Technophobe having Phonetic Font Trouble :( :( :(

Hi All!
Im currently trying to write my university dissertation and need to use phonetic symbols! I have found a font to download (Doulous Sil) and downloaded it from their website. The folder containing the font was downloaded onto my computer as normal (and can be found in downloaded items box). However, Im not sure what to do now! I've dragged the font into library/fonts and fontbook but can't access it from Word at all I've tried on my ibook G4 and my dads new iMac!
Please help! (As if dissertations weren't stressful enough!!)
Cheers

I've done it but the font still
doesn't show up in my font list on Word. When I go
into Insert/Symbol there are lots of symbols that
just have a question mark.....
Are you using WordX? It can't do Unicode and so it can't use modern fonts like that. You need to use Word2004, TextEdit, Pages, Mellel, Nisus Writer Express, NeoOffice, or OpenOffice.
Or you could perhaps use the old pre-Unicode fonts, but I would advise against it as Unicode is the agreed international standard.

  • Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! They said it should be pulsating but it's not

    Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! I already read some reviews and discussion about this. They said that the lightning bolt should pulsate when charging but it's not!

    Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
    A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
    I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
    What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
    Why does it change?
    Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
    Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
    I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...

    You can likely download the last compatible version by:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Why am I having so much trouble downloading ios 5?

    I can not download the ios 5 update to my Mom's iphone 3gs. I have tried from itunes. I have tried direct download. I have downloaded and used the internet download manager. I am still having difficulty in getting the update to download. It seems to get so far and stops. I can not figure out what to do next.  I did mine without any problems, but I am having so much trouble with hers. I hope someone can help me. I appreciate the help in this matter.

    I just uploaded the latest IPad software to my IPad and am now having loads of trouble with the device recognizing "online buttons", that is, links, etc.  what can I do?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I  have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8.  Many of my appliatins will not work..  HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

    I  have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8.  Many of my applications will not work..  HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

    Before you revert anything try this:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Next time don't post something like "nothing but trouble." Tell us exactly what the trouble is and provide any additional information such as error messages.

  • Why am I having so much trouble installing Flash Player 17?

    Hello,
    I have installed and updated Flash Player since 1999, but never with so much trouble as with the latest version- 17.
    My pc runs Windows 7 64-bit with Internet Explorer 11. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps listed on the Adobe website with no luck.
    I am logged in as administrator, but when I go to a website the permission message pops up at the bottom of the page, as normal after updating,
    "This webpage wants to run the following add-on; ' Adobe Flash Player' from Adobe Systems Incorporated'.
    Whether I click on Allow or click on the dropdown and click on Allow for all websites, does not matter. It will not work and the permission bar stays up.
    Can somebody please help??
    Thanks,
    Dake

    I replied to another instance of this post (Why am I having so much trouble installing the latest version of Flash Player to use in IE?).  Locking this one.

  • Phonetic fonts

    Hi,
    How can I do to display phonetic fonts in a TextField on a Frame?. I am trying to display IPA type font and I have install it but when I try to display it some square are displayed.
    Thanks in advance

    I'm using the SILDoulosUnicodeIPA fonts with Swing. You need to place the font files into the ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/fonts/ directory. Once the fonts are in the correct directory, you can create a font using the font's postscript name. Here is some sample code that I use:
    JTextField comp = new JTextField();
    comp.setFont(new Font("SILDoulosUnicodeIPA", Font.PLAIN, 20));
    ....It also helps to override the paint function to anti-alias the fonts in the text field.
    JTextField comp = new JTextField() {
                           public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
                        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
                            g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING,
                            RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);
                               g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_FRACTIONALMETRICS,
                            RenderingHints.VALUE_FRACTIONALMETRICS_ON);
                               super.paintComponent(g2);
    ....This displays the font nicely. I love the SIL Unicode fonts, they're free and very extensive.

  • Phonetic fonts display

    Certain things in Mail and on some websites are displaying in a phonetic font which is impossible to read. Obviously some sort of conflict. I can identify the fonts, but sometimes they are needed by software so I'm reluctant to delete any.

    annestott,
    Do you have any duplicate fonts? If so, use the resolve duplicates instructions in that link.

    I'm having lots of trouble finding semi-decent equipment at an affordable price. I would like to start a podcast with two hosts and I have a macbook pro that i purchased in april 2011. any suggestions?

    I should keep it simple - if you start getting involved with mixers and multiple microphones you will find the cost escalating  alarmingly. If you can get yourself a decent microphone and spend some time doing tests to find the best way of balancing the voices you should be able to get acceptable results. You can't plug an ordinary microphone directly into a Mac - you would need a mixer or a preamplifier - so it's probably worth looking at USB mics. I don't know what cost range is available, and you would have to check that they would work with your Mac. Otherwise you will need an ordinary moving-coil mic and probably a USB audio converter which can accept a microphone - look at the Roland site.

  • CanI downgrade back to the previous, non4.0 version? I am having too much trouble with 4.0

    How can I downgrade back to the previous, non4.0 version? I am having too much trouble with 4.0, such as:
    1) cannot save multible tabs in bookmarks
    2) 4.0 is not faster, perhaps even slower
    3) crashes often, especially when I scroll through my emails in Yahoo email.
    4) Moved the "stop loading" and "refresh" buttons to the right, ala MS Internet Explorer. I liked your old location better.
    Thank you,
