Update FM7 fonts to fm11 unicode support

Hi to all,
a customer of mine would upgrade to framemaker 11 from fm7. He make documentation in a lot of languages, western, but also Central europe, middle east, chinese, russian, etc.
In FM7 he used Helvetica CE, Arial CE, Times Greek, Helvetica Cyr, and so on.
Now he would like to convert his files to unicode support (Arial, Myriad...).
Suggestions?
Thanks.
Mario.

A further issue with the transition from overlay/codepage fonts to Unicode is whether or not the desired typefaces are available as Unicode, and whether or not they have all the required glyphs populated at the Unicode code points used in your documents.
Assuming that any arbitrary "Unicode" font covers more than a fraction of Unicode codepoints would be a mistake. Generating, scaling, hinting and otherwise optimizing 110 000 glyphs is a daunting task. I wouldn't be surprised if no single font has covered it all yet (other than Adobe Blank). The question then becomes: what's missing? I suspect most "Unicode" fonts have only a tiny fraction of Unicode space covered. There's also the question of whether variations (italic, bold, etc.) match the basic coverage.
You might expect font foundries to provide pages or PDFs detailing all the Unicode scripts a font covers, by variation, and showing at least a bitmapped preview of what each glyph looks like. This doesn't seem to be the case.
A few minutes in Adobe's Type Products discovered no obvious means of determining codepoint coverage. A couple of other big name foundries at least had icon sets, each icon representing a Unicode Script set, but no comprehensive list of codepoints covered. At least one site allowed pasting/typing arbitrary text into a dialog so you could see if a particular glyph was populated, and what it looked like. Hope you don't have questions about too many.
Unless I've missed something, this situation appears to be a mess.
And how does FM8+ behave when the document contains a codepoint not implemented by the font applied?
Zero-length character?
Blank?
[] or [?]?
Switches to font that has the codepoint?

Mathematical Font for Unicode Support

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know a Font which supports most of the mathematical symbols in Unicode 5.0? by that I mean the following tables from Unicode 5.0 (As much as possible!)
- Math Operators U+2200 - U+22FF
- Math Supplemental Math Operators U+2A00 - U+2AFF
- Misc. Math Symbols - A U+27C0 - U+27EF
- Misc. Math Symbols - B U+2980 - U+29FF
I have tried a lot of fonts but no luck so far. I can really use your help guys!

jhxcx,
It's currently not on our roadmap to include Unicode support for Measurement Studio VC++. You can make a product suggestion at this page http://digital.ni.com/applications/psc.nsf/default?OpenForm&temp1=&node= to keep the issue on R&Ds radar.

Update tamil font in oracle

To update tamil font in oracle database
can anyone help me on this
regards,
rajesh

I am repeating: read the guide, at least the basic chapters. Then, ask questions. You mix basic terms. You do not configure fonts in a database, because a font is a set of glyphs representing characters drawn on a screen. The database is a data storage server. It has no GUI and it does not display anything. Only client tools and applications connecting to the database can display data. I do not know if you talk about the database character set for your database or real fonts for your operating system. These are very different things even if they are both needed for Tamil data to be processed correctly. Any Oracle database (at least since Oracle7.3) can be configured to store Tamil data by creating it with the Unicode character set. Use AL32UTF8 with the current versions (>=9.0).
Windows can display Tamil since Windows 2000. The font name Latha. You may need to add East Asian text support through Control Panel in Windows 2000/XP before displaying Tamil.
I am not sure how well Tamil is supported on Unix-like systems, including Linux, but I assume at least some applications can process it.

Unicode support

It seems there is no way to display UTF-8 encoded ePub files in DE 1.5 correctly. If uncompressed, HTML content looks fine in a browser. In DE all common accented characters are substituted with ? character.
There are two similar topics on this forum:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6343e
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b60d2d
My ePub file was generated via DocBook XSL Stylesheets and there is no problem to display it in FBReader.
I suppose it is caused by default font, which contains probably very limited range of characters. Unfortunately there is no way to select the better one (as it is possible in FBReader).
Something about changing the default font was "discussed" here: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5e8b7
If I met this issue 10 years ago, I would understand. If anybody in these days offer software for reading text with no support for non-roman languages, it is hard to believe.
What I would suggest is to deliver DE with any very complete font, for example MinionPro (latin, cyrillic, CE, greek etc.). If this is impossible, please add a feature for selecting the default font.
If I am totally wrong, clarification of this issue is welcomed.
OS - Win XP Pro SP2
Browser - Firefox 3.0.1

Hi Jim--
Thanks very much for the explanation on this...
You know, Adobe could save us all a lot of time if the default faux fonts would include more unicode support....
(I've spent probably a day overall trying to figure out what the issue is, and now I will spend the rest of the day learning/testing embedding a custom font in an epub, just for Digital Editions...)
Even Mobipocket and Kindle are getting these entities right in the three books I'm working on, with their default fonts. (We're not talking about super-obscure characters. Try "Milosevic" with the proper characters, and you get a ? in DE.)
Is there any chance Adobe can get the default fonts smarter in 1.8..?
Thanks for any help/thoughts on this front...I'm sure I don't understand all the issues...it just seems like such an obvious straightforward thing to fix.

Enable unicode support

I have nokia 6500 slide model phone.
How I can enable unicode support for reading "jar" file in regional language, especilly in malayalam language

It is not just about enabling Unicode support (and for all that matters, the phone might already have full Unicode support).
It is a case of having the correct fonts as default/system fonts for displaying the characters.
On S40 based models, you cannot install your own font files to replace system/default fonts.
So, if you want to read/see malayalam language content, and the phone does not support it, you can try a Nokia repair center in case there is a firmware version with support for that language, or you can change to some other phone model which supports the language, or supports installable font files.

Unicode support for Nokia 5233 and the like device...

Hello. I'm just a lurker on the forums but i recently made a switch from my old 6500 slide (Series 40) to a 5233.
When i got my new device, i wasn't exactly happy due to they (The salesmen) didn't inform me about the lack of 3G compatibility but my bigger problem is lack of Unicode support.
I cannot browse my Japanese files on my mSD nor can i browse my Japanese forums and sites on my 5233. I've been using my 5600 slide at the moment and was wondering if there is an avaliable language pack, character set pack or font pack?
Thanks.
EDIT: Fixed a few typos. Hope anyone can help me.

You need to visit a Nokia care center for language packs,they may charge a small fee for it.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

Unicode support - unsupported items?

Hello everyone,
I've been looking around for some detailed information concerning the support of Unicode in LabVIEW.
There is some valuable information out there, work-around's and whatnot, but there are things that need to be covered still.
Some valuable LabVIEW & Unicode information can be found here:
A List of Tips and Tools for using Unicode in LabVIEW
After reading the document above, I came to realize that there are some LabVIEW items that are not fully supported.
Some of these items are essential for application development and therefore, someone must have realized and come up with a solution.
I am looking forward to regroup all those solutions, and this will hopefully help others in the future.
For now, I really hope that someone can enlighten me with some of their valuable "tricks" since I need to deploy my application soon.
Here's a list of items that I've had trouble with when it comes to localizing them:
- Run-time menus: As far as I know, there is no Unicode support for them. Is there a way to display multi-byte characters in them?
                               I have even tried changing my system locale settings and nothing. My run-time menu is generated dynamically.
- Page Captions (names of the tabs in a tab control): I found ONE work-around for this item, overlapping transparent string controls over the page captions,
                                                                                   but is that the only way around ?
                                                                                   I have lost the link to this solution, if anyone can spare me the link to the document, it'd be great!
- Window titles: Even when changing the locale settings, bizarre characters appear instead of the correct value. Even when the value doesn't have special characters
                         (like in the picture below - where the title should be "Configuration Panel" only the Letter "C" appears. I wonder if this related to the "spacing"
                         between the Unicode characters? LabVIEW displays "C o n f i g u r a t i o n P a n e l " in a string control when I read the Unicode data from my .xml file.
                         Apparently, someone has had the same problem:
                         Unicode supportable VI title and 'Tip strips'. I would like to know more about the "tweaking the language settings of your host computer" method
- Tips and Descriptions of ANY control & indicator: I found nothing here, but I am probably blindfolded
- Ring control "drop-down" list: This might just be a misconception on my part, but take a look at the attached picture:
    Apparently, the drop-down list on the ring control only displays the Chinese language correctly, and only displays 1 letter on the other languages
    (English, Français and Español). My application loads the available languages depending on the localization files that it found on a specific directory.
    In this case, Chinese.xml, English.xml, French.xml and Spanish.xml were in the folder at the time of the screenshot.
    The xml files are encoded in UCS-2 Little Endian. I have tried prepending the "FFFE" BOM on each value, and no success.
If any of you have dealt with the problems listed above, I would GREATLY appreciate your input. Also, if there are any other controls that I didn't mention
and are not fully supported by LabVIEW when Unicode is enabled, please let me know, and I'll add them to the list!
Things to know:
My application is currently being developed in LabVIEW 2010 SP1
I'm using Arial Unicode MS as my default font everywhere on my application.

Thanks for your reply Josh,
I had already looked at that article. That's where I got the idea of building my Run-time menu dynamically instead of having multiple ones (one per language). However, it is not revelant to the Unicode issue I'm afraid. As far as I know, run-time menus simply DO NOT support Unicode (for now).
My question is, how did others work around this issue? Did they decide not to include any RTM in their application? Did they give up and tried using a different approach? If so, which?
I am mainly looking for solutions available today, preferably from people that have had the same problems. We all know that LabVIEW might eventually support Unicode completely (let's hope it will) but in the meantime, I am sure there are some good "tricks" out there.

Unicode support when round-tripping to XML

Hi all,
Last week, I posted a question on round-tripping the symbol font and got no replies...:-) I'm thinking the question was entirely too generic, so I'd like to now add a little detail of what it appears are my primary options as well as current issues.
We have a math product that requires the use of the Symbol font. I'll use the beta here for an example: b. I have tried several methods to get this to display in Frame properly, save to XML, and open back up into Frame, with no success, as follows:
o Trying to enter it directly somehow into the text, either directly or as the value of a user variable, discussed below.
o Creating an element called "symbol" that is set in the EDD to always display as a Symbol font.
This one doesn't make it to the XML -- which complains about the document containing unsupported characters.
You can explicitly apply this font in Frame and it displays properly, but it does not save to XML and then open back up in Frame. I thought it might, given Frame's supposed implicit Unicode support for XML (the dev and ref guides say you don't need to map anything in the rules or create any entities if you are working in XML as opposed to SGML). Further, I can see that it is defined already in the FrameMaker\Structure\isocents directory:
<!ENTITY beta "β"> 
and also as this:
entity "bgr" is fm char 0x62 in "FmSymbol";
I'm not sure which is being used, but I assume my DTD does not need to define it.
So now I have assumed that you need to enter it into Frame explicitly as a Unicode code point, but I cannot figure out how to do that. Here's what I've tried:
Entering it directly as:
\u03B2
...doesn't display a Greek beta in the regular text, although I can enter it this way into a user variable, and a Greek beta is displayed (temporary Eureka!), but only as the value of the variable in the dialog box -- not when I insert that variable into the text, which simply results in a "?".
Using the File | Utilities | Hex Input enters only a "b" -- not a beta glyph. Although the user guide says you should be able to enter a Unicode code point with this tool, I can't see how to do that. If you manually enter the code point for the Greek symbol beta (62 for UTF-8), all you get is just that: 62.
Using the standard Windows Character Map does enter the beta glyph in Symbol font -- but this does not round-trip.
Entering it as "/b" -- not sure where I read about this -- doesn't display the glyph, but DOES save to XML as an entity "/b". Not sure what this means, but this entity only opens back up in Frame as a "/b", not a beta glyph.
We need to have the beta (and other symbols of course) display properly in Frame so we can print to PDF, then save to XML and reopen in Frame. Is this possible? Searches across all the Frame documentation have revealed nothing about how to do this, and I feel as if I'm complicated it unnecessarily, but can't tell how.
Any ideas -- or reasonable workarounds -- would be very much appreciated.
thanks,
Shelley

Shelley,
Whether or not a unicode character displays properly is a function of the font that you are using. If you specifed the \u03B2 codepoint, then unless you're using a Pro type OTF font, chances are that the glyph simply isn't available in that font.
Try using the Files > Utilities > Character Palette to see what's available (and also enter it by clicking on the glyphs) for the specific font that you are using in FM9. The Hex Input isn't the way to go for unicode values.
You might also want to look at installing the Quick Unicode Input tool available at: http://www.cardbox.com/quick.htm
[Addendum: WGL TT fonts may also contain the required greek symbols.]

Unicode Supports, change encoding setting

hello
I want to know how can I use Unicode supports. when I type activities as local language (farsi) after scheduling i can't see the original characters. i see unknown characters (????? ???? ??? ????????).

If you are using JSP as your mechanism for content display, you should use
the contentType parameter to specify the character and coding of the JSP
page any character encoding of the resulting stream. So far, we have not
done a good job of documenting how to produce localized content in JSP. I
have filed an issue for the documentation folks to work on it. For now,
take a look at section 2.7.4 of the JSP specification version 1.1.

I am very disappointed in Mozilla Firefox latest update. Is your policy to support hackers by allowing the tab bar to be permanently on.

I am very disappointed in Mozilla Firefox latest update. Is your policy to support hackers by allowing the tab bar to be permanently on. The security feature of switching off tabs bar is one of the reason I pick Mozilla. It is only one extra button to be able to switch it off. The choice should still be there and not like Microsoft and trying to force it on people

i think you have not understood how the attack really works. no new tab will be opened but the content of the existing page is replaced by something that resembles a popular login site. this works the same way in windows as it does in tabs, which you can test yourself at the proof-of-concept page: http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/a-new-type-of-phishing-attack/

1. Yeh that is the thing I want. What are the other steps that i need to do with my Oracle Client/Server for unicode support.
Where i am getting trouble is the Oracle Client/Server unicode support.
And how to decide what character set will suite me best.1. If your application is going to be a "true" Unicode application, you can set the NLS_LANG registry/environment setting on your clients to ".UTF8" to enable true Unicode support.
2. Your database needs to support Unicode, too.
The recommended database character set for this in 10g is "AL32UTF8".
If you currently have a single-byte database character set (WE8MSWIN1252), you need to decide how to get this done.
If you can simply create a new database using the "AL32UTF8" character set, this would be the easiest way.
There are several documents available (e.g. on Oracle MetaLink) that describe in detail how to convert the character set of an existing database. Depending on your data this can be a tedious task involving several steps, so may be creating a new database and exporting/importing the data might be the simplest choice if you need to migrate some existing data.
The recommended national character set is "AL16UTF16", by the way, but that shouldn't matter that much once you have a Unicode enabled database using "AL32UTF8" as database character set.
2. How to set/retrive the "Database Character Set" and "National Character Set". This has already been answered partly. Retrieve:
Database Character Set:
SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';National Character Set:
SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET';In most of the cases you can't just simply set/alter the character sets, as outlined above.
