Why'o'why do they ignore Baltics?::font question

i have a problem with fonts. and with Graphisoft's ArchiCAD 10.
the app itself uses system's lucida grande.
there are two types of text input in the app. one deals with text boxes placed in the drawings. here i can succesfully use any font ie lucida grande.
the 2nd type is text fields 'within app', like project info, page names etc. here...
[info:
in system preferences/international the languages are english and latviešu, input- latviešu (thats the only way i can input macrons (see latvian alphabet http://www.evertype.com/alphabets/latvian.pdf))]
...the text fields 'within app' (which are in lucida grande) ignores the keystrokes ('+a=ā) for getting macrons. just does nothing.
the lucida grand is unicode and there havent been (nearly) problems when using in other apps, even in ac10 text boxes. so why the app cant pick up the part of characters needed for latvian (latin extended-a(127))? one suggestion is that archicad does not support unicode. but thats illogical(isn't it?) because app recognizes basic latin part(?)
i know that there is a problem for greek fonts in win version and it can be solved through regedit. here i searched all the content, preferences, app suport, but didnt find where/how to change app font script code.
i know, this question should be addressed to graphisoft, but i give a try for mac gurus:)
thus:
could the problem be solved from the 'font side'? any way to update/alter lucida grande? any way to force app to use latin extended? anything? im desperate...
thanks in advance!
offtopic:no surprise, while latvian is believed to be one of the archaistic languages out there;))

could the problem be solved from the 'font side'?
This is your best bet I think. Your app does not support Unicode in the fields where you want to type it, so you could try installing and selecting a non-Unicode Latvian or CE font. To input you might have to use the Character Palette in Glyph mode, as it might be hard to figure out which key does what for a non-Unicode font.

Why won't Lenovo refund my money? Why are they ignoring me?

I ordered recovery media on the 30th of July and I never received them. I am pretty sure they wrote the address wrong. They took long amounts of time to reply to my messages about not recieving the media and I ended up installing Windows 7 myself and then all the necessary software and drivers. I made it clear to them in 2 messages that they were far too late and that I didn't want the recovery media anymore and I wanted a refund instead, but they ignored both messages completely and sent me a message saying that they were going to ship it free of charge. I don't want it. I made this very clear.
Also, I can't believe the nerve of them saying 'free'. No, I paid €37, and I didn't get what I want and will not get what I want, because I paid for it to be shipped in 3-5 days like the website says, not nearly a month later. Getting it nearly a month later is a completely different service that I never paid for. I have therefore not gotten and cannot get what I paid for so I want a refund. Why are they ignoring my messages? I sent yet another message yesterday and got no reply. That is 3 messages they have ignored now.

The download is huge, 1.6GB, so it will take a while to download and if it fails, clear your browser’s cache and try again, or try a different browser.
There is nothing on the page that will prevent you from downloading it multiple times. If you are getting an error it is likely your internet connection or some internet security software or something else blocking. Did you watch the download and did it completely successfully or did it just stop?
On the page with the Try link there is a link for when you’re having problems downloading, which it seems like you are:

Where is the OIL Paint Filter in CC 2014? why the heck would they remove it?

Where is the OIL Paint Filter in CC 2014? why the heck would they remove it?

You will find the Oil Painting Filter in Photoshop CC. It has been taken out of Photoshop CC 2014.
So if you have Lightroom Creative Cloud, you should have both Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014.
I have been looking for it for 4 days now, and I just found it. I am so happy.

Why isn't there a TechNet forum for ADFS yet? They have been forwarding questions to the "Project Geneva" forum for years now.

Why isn't there a TechNet forum for ADFS yet? They have been forwarding questions to the "Project Geneva" forum for years now.
It would be nice if there was IT Pro specific forum. The MSDN Geneva forum has people who have programming questions for WIF in addition to people trying to get ADFS and Web App Proxy setup.
WHY?

Given the growing importance of Office 365 and the role of ADFS in some of the larger deployments, that may happen. Someday.
It is somewhat arbitrary.
AD DS, AD CS, AD FS, and AD RMS are all considered components of Active Directory.
I suppose that's what the AD stands for...
Yet, most ADCS questions are posted and answered in the Technet Security forum.
ADFS questions are often referred to Project Geneva.
Directory Services has its own forum.
Group Policy has its own forum.

If you look in "related threads", someone asked a question precisely about ADCS:

Why doesn't adobe PDF pack convert font jester when converting pub documents to pdf documents?

Why won't adobe PDF pack convert font JESTER from a pub to a pdf file? It converts the JESTER headings to font ARIAL instead. When I was using windows XP and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional the conversion came across as JESTER like I wanted.

Office 2013 RTM: STILL no true small caps: WHY? WHY? WHY?

I have just un-installed the Office 2013 Preview, and installed the Office 2013 RTM 60-day trial.
I had hoped that between the two versions, the issue of missing true small caps in Word had been addressed. But no. Whilst Word 2013 supports OpenType ligatures and OpenType stylistic sets and OpenType old-style numbers and and and, it STILL DOES NOT SUPPORT
TRUE SMALL CAPS. Yes, it has a small caps function, but this just reduces the size of the font, instead of using the dedicated small caps letters included in a lot of OpenType fonts. What's the difference? The difference is that with true small caps, the stroke
width of upper case, lower case and small caps letters match, whereas in the cheapy, flimsy, yucky version that Office only offers, the small caps letters are thinner than the normal letters of that font - obviously so, as they are merely shrunken.
Try it for yourself. Type something like "AaMmXx" in an OpenType font with small caps, say, Calibri or Gabriola, at, say, 24pt, in Word 2013 and in Publisher 2013, and apply small caps in each, and print them. Compare the stroke widths. See what I mean?
Publisher does true small caps. Word doesn't.
So, why, Microsoft, why, oh why, oh why, when other typographical features (ligatures, stylistic sets, etc. etc. & so 4th) are supported in Word 2013, are small caps not? I just don't understand it. Why? Are small caps held to be something that only
professional typesetters should be allowed to use with typesetting programs like Publisher, whereas ordinary folk with Word shouldn't? Or is it trick to boost sales of Puiblisher? Or did no-one think about it? What is it? Because it's very annoying!

Well, in the second place, inserting characters via Insert Symbol is a pain in the posterior, and, of course, the spell checker doesn't recognise them. But in the first place, that only works if the font author has been thoughtful enough to give the small
caps glyphs Unicode code points, say, in the Private Use Area (like in Calluna). Normally, however, they don't - the small caps glyphs are only accessible via a small caps function, as lacking in Word. Excel is worse - apparently, Microsoft think that OpenType
advanced features ought not to be used in spreadsheets.
So having found fonts with small caps, the only way to use them is to use a font program either to assign the small caps glyphs to PUA code points, or to put them in a separate font (which at least means that other applications and spell checkers can use
them).

HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

XAML Namespaces - Why Oh Why Is it "using:" Instead of "clr-namespace"?

Something's been bugging me for awhile now. I'm writing an application with both a Windows Runtime version as well as a WPF version for legacy users (sorry, but Win8 just doesn't have enough marketshare yet!)
Thanks to PCL and MVVM, I can re-use 90% of the C# code. Yippiee!
But the XAML is another story, and a HUGE part of that is the fact that in Windows Apps, identifying a XAML namespace requires "using:namespace.name" whereas in WPF, it's "clr-namespace:namespace.name"
I would be able to share a huge proportion of my XAML files between my two app versions if not for this seemingly arbitrary difference between the two platforms.
Why oh why was this done this way? Is there some technical reason MS does not wanting us sharing XAML files between platforms? Is there some best practice I'm violating by trying to do this?
By the way, for those who are interested, there is somewhat of a workaround. On the WPF side, if you keep your user-controls entirely in a different module (and they never refer to each other in their own XAML files), you can use XmlnsDefinition to
define your module's XAML namespace as anything you want. So I can actually then refer to the uc's namespace as "using:namespace.name." That way it compiles properly both in the WPF and Windows App projects. That is indeed what I've been doing and
now I'm sharing 90% of XAML as well.
Still, why oh why? Really, I'm not just trying to troll here. If there's a technical reason this was done and more importantly if there's a good reason I should not be attempting to share XAML code between WPF and App projects, I'd definitely like to know
Thanks much.

The thread I was thinking of is at
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/7f492c62-4844-40e6-960c-27cbf076b812/how-do-we-file-a-change-request-on-the-xmlns-in-winrt-xaml?forum=winappswithcsharp
The UI design of WPF and of Windows Store apps is generally different enough that there wouldn't be a large overlap in Xaml. You'll generally want different layouts, many of the standard controls are different, and there are several other Xaml
features which differ between WPF and Windows.UI.Xaml.
It would be very useful to be able to share Xaml for custom controls and UserControls, and conditional compilation (#ifdef) for Xaml is a frequently heard request (although I don't see that obviously on
http://wpdev.uservoice.com , but I may just be failing at search).
I know some people do pre-processor tricks to fake this at the expense of being able to use the designer, but it's neither supported nor something I've looked into deeply.

Who uses Final Touch SD in conjunction with FCP? Why? Why not?

It is my understanding that Final Touch is much faster than daVinci.
You are in error...
Depends on the operator and the machine. With a DaVinci you are going tape to tape and the colorist is coloring each shot. When they are done, then they press play and all their settings apply in real time as the tapes roll.
With Final Touch, you have to render your final product after you do all the coloring. Typically the render will take longer than it takes a tape to play, depending on the machines processor power. But still, 4-5 hours for a 30-60 minute show...darn slow. If you had the same colorist on both, Final Touch would be slower.
BUT...the advantage is that you color BEFORE you go to tape. So doing your texted and textless outputs are darn easy.

Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image? It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image? It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

The question mark in the box, if it looks like this: means that safari cannot find the linked image. On windows machines, this would be the equivilant of the small "page-with-a-red-X" logo that appears in the same scenario. Check the reference to the image and make sure that the image is in the correct location, and is accessable by the reference.

Why can't you answer any of my question's? I'm done wasting my time

Firefox has been a problem ever since it was installed!! It won't allow downloads,plugins,printer stopped working, getting error message I sent you. AGAIN WHY CAN'T YOU HELP ME BY AT LEAST TELLING ME HOW TO MINIMIZE ALL THE LETTERS. THIS JUST STARTED 2 DAYS AGO AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I'VE TRIED. WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS-DO YOU NOT GET IT EITHER?I'M SO UPSET W/ YOU! I CAN'T DO TROUBLESHOOTING-I'M IN THE RADIOLOGY FIELD FOR 38 YRS. I'M FAR FROM BEING A COMPUTER EXPERT!!YOU DON'T MAKE IT EASY!

I don't see that you've ever asked a question here before, nor can I see a complete question in your all caps jumble which is very hard to read.
However a couple of days ago the servers were messed up and undoubtedly questions as well as a great many answers may have been lost. So why don't you tell us in normal letter case what your questions are? Look at the bottom of the following report http://health.support.com/ and at the top of the report it looks like things are working now. We are volunteers (Firefox users like you).
