software), unfortunately I just tried to play some songs stored in files with unicode characters (i think they're unicode, the ones with the accents, like 'è') and they refuse to play.
I modified my mpd.conf file to set filesystem_charset to both ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 (restarting mpd and rebuilding the DB each time) and then it simply refused to add the songs to the database. Furthermore, when I uncommented the line again, MPD still won't add them to the database.
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks in advance!

ah... ok! it seems that the problem is deeper than that. I have my music stored on an NTFS drive and it would appear that these files have disappeared, as far as linux is concerned. I'll move the thread to something more appropriate
And that was fixed by a remount. Sorry for wasting everyone's time! :-/

[SOLVED] Problem with Polish font

Hi!
I never had this problem before.
Lately I installed Arch and for some reason I have problems with Polish fonts.
Now google chrome (AUR) and Konsole have no pl chars at all.

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.)

Acrobat pro 9 - save with name lost format of document.

Hi all !!
When save with name a document after modify, it lost the format. A lot of words appear broken with a space between two letters:
Example:
Before " Your instructions were excellent "
After save with name: " Yo ur instru ctions were excell ent"
Why does this happen?
Thank you for help.

Very likely you have it set to embed the substitute fonts when you do a save as. I just had an issue with one sent to me that if I did a font embed (they were not embedded), the same thing happened. Instead of doing this, I simply printed to a new PDF (lose any bookmarks and such) and got what I wanted with all of the fonts embedded. I suspect your original did not have the fonts embedded and you are seeing the result. You might also check to see if you have Use Local Fonts selected or not, then reverse that selection and see if that helps.

Using Sinhala Unicode Fonts with Indesign

Hello,
We are having trouble using Sinhala Unicode Font with Indesign. We require this to covert content to the EPUB format.
Siyabas - how to install Sinhala Unicode
Do you know if there is a Plug-in for the Sinhala Unicode Font? Or is there someone in the community working on it?
Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for your post. We want to convert to reflow able text, which can include illustrations (For Example - Children's Books).
We tried FM Abbhaya Font as it is easy to read and using a traditional Sinhala keyboard input method.
For Some reason we cannot get this input to be recognized by Adobe Indesign, to convert to an Epub format.
We tried the open font on Windows, but it means selecting each character from a table. As a small publisher it is not practical.
In fact the ideal path for us will be to convert our printed books to Epubs using OCR.
Any thoughts on that? Thanks for your time.

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.

Illustrator dose not save with any text/fonts then locks up program

I will start off with.
I am using CS4 Design Premium with Windows 7.
For the last three weeks I had a problem with a few of the programs Illustrator, Indesign, Fireworks. Not saving while getting an error can’t save this file.
Also in Illustrator while it is loading running the splash page, as it loads the different files it stops and gives an error PFDFormat.ai is missing.
Now I worked with Abode for two of the three weeks. I finally figured out the problem. FONTS I remove a few fonts I recently installed. Great everything has worked for about 5 days and I am back to the font problem.
When I open Illustrator it loads fine but once I try to open a file or create a new file I get an error “unknown error has occurred”.
When I restart my computer then start illustrator when it opens it works with vector objects but no fonts at all. I tried to even use the default Myraid Pro no luck.
So in short when I try to put text in a file in any program of Adobe CS4 I can not save and it stops that program from working.
I know this is a font problem.
How can I remove all the extra fonts with out removing the required ones for Windows and Adobe? When can I find a list of the fonts?
I have also found before you install a particular font check the properties for that file some of them have a block/unblock this file. This is something I have not found if I do not do this will this cause the problem. I think that is the problem but still not sure which fonts are required and which ones I can delete.
I am looking for Windows 7 required fonts and
Adobe required fonts so I can delete all others.

If you are having a program loading and locking up fist thing check your fonts with a font program, it is worth the time. I have been working this problem for a month. I even had the Adobe support confused after they spend about 6 hours all together on my system they still did not figure it out. I did I have five different fonts corrupted. They were already installed I did not add any fonts either. Good luck everyone!

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)

My wife is very color deficient and has a hard time with the font colors in call log. Any way to change and does Apple have plans to correct?

My wife is color deficient and has a hard time with the font colors in the phone log and messaging. Is there any way to change color or background and does Apple have plans to correct this?

There are some minor settings in Accessibility that you can look at, however it really isn't much for color changing. As far as what Apple might have in mind, we are not Apple here, we are users like you. It is against the terms of service to speculate what Apple might have in mind.
