Re: [Framers] Fwd: Non-breaking en, em dashes
The problem was that the font did not have a glyph for the specified Unicode.

Re: [Framers] Fwd: Non-breaking en, em dashes
You know, there is a slight difference between en-dash and the minus sign (dash). The minus dash has a slight space (maybe half or whole thin space) at each side of it.

The font has to support UTF8, of course! :-) Bodvar 2018-07-05 18:37 GMT+00:00 Robert Lauriston : > I've had problems with that when the character I was inserting was not > available in the current font.

[Framers] Fwd: Non-breaking en, em dashes
I've had problems with that when the character I was inserting was not available in the current font. If I remember right, FrameMaker silently grabs the character from another font and applies direct formatting? -- Forwarded message -- From: Böðvar Björgvinsson Date: Thu, Jul 5, 2018 at 11:30 AM Subject: Re: [Framers] Non-breaking en, em dashes To: "An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software."
