Can't enter alpha character in text
Hi, all. I use FM 10on a Windows 7 system.I am wasting way, way too much time trying to accomplish a simple thing: I am trying to insert a lower case alpha (looks like a fish, or a lower-case a) into text.The key code Numlock-alt-097, provided in the FrameMaker 9 special character set does not work (it comes out as an "x"). I have gone cross-eyed trying to find the character in the Character Palette, which does not seem to provide a way to search for the character. If anyone can solve this annoyance for me, I will be very grateful.--Nancy ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.

RE: Can't enter alpha character in text
Alt-097 is simply the character lower-case ‘a’. Enter it, highlight it and then set it to the symbol font (using the character designer preferably!) and it will show you what you want.

Re: RE: Can't enter alpha character in text
Hi Nancy, If you look closely at the table, you'll see that the alpha symbol appears in the Symbol font column. In other words, Adobe/Frame is advising that you enter ANSI 097 (for a) and apply the Symbol font. So you understood just fine, you just missed the last step. At the end of the week, that's understandable! On Fri, Jul 19, 2013 at 3:12 PM, Nancy Allison ma...@verizon.net wrote: Hi.

RE: Can't enter alpha character in text
The table that contains the ANSI 097 - lower-case alpha mapping is in the section titled Symbol and ZapfDingbats character sets and the lower-case alpha character and character name are in the column of the table headed Symbol set: graphic and name. What this tells you is that this character mapping applies *only* to the Symbol font. This method--relying on the character mapping of a specific font--is the old, pre-Unicode way of implementing special characters. The rightmost columns of the same table tell you that the same ANSI code will produce an outlined, 8-petal floral dingbat if the character is formatted as ZapfDingbats. Unless you have a specific requirement to avoid Unicode (e.g., a need to produce MIF files that are compatible with FM versions prior to v8), it is generally better to reference special characters by their Unicode hex code, which is (theoretically, at least) universal in any Unicode font that supports the codepage that contains the character. -FR Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:12:25 -0500 From: ma...@verizon.net To: docu...@hotmail.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: RE: Can't enter alpha character in text Hi.

RE: Can't enter alpha character in text
Where did you get that 097 code point? Decimal 097 (hex 0061) is actually the code point for a Latin lower-case a, and perhaps the instruction you cite assumed that you would format the character as Symbol font, which maps the Greek alphabet to the corresponding Latin alphabet code points and yields an alpha glyph in place of a Latin a glyph. But if you're using a Unicode font that supports the appropriate codepage, you should be able to use the code point for the proper Greek character, which is hex 03B1 (u+03B1). There are several ways to insert this character: You can use the Character palette (File Utilities Character Palette) You can use the File Utilities Hex Input commandYou can type it directly using the hex keypad mode described in the list last weekYou can copy the character from the Windows Character Map tool and paste it into the FrameMaker document. -Fred Ridder Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2013 13:17:34 -0500 From: ma...@verizon.net To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Can't enter alpha character in text Hi, all.

RE: RE: Can't enter alpha character in text
FM 9 and FM 10 should work identically in regard to _this_ font issue, so no need to worry about that in this case. :) Most importantly, from that link document, on page 13, it shows that you need to use the Symbol font to get an alpha (for the value 097).

Re: RE: Can't enter alpha character in text
Hi, all.Well, life turned out to be simpler than I'd feared.(Syed, I didn't get the result you describe. As you stated, Alt-097 produces a lowercase a (in Arial, anyway). When I switch it to Symbol, I got a small uppercase A in what looks like a serif font.)However, I copied and pasted my source text from a Word file into NotePad. The symbol came through. I then copied and pasted it into FrameMaker. The symbol came through again!So I'm all set for now. Gawd, if I never had to struggle with another font issue, I would die happy.Thanks, everyone.

Re: OT: Discount on XSL Course
Yep, but like so many things (CSS, HTML5, EPUB, XML, DITA, Extend/FrameScript) little doses over time can make a big difference.I sat in on an XSLT session by Dave Gash at the STC conference this spring and it helped turn on the lights in under an hour!I'm hopeful this might take me to that next level. For the price, I think it's certainly going to be worth much more than the investment. -MattMatt R.

Re: Can't enter alpha character in text
Are you sure there's an alpha in the font you're using? You can inspect it with Windows' Character Map utility. It will indicate the key sequence to type it in the status bar. If you're using a Unicode font, 097 is wrong. Use one of the methods documented here: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/3b1/index.htm Or just cut and paste from the browser test page that links to.

Can't enter alpha character in text
Where did you get that 097 code point? Decimal 097 (hex 0061) is actually the code point for a Latin lower-case "a", and perhaps the instruction you cite assumed that you would format the character as Symbol font, which maps the Greek alphabet to the corresponding Latin alphabet code points and yields an alpha glyph in place of a Latin "a" glyph. But if you're using a Unicode font that supports the appropriate codepage, you should be able to use the code point for the proper Greek character, which is hex 03B1 (u+03B1). There are several ways to insert this character: You can use the Character palette (File > Utilities > Character Palette) You can use the File > Utilities > Hex Input commandYou can type it directly using the hex keypad mode described in the list last weekYou can copy the character from the Windows Character Map tool and paste it into the FrameMaker document. -Fred Ridder Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2013 13:17:34 -0500 From: ma...@verizon.net To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Can't enter alpha character in text Hi, all.

Hi Nancy, If you look closely at the table, you'll see that the alpha symbol appears in the Symbol font column. In other words, Adobe/Frame is advising that you enter ANSI 097 (for "a") and apply the Symbol font. So you understood just fine, you just missed the last step.

The table that contains the ANSI 097 <-> lower-case alpha mapping is in the section titled "Symbol and ZapfDingbats character sets" and the lower-case alpha character and character name are in the column of the table headed "Symbol set: graphic and name". What this tells you is that this character mapping applies *only* to the Symbol font. This method--relying on the character mapping of a specific font--is the old, pre-Unicode way of implementing special characters. The rightmost columns of the same table tell you that the same ANSI code will produce an outlined, 8-petal floral dingbat if the character is formatted as ZapfDingbats. Unless you have a specific requirement to avoid Unicode (e.g., a need to produce MIF files that are compatible with FM versions prior to v8), it is generally better to reference special characters by their Unicode hex code, which is (theoretically, at least) universal in any Unicode font that supports the codepage that contains the character. -FR Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:12:25 -0500 From: ma...@verizon.net To: docudoc at hotmail.com; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: RE: Can't enter alpha character in text Hi.

Hmmm ? do you have the symbol font installed? The symptom you describe is what generally what I see happen when a font is not available to FM ? it just displays the base character (?a? in this case). Because, I just tested it in FM and it worked fine for me! Of course, if you are using Unicode fonts, then it is better to use the Unicode value for the alpha character rather than an ?a? in the symbol font. I based my response (i.e., using 097) from your original question.

FM 9 and FM 10 should work identically in regard to _this_ font issue, so no need to worry about that in this case. :) Most importantly, from that link document, on page 13, it shows that you need to use the Symbol font to get an alpha (for the value 097).

OT: Discount on XSL Course
That may be, but XSL makes my brain bone hurt, big time.

OT: Discount on XSL Course
Hi Fred, I have always been a book learner, but I have had a hard time understanding XSLT, even after reading 3 books on the subject. I just started the class last week, and the lights are starting to come on. The course includes 481 pages of notes to supplement the course slides, so it is definitely a good value.

OT: Discount on XSL Course
This is definitely not for everyone. XSL can make your brain hurt. But if you take it in small doses over time, you might find that it really is useful .. that is .. if you work with XML.

OT: Discount on XSL Course
Yep, but like so many things (CSS, HTML5, EPUB, XML, DITA, Extend/FrameScript) little doses over time can make a big difference. I sat in on an XSLT session by Dave Gash at the STC conference this spring and it helped turn on the lights in under an hour! I'm hopeful this might take me to that next level. For the price, I think it's certainly going to be worth much more than the investment. -Matt Matt R.

Fei Min, I'd appreciate your feedback on ePublisher's Eclipse Help support. Specifically, any details about your need to organize your Eclipse UA XML files. If you were using ePublisher for Eclipse Help 5 years ago, that would have been our initial release for the help runtime. Thank you. Ben Allums allums at webworks.com 512-381-8885
Can't enter alpha character in text
Are you sure there's an alpha in the font you're using? You can inspect it with Windows' Character Map utility. It will indicate the key sequence to type it in the status bar. If you're using a Unicode font, 097 is wrong. Use one of the methods documented here: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/3b1/index.htm Or just cut and paste from the "browser test page" that links to.

Structured FM font issue ; char tag applied but format is not being applied WAS: Can't enter alpha character in text
This might be the perfect time for this question: In a structured xml document we've defined an element called that is used to contain glyphs that are known to exist in Arial Unicode MS. Most of the rest of the document text is in Arial. We have the element mapping to a character tag called unicodeFont that is defined to change the font family to Arial Unicode MS and set the Weight and Variation as Regular. When the xml is brought into Framemaker, all the elements end up as Arial, many of which then show as question marks, yet they are tagged with the correct character format. If we select one and change the family to Arial Unicode MS and update all, all the characters become what we expect. If anyone can explain why these are not coming in as Arial Unicode MS as they should, I would greatly appreciate it. Our italics formatting uses the same strategy, and it works. Why would the Font Family be different. Thanks. Craig -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
