In the olden days there was a font called Boston that had the
common fractions of half, three quarters, two thirds etc.
Today I typed up some recipes for my wife with such measures and
used Boston. Because she wanted to send them by email with
format intact I went to Print and Saved at PDF. But I couldn't.
Obviously there was no conversion for the font. Converting half
to 0.5 etc is not an option, a third of cup does not convert
very well in metril or imperial.
Is there an OSX font with such measures and will Adobe recognise it?
Suggestions please.
Zapf Dingbats has them and they save as .pdf OK using that option
on the <print> command.

Peter, I've checked my version of Zapf Dingbats but couldn't find
fractions. Used standard key position, shift, option, and
shift-option. What version or key combination gives access to
fractions?

Hello Guys,
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for.
In OSX10.2 you can turn on 'The Character Palette'.
Open System Preferences, click the International icon, click the
Input Menu Tab,
and turn on the Character Palette checkbox.
Now inspect your menu bar & the keyboard menu is there.
Then when you need it, choose Show Character Palette from this menu.
Cheers,
Ronni
