RE: How do you get fractions in FM 12?
Use the Character Tool to see if your font provides true fractions. If not, find a font that looks like yours that does, and then create a character definition that uses that font. Then just apply the character tag to the correct character.

Re: How do you get fractions in FM 12?
Tom, I found this list of unicode characters online at http://symbolcodes.tlt.psu.edu/bylanguage/mathchart.html#fractions The problem is there is not a special character for all possible fractions. So if you intermix the styles in the same sections and have 3-3/16 with 4⅔ it becomes more confusing. You can also reduce the font size and manually adjust the position by selecting the text and using ALT+ArrowKeys, e.g. move a small 3 up / move a small 16 down, for a nice looking 3/16.

Re: How do you get fractions in FM 12?
If you're using a typeface that has these glyphs, you can use the superscript 0-9, subscript 0-9, and fraction slash to build fractions. This eliminates some of the pain of changing font sizes and positioning, and the fractions you build look exactly the same as the thirds, fourths, and eighths glyphs. Email I sent to my department: Fractions available as complete glyphs are listed for copying and pasting. New fractions not present as glyphs can be composed as needed using the fraction parts. All parts are inserted as Unicode code points using File Utilities Character Palette: numerators: superscript zero through superscript nine (Unicode U+2070, U+00B9, U+00B2, U+00B3, and U+2074 through U+2079) denominators: subscript zero through nine (Unicode U+2080 through U+2089) fraction slash (Unicode U+2044) Text I added to Reference page in template file: The following fraction glyphs can be inserted using an Alt+numpad key combination: ¼ Alt0188; ½ Alt0189; ¾ Alt0190 The following fraction glyphs can be inserted via the character palette or by copying and pasting: ⅓ ⅔ ⅛ ⅜ ⅝ ⅞ The following fractions are composed of parts; insert via copying and pasting: ¹⁄₁₆ ³⁄₁₆ ⁵⁄₁₆ ⁷⁄₁₆ ⁹⁄₁₆ ¹¹⁄₁₆ ¹³⁄₁₆ ¹⁵⁄₁₆ The following fraction parts can be used to compose new fractions; insert by copying and pasting: ¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁰ ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ ₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉₀ Patrick H.

Create fractions on the fly?
Hi everyone, Running FrameMaker 8 on Win 7 SP1 x64 and on Win XP SP3. I use a lot of diagonal fractions, like ½ instead of 1 / 2 (spaces added for effect). But of course, the standard set of fractions included in most fonts, even those with extended fractions such as 1/8, 3/8, etc. is minimal. (You can likely see that my present font does not provide such fractions. But this is just email. :) So 1. Does FM support the use of OpenType fonts, and if so, beginning with what FM version? 1.a. If yes, then does anyone have suggestions as to what OpenType fonts or foundries provide excellent support for diagonal fractions? 2. Does anyone know of a tool that enables creation of arbitrary diagonal fractions AS CHARACTERS on the fly. (Ive found tools that create graphics, but of course those of are of limited use. See, for example, http://www.homeschoolmath.net/worksheets/equation_editor.php, link at the bottom.) 3. Can I use the FM equation editor to achieve this goal? What to read to learn how? And will such fractions, created in FM, carry over elsewhere (Word, Outlook/Thunderbird, Excel, etc.)? 4. What about when working in Word? (Im thinking of creating a fraction in one, then carrying it over to the other, either direction.) 5. Other suggestions/approaches/observations/thoughts?

fractions
Thanks. I ended up using superscript/subscript to achieve the fraction. - JW On Tue, Feb 26, 2008 at 8:15 PM, Sean Pollock wrote: > Some fractions are part of standard unicode, available from the standard > Windows Character Map--e.g., ?, ?, ?.Sean Pollock > > > From: mewickham at compuserve.com> To: framers at lists.FrameUsers.com> > Subject: Re: fractions> Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:11:08 -0600> > > Is there > a way to generate fractions> > without just writing them like I am here ( > i.e. 1/4)?> > One method is to buy any of the various fraction fonts > available.

fractions [accessing Character Map]
If one wants to have a look at the character map of any font or compare available characters in different fonts (say before deciding on which font to use, etc.), the character map can be accessed from Start Menu --> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Character Map. And as we can see in the attached screenshot its easily possible (after checking advanced view and selecting Number Forms category) to check for the available fractions in various fonts. regards, Ashish -Original Message- From: Sean Pollock [mailto:spoll...@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 6:46 AM To: Frame Users Subject: RE: fractions Some fractions are part of standard unicode, available from the standard Windows Character Map--e.g., ?, ?, ?.Sean Pollock
fractions
I am looking for a way to write fractions inline with my text, without using the math functions. I looked at the Frame 8 Character Sets manual, and I see 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4, but nothing else. Is there a way to generate fractions without just writing them like I am here (i.e. 1/4)?

Re: fractions
Is there a way to generate fractions without just writing them like I am here (i.e. 1/4)? One method is to buy any of the various fraction fonts available. Go to myfonts.com or other font seller and search for fractions. Yes, you still have to enter them by typing the individual characters, but they will be properly sized and kerned. You'll have to apply a character format to them that uses the appropriate fraction font, or they may display as other characters, based on the paragraph format. Some of the Pro fonts include Unicode font numerators, denominators, and fraction slash. You can copy and paste them from Character Map, since you have FM8. Again, you'll have to apply a character format to them, unless the font is the same one used for the whole paragraph.

Hi Joel, You can try one of the fractions fonts available from Adobe. OpenType and PostScript versions are both available. http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US=displayFontPackage=234 These fonts allow you to type the numerator and denominator independently.

Expressing Fractions with Offset Numbers and Division Symbols
Does anyone have any advice on how to express fractions with offset numbers and division symbols? I'd like them to appear as they do in Microsoft Character Map or Quark (ex. ¾). Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Expressing Fractions with Offset Numbers and Division Symbols
First of all, you should use the fraction slash by typing Control+q Shift+z. Then you can apply character formats to the numerator and denominator. The numerator format will use the Superscript position and the denominator format will use the Subscript position. You set the specifications for superscript and subscript globally in a document by using Format Document Text Options. The problem comes if you have other superscripted and subscripted characters in the document that should have different sizes or positions. However, this limitation can be overcome with FrameScript.

Re: Expressing Fractions with Offset Numbers and Division Symbols
Here are some other solutions: You can buy dedicated fraction fonts from Adobe, Monotype, and others. They will usually match a particular typeface; for example, Helvetica Fractions matches Helvetica. Or, if you use a typeface that has a corresponding Expert set, you can use the Expert font for the fractions. For example, I have Plantin, which has an expert font called Alt Figures. It contains each number in both numerator and denominator sizes and positions. The advantage to these numbers is that their weight is boosted so that don't look lighter than the surrounding characters, even though they are smaller. Its fraction slash is accessed by typing a normal forward slash.

Keeping fractions together
Hello: How do I keep fractions and mixed numbers written in standard slash and dash, e.g. 1/16" or 2-3/8", together when they wind up at the end of a line? I'm aware of fraction fonts, but am hoping there's some way to add them to the personal dictionary or otherwise get them on a spelling list without changing the style in which they are typed. Any help would be appreciated. ~ Don Spencer

Alternatively, use the Math tool to create them. (If you keep using them over and over, place them on the reference page, and just link to them.) Cheers!
