[Framers] Fwd: Non-breaking en, em dashes

2018-07-05 Thread Robert Lauriston

Update on this. I got an email from Adobe yesterday morning that the status was changed from Open to In Test. We may have a fix RSN. Also, I believe that the latest FrameMaker update has fixed the RGB/CMYK bug. On Wed, Jun 6, 2018 at 10:33 PM, Lin Sims wrote: > Used to be if you put an en

The minus sign is too short. Well, maybe I should talk to my coworker about that. The place I last worked mandated use of an en-dash to indicate a negative number. We may not do that here, although I think it's a good idea since it makes it a little easier to distinguish between a minus sign and

You did! But I had added my name to the bug report and when I got an update, I thought I'd pass the information along. :) On Thu, Jul 5, 2018 at 3:09 PM, Rick Quatro wrote: > Hi Lin, > > I am not sure if I suggested it on the list, but you could make a variable > for the minus sign and make a

Hi Lin, I am not sure if I suggested it on the list, but you could make a variable for the minus sign and make a character format to make it a bit wider. Then you could insert the variable where you want the negative sign and it would automatically be stretched to your liking. Not the most

The problem was that the font did not have a glyph for the specified Unicode. On Thu, Jul 5, 2018 at 5:15 PM, Böðvar Björgvinsson wrote: > 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

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. Bodvar 2018-07-06 0:15 GMT+00:00 Böðvar Björgvinsson : > The font has to support UTF8, of course! :-) > > Bodvar > > > > >
