Hi Ealasaid, My first guesss would be that the Unicode support in F9 is the culprit. I'm guessing that you're using one of these characters?
? 2743 HEAVY TEARDROP-SPOKED PINWHEEL ASTERISK ? 2744 SNOWFLAKE ? 2745 TIGHT TRIFOLIATE SNOWFLAKE ? 2746 HEAVY CHEVRON SNOWFLAKE ? 2747 SPARKLE ? 2748 HEAVY SPARKLE ? 2749 BALLOON-SPOKED ASTERISK ? 274A EIGHT TEARDROP-SPOKED PROPELLER ASTERISK ? 274B HEAVY EIGHT TEARDROP-SPOKED PROPELLER ASTERISK (from http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/dingbats.html) I now use unicode codes to enter a mu character and several others, thanks to an excellent discusson on this list a few weekes ago. Press ALT+(four digit code, no parenthesis) to enter the character. Hope this helps, Lea _________________________________ Lea Rush Software and Documentation Specialist Astoria-Pacific International PO Box 830 Clackamas OR 97015 PH: 800-657-3010 FAX: 503-655-7367 -----Original Message----- From: framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Ealasaid A. Haas Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 10:16 AM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Frame 9 and ZapfDingbats Hi, everyone! I've recently switched to Frame 9 at work and have been able to use the templates I designed in Frame 7.1 without much trouble. The one issue I'm having that I haven't managed to solve so far is a weird one. I use a large orange asterisk in a floating text box next to Note paragraphs, to call attention to them. To create this asterisk, I use ZapfDingbats font on a "]" character. Since switching to Frame 9, the wrong symbol is displaying. I've checked everything - the paragraph style, the character style, I've even tried switching to a different font and then back to ZapfDingbats, I've tried reentering the ]... nothing works! It's displaying the wrong thing. It still works in Frame 7.1, I checked -- so it's not an issue with the font itself. (It works in Word, too: a "]" becomes the nice asterisk I like when I use ZapfDingbats font on it.) Anybody have similar issues? I know I could just make a graphic, but I would like to figure out why this isn't working. Thanks a bunch!
