Weird characters visualized by all webbrowsers

Hi everybody,
I have recently installed OSX 10.6.4 upgrading from Leopard. Installation was successfull but from that very moment on I have experienced problems in webpages' visualization:
common characters such as letters or punctuation marks are often replaced by striped, accented or otherwise weird characters (e.g. "a" has become "ą").
I commonly use Firefox (3.6.8) where many webpages are almost illegible.
On the contrary, Safari (5.0.1) and Camino (2.0.4) are affected by the same problem but the number of 'modified' characters is much smaller than on Firefox; curiously I have not found any match yet between the characters misread by Firefox and those misread by Safari or Camino (that is the characters not properly visualized by Firefox are correctly visualized by Safari and Camino and viceversa).
Furthermore, not all webpages seem to be affected by the problem for e.g. apple.com, wikipedia.com and others are visualized properly. The problem affects appearently indistinguibly all components of the webpages such as buttons (e.g. "Search" on google.com) and input fields of webpages (but not those of the browser or of plug-in toolbars ecc.).
Now, how am I supposed to solve the issue?
Thankyou in advance for help

Indeed the problem concerned (I am happy I may use the simple past) fonts but deleting the font database was not a possibility in my case (I have more than 1.000 fonts and use them everyday so even saving them and reinstalling one by one would not have been of help). Fortunately Font Book validation procedure has highlighted the problem (dued to doubled font packages).
Thankyou for the hint!

Offline approval - weird characters in Outlook

Hi all,
We're on SRM 5.0, Server 550, SP12.
Scenario: offline approval of Shopping Carts
After running report RBBP_NOTIFICATION_OFFAPP, approver is getting an e-mail in Outlook 2003 with some weird characters:
**START**
Â
Â Â Â The following requires processing:
Â
Â Â Â 1 . Approve shopping cart of Shopper with value 64,78 USD
Â Â Â
Â
Â
Â Â Â Use the following link to log on to the system and carry out the approval online:
Â Â Â Log on
Â
Â
Â Â Â To approve or reject directly from this e-mail, select one of the following links:
Approve by E-mail Â Reject by E-mail Â Â
**END**
When I look at the same message in , these characters are not visible; but there seem to be spaces/blanks in those spots. Looks like Outlook is substituting spaces for some other character.
Also, there're some extra blank lines, which we would like removed.
Any ideas how to get rid of the unwanted characters and unnecessary lines, besides BAdI implementation?
Cheers,
Serguei

Hi,
Please check the foll note:
Note 1100912 - E-mail messages for work items with incorrect line break
Also,sometimes some junk characters are inserted into the offline mail if the required services(for the generation of mail ) are not active in transaction SICF.
Please see whether the following path is active in SICF:
SAP/BC/BSP/SAP/SMART_FORMS/DEFAULT.CSS
If the above service is not activated,then activate that and re-test.
Last option would be to implement the BADI BBP_OFFLINE_APP_BADI (method ~MAIL_DATA_GET) to remove the unwanted characters.
BR,
Disha.

Japanese lyrics shown on iPhone become weird characters after some number of plays

I put in lyrics for my Japanese songs both the kanji/kana and romaji. There have been no problems before this. But somehow I suppose after the newest iTunes released I added some new songs and there were two of them that I added lyrics into them. At first their lyrics were shown properly on my iPhone screen. But after some time the kanji/kana became some weird characters. I checked the lyrics in iTunes and there seemed to be no problems at all with my lyrics. I needed to delete the song from both my phone and my iTunes library and re-add then re-synced it again. (just deleting the song from the phone and then re-synced it didn't help.) Then again, today the lyrics became weird again. I don't really understand. It would become very annoying if this keeps going on. I would appreciate any advice and help. Thank you very much.

I just tried this with my iPhone 4 and it also didn't work. This is how it failed:
- Select "shared".
- The "pie" start to grow, got to about 1/3, then crashed without
    bringing in the shared content.
- After that, the library appeared in list, but I couldn't select
    it at all anymore.
Then I tried it with my iPad. The pie got to the same point, sat
there for a long time, then completed and worked fine.
I did a hard reset of the phone and tried again, this time it
behaved like the iPad and worked fine.
Not sure whether it was the hard reset or whether sharing with
another device "woke something up", but in any event it works
now and I can't get it to break again.
Note, I only use sharing for movies, since I have Music Match
(which works *great* for me, even on 3G).
Specs:
Sharing: 2.7 GHz iMac i5, OS 10.6.8
Clients: iPhone 4
              4th gen iPad
Everything (including iTunes) patched to the latest.

Weird characters appear after write to a file

Here is my story:
I open a file using RandomAccessFile to replace some characters inside it. Let's say I have in the file string 4000, I replace it by string 400. It works fine.
Now if I replace this number by string 40000, when I check the text file, some weird characters like ^M appear everywhere at the end of lines.
What's the reason and how to solve it? I believe there is some invisible characters at the end of string 4000 that causes the problem.
Note that I use function writeBytes to write strings into the file.

public static void changeFileRAF(String sFile, String paramName, String paramValue) {
try {
RandomAccessFile rf = new RandomAccessFile(sFile, "rws");
String currentLine;
long pos;
while (true) {
pos = rf.getFilePointer();
currentLine = rf.readLine();
if (currentLine == null)
break;
if (currentLine.trim().startsWith(paramName)) {
rf.seek(pos);
char[] replaceLine = currentLine.toCharArray();
char[] value = paramValue.toCharArray();
int i = 0;
//pass all white space characters
while (i < replaceLine.length && Character.isWhitespace(replaceLine)) {
i++;
//pass all characters representing tag name
while (i < replaceLine.length && !Character.isWhitespace(replaceLine[i])) {
i++;
//again, pass all white space characters
while (i < replaceLine.length && Character.isWhitespace(replaceLine[i])) {
i++;
if (i == replaceLine.length) {//no value, do nothing
return;
int oldValueLength = replaceLine.length - i;
String newLine = System.getProperty("line.separator");
if (oldValueLength >= value.length) {
System.out.println("different: " + (oldValueLength - value.length));
for (int j = 0; j < value.length; j++)
replaceLine[j + i] = value[j];
for (int j = value.length; j < oldValueLength; j++)
replaceLine[j + i] = ' ';
rf.writeBytes(String.copyValueOf(replaceLine));
else {
System.out.println("old value length: " + oldValueLength);
System.out.println("new value length: " + value.length);
char[] compensation = new char[value.length - oldValueLength];
for (int j = 0; j < oldValueLength; j++)
replaceLine[j + i] = value[j];
for (int j = oldValueLength; j < value.length; j++)
compensation[j - oldValueLength] = value[j];
System.out.println("it is " + String.copyValueOf(replaceLine) + String.copyValueOf(compensation));
rf.writeBytes(String.copyValueOf(replaceLine) + String.copyValueOf(compensation));
break;
rf.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
I hope it's not too long.

Weird characters in MediaSource cause cr

Under Artist and Album in MediaSource 2 many of my artist have funny characters in them as shown below.
http://205.44.2.42/weird.jpg
When I click on them, it causes an error:
The instruction at "0x00000020" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
The program then crashes out.

How should I know what language to change it to?
I've hit this same problem, it only occurs in the ARTIST and ALBUM window of the Zen Touch view (fine on the PC Music Library view. I have Firmware vsn ..3
As soon as I highlight one of the Aritsts (or Albums), cabooom.
I don't really understand were the weird characters oginate from, some have them, some don't. The Popular Classics albums all have the problem (which may originate from whatever the language was set to when it they were initially loaded at the factory) - but having only got the device today, I've loaded 4 more albums 2 have the weirdness and 2 don't.
Now that is weird....

I have FF and win7. Fonts turn to weird characters at more then 75% zoom when the checkbox "allow webpages to choose their own fonts" in the contents option > advanced is checked, when forced to calibri this behaviour doesnt occur
An aexample of that is the product title on the product of this website:
https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=2424553
While switching to double check this I just saw that this also happens in this very window in wich i am typing my question now. If i copy and paste this text to for example notepad or anything else, it shows up like normal text.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i installed firefox on win 7

This issue can be caused by the bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or another (bitmap) font that can't be displayed by Firefox in that font size.
Firefox can't display that font in the specified size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or find a True type version of that font that doesn't have the problem.

Weird Characters appering in the browser

My company's product help file is generated in WebHelp, but
on the web I see in some pages showing some weird characters. When
I checked my source file as actually what characters are they in
the file, I see that the trademark signs (TM) , single quotes, and
double quotes are appearing as a ? inside a diamond. I went through
the script generated by Webhelp and see the character set Webhelp
is using as charset=windows-1252, Can't we change it to UTF-8 so
that its a universal character set and is recognize on all
platforms and browsers.
Please let me know if there is a solution.
Thanks,
Ashish

UTF-8 is the norm with RH7. If you cannot upgrade, or do not
want to, take a copy of your output and try changing it manually in
one topic. If it works then use a multi file find and replace tool.

Weird characters when generating WebHelp from a word document

Hello,
First of all, I'm using RoboHelp 6.
I've seen many posts about this subject, but none with the same version.
I've generated a WebHelp from a word document, that contains accentuated characters (french).
When viewing that help from my local machine, it's ok.
When viewing that help from a web server, it displays weird characters.
I'd like to change the encoding to UTF8, in my web help.
I've seen (if I understood well) that we could change the output charset when generating a web help, but only from the RoboHelp 7 version.
How can I do such a thing on RoboHelp 6 version ?
I've tried to add <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> in many htm files, without success.
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot
Regards

Hello
Thank you for answering me.
There is no way to do it using RoboHelp ?

Weird characters in g++ output

When using Arch and ssh/xterm to remotely logging into an Ubuntu machine (university lab computer) to run g++, the complier output (when there's a compile error) has an accented character "a hat" (i.e. the character "a" with a caret symbol above it) in place of all function and variable names .
For instance, it will output:
file.cc : In function <a-hat symbol>
file.cc:19: error: <a-hat> was not declared in this scope.
when it should have outputted:
file.cc : In function main
file.cc:19: error: idx was not declared in this scope.
NOTE: I don't know how to enter special characters in a post, so I entered <a-hat> instead of the actual special character.
Now, it doesn't happen when I log into the Ubuntu machine from another Ubuntu machine. It only happens when the client is Arch. I am 99% certain that this is a problem with Ubuntu and not Arch. But, I don't have root on the Ubuntu machine because it's the school's computer, so I can't fix it.
Does anyone know if there's something I can try on the Arch box that will fix this display problem?
EDIT: Sorry, I should've posted this in the Workstation thread maybe. Admins, please kindly move it if you see fit.

grepper and Tucos in #conky solved the issue for me. Apparently, the "weird characters" was a color code. I had to pipe:
sed -r "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[m|K]//g"
in conkyrc to remove color codes.

Dialog title shows weird characters when losing focus

Hi all,
a localized application with two configured languages has problems with the title of a modal dialog. Opening the dialog works fine, the text is displayed properly. After klicking into the main screen (so the modal dialog loses the focus), some weird characters are displayed in the title (looks chinese). The buttons that are localized with the same resourcebundle stay normal. Does anybody know this problem?
Regards, Robert4

More information:
This problem does not occur at all workstations. Some do not have this problem at all. But it's all on Windows XP SP 1.
Maybe a threading problem? I cannot imagine.........

Weird characters appear in text when I send email to a PC

All
When I send an email to a recipient using a PC vs an Apple product.
I have provided a sample of the weird characters that are NOT typed in but show up in the text. I see it AFTER it is sent out to the recipient.
It does NOT happen all the time.
Thanks for any help.
Hey JoeŠ
Haven¹t we seen this company before while responding to these DAS projects?
They are they Œinterested vendors¹ for the DOE job.

Start copying yourself on outgoing mail. If you don't see the extra characters in your copy of the sent message, then the problem is at the recipient's end.

Typing backwards/weird characters??

A friend of mine JUST got a replacement BBerry Curve 8330 (US Cellular) after her last one bit the dust. She got it two days ago, and from the get-go, when she types, particularly in Blackberry Messenger, it types the words backwards and changes the letters to weird characters. It doesn't do it all the time. She brought it over and I updated the software for her, and we did a battery pull, but it didn't fix it.
Here is an example of what is coming out:
DâÉr   (read)
gníCàlpéR   (replacing)
??ÈñOh¶ (phone)
ðlÚOW (would)
??þí »çÙf   (F* it)
US Cellular won't help her. Any suggestions?

Check the language settings at Options > Language, and the Language Input there.

Keyboard produces wrong/weird characters

Hi,
I have a 2010 13" MBP, running 10.8.x. The keyboard has suddently started throwing out all sorts of weird characters instead of the expected alpha-numeric set.
If I plug in an external USB keyboard it's ok.
It happens in all apps where key entry is used, not just Safari
Is this a stuck 'alt' key or similar?
Thanks in advance for advice
Paul

This is what happens to windows, and that is why Apple is much better, the only problem with apple is that their computers are pricey, and most programs in the world is for windows. But Windows is just problem after problem, for example, my Windows XP Pro (In the bottom in green ) died from scandisk, now I am using my friend's 8 year old laptop because of this reason. Windows ME is slow, and cant do anything. So the main point I guess is that, why install Windows leaving your Mac prone to virises, spyware, and other problems, just stick to Mac, and your life is as simple as can be. No crashes, no problems such as this is in a Apple created environment such as OSX.

Inspector Adjustments HUD show weird characters

My Aperture Version 3.2.1 all of a sudden shows weird characters in my inspector adjustments HUD. I.e. Instead of CropOperations I now read DGCrop Operations and the likes. It's ever more weired in the full screen retouch adjustments panel. There one can read wordings such as DGGNGSmoothing Operation and other crazy nomenclature.
The first time I experienced that I completely deinstalled my current Aperture version and reinstalled a fresh copy. Everything was fine for a day or two. However last night it came back out of the blue.
Does anyone have an idea what's happening here.
See these screenshots for better explanation of this problem. Thanks.

Do you perhaps have two Aperture installions - the old one with weird menus and the new installation, freshly installed from the App Store? Search with Spotlight for "Aperture". Your most recent Apterure should be the one installed in "Applications"; is the one you deleted still sitting in the Trash?
After force-quitting the new Aperture and opening again your Aperture Library could still be set to be opened with the older Aperture Version, if that were still there.
Where is that DGGNG string coming from?
searching with locate from the Terminal I found the string inside the Aperture.app package (and the iPhoto.app), as part of the localization strings of the "Geode.framework"
% locate DGGNG
/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGBlurOperation.strings
/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGBurnOperation.strings
/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGContrastOperation.strings
/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGMultiplyOperation.strings
/Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resource s/English.lproj/DGGNGTintOperation.strings
/Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resource s/English.lproj/DGGNGVibrancyOperation.strings
If I look inside these localization files with XCode, I see the correct description of these effects:
%open -aXCode /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/
A/Resources/English.lproj/DGGNGMultiplyOperation.strings
/* Interface */
DGGNGMultiplyOperation = "Polarize";
DGGNGMultiplyOperationLong = "Polarize (Multiply)";
inputIntensity = "Intensity";
inputIntensityTooltip = "The amount of polarization effect applied to the area brushed on the image";
For some strange reason your Aperture seems to use the filename of the localization file instead of the strings defined inside the file? Are maybe the correct localization files missing in your Aperture version? Which country have you set in the "Language and Text" preference pane of the System Preferences? I did not see a localization file for "british english", eg.

Léonie
