When typing an 'L' followed by forward slash '/' I get a weird character

I can't figure this out. whenever I type a string of text that requires an L and forward slash together I get some weird character that resembles an 'f' like for designating a 'function' in an equation only its backwards. this occurs in terminal, like in this example: cd /usr/local/name the 'l' at the end of local and the forward slash become one character. I can't duplicate this character any other time, just when l/ are in a string. Any ideas? I get this in terminal and entourage (only in plain text mode - html emails the character doesn't show) mainly.

What you are seeing is a diacritic of an L with a line through it. It does the same for o/. You are probably using a font like Palantino, Hoefler, Chicago, or New York.
I don’t use Terminal so I don’t know how to change it in that application, but in TextEdit
1. open the Font panel (Format/Fonts/Show Fonts, or Command-t)
2. from the Action menu (small gear shape in lower left corner) choose Typography
3. in the Typography window select the Diacritics section (if there is no Diacritics, select in the Fonts panel one of the fonts mentioned above, like Chicago and the Typography window will change to show a Diacritics panel)
4. click Don’t Compose Diacritics button
I couldn’t find a Show Fonts command in Terminal, but now that you know the procedure, maybe you can figure it out.

Pages 2.0.2 in Palatino will not allow capital O followed by forward slash but insists on converting it into Sandinavian Ø. How can I stop it?

Pages 2.0.2 in Palatino will not allow capital O followed by forward slash but insists on converting it into Sandinavian Ø. How can I stop it?

The best way to stop it is to get rid of the obsolete font. Palatino 3.8 from 2006 should normally also be present as part of iLife/iWork and it works correctly.

When I type o followed by a slash, it renders as o with a slash through it.

Every time I type the letter o followed by a slash, it renders as an o with a slash through it, o/, like the Danish letter.

Sounds that you use a font that supports ligatures.

Accents appearing on an "e" and an "a" when typing in English

I have noticed that when typing in English on my Q10, I occasionally get an acute accent on the "e" of "the" or other words with an "e" at the end. Also occasionally a grave accent on an "a" when the letter "a" appears in isolation as in "a person".
My language is set to automatic, and the two languages I have entered for automatic spelling correction are English and French.
Does anyone have any idea why this should be happening?

I'm set up the very same way on my Z10, and am having the same situation when best prediction suggests e's and a's in words such as "the" and "that" which don't even exist in the French language...needs to be corrected.

Index.html pages in local sub-directories will not load automatically when sub-directory name entered into address field, followed by a forward-slash

I am in the process of designing a website-on-a-CD. In order to make things easier for my clients, I decided to organize this site into local sub-directories with an index.html page in each one. However, when I try to enter the local sub-directory name, followed by a forward-slash, the index page does not open automatically. Instead, I get a raw directory listing that includes the index.html file, and anything else that is present within it. I would like to know if there is any way to force this page to load automatically within Firefox from a local storage medium as it would load from a web-server.

You need to use file:// as the protocol instead of C:/. The latter may never work (C:\ might).
Where is the main HTML located ?
Easiest if to store the images in a sub folder of the location because you can't go back via ../ beyond that root location for security reasons.

Dreamweaver 8 is removing forward slash when creating pages

Dreamweaver 8
Links set to be relative to Site Root
If I create a template that has ../index.php as the home link, and also create a few pages from that template, the links on those pages all start with a forward slash:
/stuff/
However, if I then change the template to have a home link like this:
and then save, all the links in the already-built pages suddenly lose their site-root forward slash and instead look like this:
stuff/
and the home link now looks like this in the created pages:
../ (yep, it stays like that)
I did not change links to be relative to document
Hmmmmm.....I'm noticing that it's occurring when I edit the template, when you then save the edited template, it updates all the pages made with that template but then all the links are now without the front forward slash, so it looks like this is getting triggered when the template is edited
It doesn't change how the links are in the template ../whatever, but all the updated links in the built pages now do not have a front forward slash
And once it changes to the non-forward slash version, it never goes back, it stays as link/
Does anyone know what might be wrong? I need all the links to stay as /relative-to-site-root/
Thanks

> Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem
It was regarded as a bug in previous versions, and was fixed
in the 8.0.2
release. In normal circumstances, ALL links in a template
file must be
relative to the template document, not relative to where you
intend to save
the child pages. Thus, there would be no way to have a link
in your
template document like the first one you show, e.g.,
<img src="whatever.png"....
*unless* the file was actually in the Templates folder (a bad
idea).
In 8.0.2, you can set your PREFERENCES for the Templates
category to NOT
MANAGE relative links. Be aware that this may have unintended
consequences
for you - specifically regarding other relative links in your
site.

When typing text. My IPad keeps inserting full stops followed by a Cap letter. Also Back arrow, when tapped once, goes back quickly. And deletes everything that I have. Just typed.Would appreciate your help..

SUddenly, when typing text on my IPad, full stops followed by a capital letter. Keep occurring. Also when I tap the back erase. Arrow, everything that I have previously. Typed gets erased. Would love some help with this, have looked in settings but none the wiser. Thanks.

Do yo have the "." shortcut set to On? (Settings>General>Keyboard). If you do, it may be that you are hitting the space bar twice without realizing it. This will insert a period.

No forward slash when in Safari???

In order to access my web mail, I have to enter my domain name and password. My domain name includes the "\"; however, when browsing in Safari, there is no forward slash?? How is this possible? Does this mean I cannot access my web mail?

I just realized that if you're using the keyboard for the URL bar, the "#+=" button isn't there.
Have you tried entering it as a hexadecimal equivalent? For example, if you need to enter "john\adams", instead put in "john%5Cadams" (%5C is the hex code for "\")

When typing in a number, how can I automatically have it insert a / (slash)?

I've been trying to figure out how to automatcially insert a forward slash (/) after I have entered a 6-digit number. I'd like to have the slash inserted after the 3 number from the left? For example; if after entering 123456 the expected outcome would be 123/456. Any help would be great appreciated. I'd like to give away some points if anyone has the correct answer!!!

Thanks for the quick reply. Basically, what I need is to be able to enter a fixed 6-digit number between 0-9 and then a slash would automatically be inserted. It would only be numerical and no letters or special characters. To quickly fill you in on what I"m trying to attain, I have created a form with text fields and on one of the fields there is one called, "work location". Here the room and cubicle location would be entered. Each other these locations is designated a 3-digit. For example: 123 would be the room number and the 456 would be the 3-digit cubicle location. So, instead of enter the first three numbers than manually entering the rest of the numbers, I'd like to see if it's possible to just enter the 6 numbers instead than the forward slash would be inserted in its proper place. I hope I didn't confuse you. Once again any advice (or maybe a sample script) would be incredibly helpful,

Path not ending in forward slash never connects

Firefox v 24.0 won't resolve a link with /new but will resolve /new/
Sorry, I can't provide a link to the site as it's behind a firewall, but it would be http://mydomain.org/parks/new. Adding a forward slash at the end will resolve the page. This issue also occurs on Windows Machines.
Other links like /parks/login without the trailing slash work. Earlier versions of FireFox work.
When I say it's not connecting I specifically mean the request is never getting to the server, it's not logged on Apache, and thus, I don't think it's an apache configuration issue.

I setup the logging successfully. Nothing outstanding or obvious here.
The request is made but never completed which would follow the spinning wheel and "connecting .."

Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7

Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7 - I saw a post that devs were looking at this in 2011? Slow progress huh?
This is really annoying when you have to move the cursor to see what you are typing...

Hi,
Please first make sure that Mouse Properties\Pointer options\Hide pointer while typing is ticked.
If this option is already ticked, then try following steps to troubleshoot:
Update the driver for the mouse to get the best performance.
Choose a different cursor as Rob said for a test.
If this issue occurred recently, check if you have any newly installed programs or IE add-ons which cause this issue, you can test this in no add-ons mode, click start button, type "internet" in the search box, choose "internet explorer (No add-on)".
* I test in My IE, I have Hide pointer while typing checked, and in some typing boxes in IE the cursor will hide automatically, while some are not, but I think it's not an annoying issue for me.*
Regard
Yolanda

How to use EWS or Powershell to rename all folders that have a forward slash in them

We have many users that have created folders in Outlook that have forward slashes in the name (i.e. / ). They did this in Outlook/Exchange 2003. We upgraded to Outlook 2010 and this is no longer aloud so there are issues with the folders when performing
functions such as trying to share or using IMAP, etc.
I'm looking for a way to specify a particular user's mailbox in a script and have it traverse every folder/subfolder and check if there is a forward slash in the name. If there is a forward slash I would like to rename the folder to something like the bar
character (i.e |) or another character that is valid.
I had most users go through Outlook manually and clean them up. However there are a handful of users that have hundreds if not thousands of subfolders that have the forward slash in them.
I've done extensive research on this (references to my research below) and came close in putting a script together but I just can't figure it out. Anyone have an example for this? Even if I need to specify a folder within the Inbox and have the script only
process subfolders from this location would be acceptable since most of them are subfolders of a particular folder.

First two articles are for public folders so it won't help here as you have mailbox folders...

This is good starting point, you might need to change the logics around it to search / and replace with - or someting, this might be the code change needed from that article but would suggest you to test it first.
foreach ($folder in $ffResponse.Folders)
if ($folder.Displayname -like “*/*”)
Write-Output “Found / in the $mailboxName and folder name is $folder.Displayname”
$folder.Displayname.Replace("/","-")
$folder.Update()

Underscore randomly replaces forward slash in topic file names and topic titles

The problem I'm seeing is similar to the discussion at http://forums.adobe.com/message/2564701 which dealt with random insertion of underscores in topic titles. That problem seemed restricted to underscores replacing spaces in Topic File names and was solved (for some people at least) by deselecting the setting "Tools > Options > General > Use underscores in filenames." Playing with that setting has not worked for me when it comes to unwanted replacement of forward slashes.
I'm running RoboHelp 9 and linking from FrameMaker 10. The unwanted underscores are seen in (1) the RH project and (2) the help output:
(1) In RH project in some topic titles like this:
I want to keep the forward slash. The upper topic title is wrong and the bottom one is correct.
(2) In AIR Help output: search results and in the tab that appears above the breadcrumbs in the main right pane.
I cant change the titles prior to generating output because, as Matt Sullivan wrote in the similar discussion, "...for topics created from linked FrameMaker 9 files, the Topic Title is not editable from the Topic Properties. If it was, at least I could change the offending titles prior to final generation of output. (though the titles would revert on the next update of the FrameMaker source content)."
I've double-checked the source FrameMaker documents and I can find no difference between Headings in which the forward slash is retained (desired) and those in which the forward slash is replaced by an underscore (unwanted). Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Matt

Isn't the issue here that RH is creating filenames AND topic titles based on the FM title. Because of the slash it is saying that is an illegal character it changes the filename and the title in RH is based on that, hence both change.
I don't know if that can be changed but now you can test to see if that is what is happening.

When typing an 'L' followed by forward slash '/' I get a weird character
