RE: Quoted speech
Yes, I occasionally see this on web-pages too, sometimes even on major international newspaper sites. First thing to do: run the page you're looking at through http://validator.w3.org There's a fair chance the page is incorrectly authored (header declarations are wrong) and that's why it isn't working in your browser. (e.g. the author cut-and-pasted out of Word or something, with some Windows-specific encoding, and so the encoding in the file isn't actually what the file header is saying it is). There's also a fair chance that the host's webserver is configured wrongly, and *that's* why it's not working properly in your browser (e.g. the encoding the web servers says it's using to serve the page isn't what it's actually using). I doubt, though, that the reason it's not working is because it is not possible to use non-ASCII punctuation characters in a web page in the year 2014! Because it is :) I'd advocate people's time would be better spent getting a good understanding of internationalisation and Unicode, rather than trying to convert their source back to ASCII.

RE: FM Crashed and now it doesn't ask for Application
Is this Windows not asking? If so, then your file association has just gotten mixed up and assigned to some application (or none if it’s floundering around). Use Windows Explorer to reset this.

Re: FM Crashed and now it doesn't ask for Application
Thanks, I have this fixed. After Frame crashed, it would see the DOCTYPE chapter in my XML file and use one of the three DocBook application automatically. I must have removed the Global applications from Frames active applications and the crash / restart read them back in. I could rename or remove the global structapps file but I just went in and changed all three occurrences of Chapter to ChapterDisabled. I don't know why it automatically picks up on Chapter in a DocBook application and won't pick up on the one in my custom application, but now the Use Structured Application windows comes up.

Re: Interface issues with Frame 12 in Parallels
I am newly experiencing the joys of v 12 in Parallels, moving from v 7 on Mac (irony intentional). ... 2. In a Parallels install of v 12 under Win7, online help is completely unusable: everything appears in a single column even if the dialog is widened. Base machine is a Mac Pro running Mavericks. Any chance of your team picking this up, Vikram? All graphics are distorted, all contents skewed off to the left. If the help window is widened, all text collapses into a narrow column about one word wide. -- Steve Rickaby BSc MBCS CITP MISTC http://www.linkedin.com/in/steverickaby WordMongers Ltdhttp://www.wordmongers.com Reg office Larks Cottage, Treen, St Levan, Penzance TR19 6LG Registered in the UK, no. 3130681, VAT reg no GB 557 4598 91 Telephone: 01 736 810575 ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

web-safe fonts characters 2014
Has anyone seen an authoritative reference for this? If I'm not writing man pages or working with some legacy CMS or help authoring tool, I use curved quotes, em and en dashes, and ellipses, but I can't cite any authority for doing so. I've yet to succeed in finding a web-safe monofont with a slashed or dotted zero. ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: web-safe fonts characters 2014
I can tell you one font that is NOT Web-safe: Helvetica. I recommend that you keep it out of your Web documents. There is a Windows bug that causes IE to display Web pages as blank when Helvetica is installed on the computer and listed as the first font in a page's CSS. When I was unfortunate enough to have problems displaying Web pages, it took me quite a while to find the solution online. If you search Google for Helvetica blank pages IE, you'll see all kinds of information on it. Mike Wickham ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
