Unicode Symbols in Shared Font Libraries

I am working on a project using an unusual unicode glyph set.
The language is Salish, a Native American language of the
Northwestern United States. I can get the glyphs to show up when I
embed the unicode font directly into the text field with the unique
characters added to the embedded font list, but they don't show up
when I use the same font that is included through a shared font
library. Is there a way to make sure the font library I create by
making font symbols contains and displays the glyphs I need?
Thanks.

I've never found a way. Sorry. If you do I would love to find
out about it. Now Salish that is some language!

Firefox will no longer display Unicode symbols after update?

I am using Firefox on Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Just about two Firefox updates ago (roughly Firefox 14), Unicode symbols suddenly stopped displaying that had been displaying fine—switching to boxes with numbers in them.
I have changed my Encoding options to include every single form of Unicode available to me; I am not sure if that has any effect. (Screenshot here: http://puu.sh/QcF6 ) The best part? After doing so, restarting the browser makes the Unicode symbols appear again! No more boxes with numbers! Fixed, right?
''Nope''! When I come back to that page a week later, they are numbers in a box again. In fact, in some cases, the symbol will display temporarily (say, if I had saved it into a blog page), then when I go to edit that blog page, the symbol immediately switches back to box-with-numbers.
This is driving me mad, and was not previously an issue. What can I do to fix this?

Sorry for the late reply, I was waiting for the issue to re-occur. I have cleared and checked for damaged fonts, to no avail; the problem still exists. :(
'''Edit:''' In addition, I've just checked in both Chrome and Safari, and the Unicode symbol that I'm attempting to display are working fine in both of those browsers.

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.

Unicode symbols not showing up?

Hi. I currently experiencing issues with Unicode symbols/characters on my Mac. Some of them just won't show up. Currency symbols, such as the are turned into a square. The same thing goes for all the 2C00-2D00 symbols listed in this Unicode table. I've been looking for Unicode font downloads, but I can't find them anywhere. D: Any solutions to this are much appreciated. Thanks.
ETA: Oh snap! I just realized that I should have posted in the Snow Leopard section. Would a mod/admin please move it there? ^^;;

How to include certain shared fonts (AS2 on CS3)

Hey everyone,
I have a project which uses three different embedded fonts within it across a number of different swfs. As a result i have a separate fonts.swf file which contains the fonts and then i share them (so as not to have to load them within each swf file). The problem is that the three fonts can change depending on certain variables passed into the main swf file so the fonts.swf file actually contains about 12 fonts. Which three fonts are used are defined within the variables that are passed into the main swf file. Whilst this works fine it means that each time i have to load all 12 fonts which makes for a large filesize and takes quite a while to download on a slow connection (plus i want to add more fonts in the future).
I can't for the life of me work out how to dynamically embed shared fonts so i only have to load the 3 fonts that are actually needed. I am currently using this method but this involves manually placing a movieclip on the stage (or exporting it in the first frame). I can't see how to do this using AS2 (which would allow me to create a separate swf for each font). Similarly if i use a shared library i'm not sure how i would go about only importing certain libraries using AS2 (rather than doing it manually).
I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could point me towards the right way of doing this as i'm not sure what to do at this stage.
Thanks so much for your help in advance,
Dave

To correctly use bold and italic style you have to embed a separate font for each in the library and set the font style in the font properties.
With the TextFormat whole text is put on one font so you have to to the following then:
txtExample.htmlText = "I am bold I am italic I am default".
There is no other way than to use the font face property in html text to have different text styles within one TextField.
("bold" and "italic" are the linkage ids in the library)

Shared fonts character set

Hi all,
I've got a big problem with font handling in flash. I'm
currently developing a international multilingual site.
I'm using shared fonts to be able to load different
font-files for different languages.
My problem is how to create font files with different
character sets?
If I create a font symbol in the library and assign a Class
to the symbol and check Export for ActionScript it works fine for
Latin1 ( I think it's Latin1 ).
I can see in the size report that the correct characters are
exported.
Now let's say I wanted to export a file with Thai characters.
If I add a dynamic textfield on stage, set font to my font-symbol
in the library and embed Thai characters and export I still get
Latin1 characters.
If I then uncheck Export for ActionScript end export I get
the correct characters. The problem is that if I dont have any
Class tied to the font I cant access it in my FontManager class. My
FontManager loads and registers the fonts available to the app. I
then query the FontManager for the "bold" font or "regular" etc
etc.
For this to work need a reference to the class to be able to
get the properties of the font, fontName, fontStyle and fontType. I
also have to register the font class with Font.registerFont( Class
I've even tried to change system language om my computer
without luck.
Any ideas anyone?

Open a DOS window and do the following :
- set the codepage 1252
C:\> chcp 1252
- change the DOS window font to "Lucida Console".
- set NLS_LANG environment variable, for example
C:\> set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 (change language and territory with yours, if different)
- enter sqlplus and try
SQL> select chr(176) from dual;

Shared font does not work when changed

Hi, I am using a shared font in an eLearning course. The font
is in a separate library file and is used in all pages. But if I
change the font in the font properties, the text in the other pages
does not show up. Has any one come across a solution for this
issue?
Thanks.

Forms 2.1 calling shared object libraries

Can Forms 2.1 on Solaris 2.6 make calls to shared object
libraries? What are the limitations / issues?
I have a large legacy COBOL program which I would like to
restructure and capture the business rule implementations into
shared object libraries. I would then like to implement a new UI
(character or GUI) for part of the system in Forms. I would
consider using forms built in features for getting data from the
database but all inserts updates and deletes will go through the
business rule layer implemented in COBOL and deployed as shared
object libraries on unix.
Any and all help is appreciated.

I have used Foreign Function Interface call (FFI) in Forms 5.0

You may be able to do the same thing (use FFI) to call shared

Using Shared Object Libraries

How (or what) do we set when using shared object libraries?
We have Java Native Methods which are implemented using C++ and stored in shared object libraries. We can build our project, but when trying to execute the project, the shared object libraries are not found. We had tried to set the external execution settings to include the library paths, but nothing seems to take affect.
What do we need to set to run with the shared object libraries?

RK,
I appreciate your responce, hopefully we'll get this worked out. I will try to give you as much information as I can so you will hopefully understand the problem.
We have added a Library Reference to our project - which is a jar file - this jar file contains our Business Objects which are implemented in Java. Within this Library Reference, there is a Java class which has a Native method. The method is implemented in C++ The C++ implementation of this method is within a C++ shared object library (libname.so).
How do we let Creator know that we need to link in this C++ Shared Object Library at run time?
The Modifers Properties for the method in the library reference are correctly set - that is they are set to Native. For a method within a java element, selecting or un-selecting this modifier simply changes the method declaration. It does not tell Creator where the actual implementation is (shared object library in this case).
As originally stated, we tried to include our shared object library in the Execution Property of the properties window for the Java Element. Here is what we have done so far - all unsuccessful....
Under the External Execution Property - we added the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to our shared object library path. We also selected the Append Environment Variable (set to true). We are not able to modify the Library Path of the External Execution Property - it will not allow changes - all buttons are disabled in the pop up window.
There are no properties for the Internal Execution within the Executor Properties, so there is nothing we can set there.
We have tried to set the Debugger Execution properties in the same manner as the External Execution properties to run the project in Debug mode - and have the same problem - while executing the project, we get the error message which indicates that our shared object library can not be found.
There are no property settings available on the J2EE Server Execution Properties to set.
What do we need to set so that this Shared Object Library will be located during execution of our project under SJSC?
Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

Missing Font Libraries in Font Book after upgrading to Snow Leopard

I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.1 - and now I seem to be missing my Font Libraries (that I created myself) in Font Book.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you.

The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
SL may have taken the initiative and quarantined what it determined were borked fonts and put them aside to avoid calamity.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
That said, rumor has it that the next update will correct some spurious font handling....best to wait if housecleaning doesn't help at this time.

Seeing shared iPhoto libraries in Aperture

I have Aperture on my iMac and iPhoto on my Mac mini. The iMac and Mac mini are networked. The iPhoto library on the Mac mini is set as shared in the preferences. If I open iPhoto on my iMac I can see the iPhoto library from the Mac mini. If I open Aperture on my iMac I can not see the shared iPhoto library from the Mac mini. I am using the 'Show iPhoto Browser' option in the File menu. I can see my iPhoto library on my iMac in the iPhoto Browser.
In Aperture is there a way to see shared iPhoto libraries from other local networked computers?

I don't think that part of Aperture is that advanced. I'm pretty sure it only looks on the local Hard Disc.

Sharing fonts in flash

Hi,
is it possible for sharing fonts across different movies? We
use embedded fonts in our movie and since we have many of them, it
is making the movie size bigger and longer time to load. We wanted
to check if we can embed a font in a movie and then import that
movie in my main movie so that we can still use the embedded font.
We use a textarea field which is dynamically created using
'createTextField' command in action sript. What we have in place is
something similar to a Rich Text editor where we will have the
embedded font in a dropdown and selection of the font will change
the style of the text in the textarea. Pls help me in fixing the
problem. Appreciate any help.
Thanks & Regards,

Thanks again Tom. You're right. This seems to be the problem. I need a font editor to change the name. I downloaded Fontforge but couldn't figure out how to use it and Fontlab is too pricey for what I need. In any case, while searching for downloads I read that changing font names is not recommended. It just puzzles me that if I access the font via Mac HD/Library/Fonts, I get the name epgyobld.ttf yet it displays EPSON ëæçsèëëÃÇa in font book and application drop down font lists.
However, I chanced upon a work around in another forum. It involves creating a new font collection folder for each font I want to rename but cannot rename. The new folder is given the name I want and the un-renameable font is put into it e.g. I've placed EPSON ëæçsèëëÃÇa into a new collection folder called EPSON-FUTO-GYOSHO. It means having 8 new folders each containing one font - clumsy but at least I can now find the font when I need it..

Is it possible to have two fonts apply to one string? or use symbols amongst normal font?

Hi,
Is it possible to apply two different fonts to one string, or use symbols amongst normal font? My purpose is to display an Omega symbol after some number.
".99982 Ω" or "-180 φ"
I am using version 6.0,
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's not possible to use differnt fonts in the same text control (string, text message, text box, listbox...) or in the label for any control.
An alternative solution can be to use a font that natively includes the letters / symbols you need. Within CVI 6 native fonts you can use NISystemMetaFont which includes uppercase omega letter together with other commonly used greek letters (and uppercase / lowercase alphabet and numbers, of course ).
In charmap the font is seen as NISYSTEM: with that program you can see all characters included in the font file and select / copy each of them to paste in CVI controls if you need it.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
