Hiya Annette
thanks for this, I never thought of something like this. was thinking of
the graphics labeller and dictionary manager.
thanks, I'll try it and see if it helps.
If it doesn't work, I was considering emailing FS direct and asking for
their advice on this and the other problem I had with graphs and charts.
your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Elaine

I stumbled across this in the JAWS help today. I do not know if it will be
of any help with your graphical font dilemma. Hope it helps. I've pasted
it below.

Adding Speech for Special Symbols
While JAWS correctly represents the most frequently used symbols with
speech, you may need to add new ones. If you are reading a document and find
that
JAWS misrepresents or does not announce a symbol, do the following:
Note: These steps are only applicable if you are using JAWS with Windows
2000 or later (that is, the unicode version of JAWS). Versions of JAWS
installed
on earlier Windows operating systems do not support this feature.
list of 7 items
1. From the Utilities menu, choose Configuration Manager.
2. From the Set Options menu, choose Graphics and Symbols.
3. Select the Speak Character Value in Hex check box.
4. Choose OK. Then, press CTRL+S to save your changes and press ALT+F4 to
close Configuration Manager.
5. Return to your document. Move the cursor to a lowercase letter "a" (type
one if none are present) and press NUM PAD 5 three times quickly. JAWS
should
say, "Character U+61HEX". If you hear anything else, do not proceed with
these steps.
6. Move the cursor to the character whose speech representation you want to
change and press NUM PAD 5 three times quickly to obtain the hexadecimal
unicode
value of the character. Be sure to make a note of this value, as you will
need it in the next steps.
7. Using a text editor like Notepad, open the .sbl file for the active
synthesizer. This file is located in your user settings folder (C:\Documents
and
Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\X (where X is
the JAWS version number)\Settings\Enu). If your user settings folder does
not
contain Eloq.sbl, then look for it in the shared settings folder.
list end
Note: Character definitions are specific to your synthesizer and selected
language. For example, if you are using Eloquence and American English, you
should
open the file named Eloq.sbl and modify the section named [American
English].
list of 2 items
8. At the bottom of the appropriate section for your language, add a new
entry for the specific symbol you want JAWS to speak. The entry should be in
the
following format:
U+XXXX=SpokenRepresentation
(Where XXXX is the unicode hexadecimal value of the symbol, and
"SpokenRepresentation" is the desired pronunciation).
9. Save your changes to the .sbl file, and then quit and restart JAWS. Your
speech changes should now take effect.
list end

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Font styles in MS Word 2003
Hiya
I'm continuing to work through my college work, and hit a part where I have
to change the font style. normally this is pretty easy to do but the font I
am asked to use is Wingdings and webdings.
for those not familiar with them, they're pictures instead of words. for
example, if you wanted to write a note for a telephone message, you could
write (windings font) a picture of a telephone then in another normal font
the phone number.
My question is, I'm using jaws 8 and office 2003 at college. When I changed
the font to either wingdings or webdings jaws doesn't see the graphic, which
is what I expected.
I thought of labelling the graphic but, I cant appear to get the jaws cursor
on to the graphic to label it. the cursor sits either left or right of the
graphic.
I even asked my assistant to click on it with the mouse but she couldn't do
it either.
another option I thought of, was to label the graphic in the dictionary
manager. I did that and if I used the jaws cursor to read the sentence it
worked, but, not with the pc cursor.
With the PC cursor, all I saw instead of the graphic, was a /. I tried
using all graphics mode to see if jaws would pick up any graphic but that
didn't appear to help neither.
does anyone know of a way I can use this font?
for my course I have to write a sentence using this font, then manipulate
them, either moving copying or deleting them.
I would very much appreciate any help or suggestion that could be offered as
I'm getting extremely frustrated.
thanks in advance.
Elaine
