Re: fractions
Thanks. I ended up using superscript/subscript to achieve the fraction. - JW On Tue, Feb 26, 2008 at 8:15 PM, Sean Pollock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Some fractions are part of standard unicode, available from the standard Windows Character Map--e.g., ¼, ½, ¾.Sean Pollock From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: framers@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)?

Re: fractions
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-USevent=displayFontPackagecode=234 These fonts allow you to type the numerator and denominator independently.

RE: 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:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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., ¼, ½, ¾.Sean Pollock ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
