• Diacritical marks with Garamond Premier Pro fonts?

  I have police Garamond Premier Pro and want to use diacritics with it for type Sanskrit in Latin characters. Is this possible? Can someone point me in the right direction?

  Much appreciated,

  Hi Ben,

  Garamond Premier Pro fonts do not support the attachment of the brand. It is possible for a person with expertise in development of policies to implement these features.

• How can I text perfectly vertical center with different font sizes

  Hello

  I have a frame:

  http://www.Flickr.com/photos/82397830@n03/7960870684/
  

  I tried a vertical centering by defining block of text Options > vertical Justification > Align: Center, but my text is not always get centered vertically. When I put in English words instead of Hebrew ones Gets the text vertical centered.

  There is a sort of invisible box around characters in a font. The measures of the frame of the lower part of the characters below the baseline (such as p or j) to as high as high as the tops of the Capitol letters for diacritical marks such as umlauts and accents. Given that most of the characters are not completely going toward the highest handle or down to the lowest decender, it may seem that the text is not centered between the two vertical points.

  If you need the text to be centered exactly, you can cheat it by applying the vertical offset, but keep in mind that if you change the text, you may need to adjust the amount of vertical offset again. You can use the vertical offset for the text itself, or change text frame options and change the Baseline Options. Also, in your screenshot, I see you have rounded edges on your block of text. The vertical justification works on rectangular text blocks, it's why that doesn't work.

• Polish letters on satellite A50 with WinXP Pro EN - any help?

  I have the satellite A50-106 with Winindows XP Pro English version with Polish programmers keyboard installed. To acquire the Polish diacritical marks that I have to use the Alt Gr key - and using this key with the corresponding Latin letter Polish give letter (example: [Alt Gr] + - gives?). It's ok for all the Polish letters except the poles? ([Alt Gr] + l) I have this specific case, I have to press three keys [Alt Gr] + [Alt] + l. It's really annoying to remenber this extra [Alt] key. Could someone help me with this? Is there a solution to operate the properely?

  Hello

  Sorry, but in my opinion it is a specific problem and you should seek response by producer of keyboard Polish programmer s. It is not a part of the delivered OS and if you have any additional software installed, you need to seek support of the producer of the specific applications.

• How to configure the keyboard to display the diacriticals

• Disable keys dead for the United States-International keyboard layout

  Hello!

  I have been using the keyboard configuration United International (see 306560 KB) for some time now and there is one thing that I find really annoying: the keys for the ' (APOSTROPHE), "(QUOTATION MARK), '(ACCENT GRAVE), ~ (TILDE) and ^ (CARET) are 'dead' in that provision, which means that they do not produce immediately a character when I press them.»

  I use this keyboard to enter German text and I did "dead keys" behavior at all, because all the German special characters (such as umlauts) can be produced by pressing the right ALT (ALTGR) while pressing another key (for example I can produce u pressing ALT GR + y). Dead keys can produce the same thing (for example pressing "follow-up of product u u) but I need them because I can produce them more easily otherwise.

  So, that's so boring on the dead keys? They interrupt the 'normal' uses of the ' (APOSTROPHE), "(quotation MARK), key '(ACCENT GRAVE), ~ (TILDE) and ^ (CARET) that you must press SPACE to have actually produce it a character." For example, I have to press on "followed by SPACE to produce the" character, which is really a pain if you use a lot of quote. "."

  So my question is this: can I use the keyboard layout United International (see 306560 KB) to type accents, but have the ' (APOSTROPHE), "(quotation MARK), key '(ACCENT GRAVE), ~ (TILDE) and ^ (CARET) behave as in the 'US' keyboard layout, so that they produce their respective characters immediately?"

  If I can avoid using software 3 rd - party, it would be great. And I think I saw somewhere that you can actually "change" somehow an existing page layout, but I have not seen anywhere how to do for these dead wicked keys.

  Thank you
  Chris

  Thanks Rohit,

  After a lot of reading, download and play with MSKLC, I derived my own layout of the provision of the US Intl without dead keys. If anyone is interested, I have published for download here:

• No one seems to solve this problem I have with Adobe

  

  I can't find the policy named: Sabondiacritic and Sabondiacritic italics. InDesign don't has this. And it seems impossible to find on the internet also.

  Does anyone know where to find this two fonts?

  Apparently, you try to edit a file, InDesign provided by someone else. Why don't you ask the provider of the document where they got these fonts to.

  I did a similar search on the internet and I can't find any font with this particular name. Maybe you face a situation where someone changed one of the commercial Sabon fonts to better support the diacritical marks and register with this new name.

  There are really not much more we can do to help you here.

• Oracle's solution for this need for specific research.

  Hello
  
  We are on Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10. We need to be able to search on data that have diacritics and we should be able to make the serach ignoring this diacritical. That is the requirement. Now, I could hear that Oracle Text has a preference called BASIC_LEXER which can ignore diacritics and so only this feature I implemented Oracle Text and just for this DIACRITIC search and no other need.
  
  I mean I put up preferably like this:

    ctxsys.ctx_ddl.create_preference ('cust_lexer', 'BASIC_LEXER');
    ctxsys.ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('cust_lexer', 'base_letter', 'YES'); -- removes diacritics
  
  
  With this I set up like this:
  
  CREATE TABLE TEXT_TEST
  (
    NAME  VARCHAR2(255 BYTE)
  );
  
  --created Oracle Text index
  
  CREATE INDEX TEXT_TEST_IDX1 ON TEXT_TEST
  (NAME)
  INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
  PARAMETERS('LEXER cust_lexer WORDLIST cust_wl SYNC (ON COMMIT)');
  --sample data to illustrate the problem
  
  Insert into TEXT_TEST
     (NAME)
   Values
     ('muller');
  Insert into TEXT_TEST
     (NAME)
   Values
     ('müller');
  Insert into TEXT_TEST
     (NAME)

     (NAME)
   Values
     ('PAUL HERNANDEZ');
  Insert into TEXT_TEST
     (NAME)
   Values
     ('CHRISTOPHER Phil');
  COMMIT;
  
  --Now there is an alternative solution that is there,  instead of thee Oracle Text which is just a plain function given below (and it seems to work neat for my simple need of removing diacritical characters effect in search)
  --I need to evaluate which is better given my specific needs -the function below or Oracle Text.
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION remove_dia(p_value IN VARCHAR2, p_doUpper IN VARCHAR2 := 'Y')

  My need any only had to be able to do a search that ignores diacritical characters. To implement Oracle Text for this reason, I was wondering if it was the right choice! More when I find now that the functionality of the TYPE is not available in Oracle Text - Oracle text search are based on chips, or words, and they differ from the exit of the LIKE operator. So, maybe I just used a simple like function below and used that for my purpose instead of using Oracle Text:
  
  Just this feature (remove_dia) removes diacritical characters and maybe for my need is all what is needed. Can anyone help to revisit that given my need I better do not use Oracle text? I need to continue to use the feature of as operator and also need to bypass the diacritics so the simple function that I satisfied my need while Oracle Text causes a change in the behavior of search queries.
  
  Thank you

  If what you need is AS feature and you do not have one of the features of Oracle complex search text, then I would not use Oracle Text. I would create an index based on a function on your name column that uses your function that removes diacritical marks, so that your searches will be faster. Please see the demo below.

• Adobe Arabic do not call the final form of the Arabic text?

  Hello

  I'm creating a journal that is mostly in English, but has an article in Arabic. I use InDesign CS5.5ME and uses Adobe Arabic for the Arabic text 2.006.

  I have a situation in which it appears that InDesign reads a diacritical mark in the middle of a Word as an indication that the word has come to an end.

  In the screenshot below, you can see that the heh ending at each of these four words is preceded by a dal with one or two diacritics. It seems that the diacritics speaker causes InDesign to assume the word is finished, and it is affecting the heh using its isolated form. What my editor tells me, it's the heh must be set using its final form.

  

  When I change the police for another font with Arabic characters - say X Davat or Times New Roman - the heh correctly takes its final form.

  This leads me to believe that some police - perhaps connected to the diacritic - statement is incorrect. In InDesign settings appear to be correct (otherwise, the problem would appear in other fonts, too). Can anyone else reproduce this problem? Does anyone know if Adobe Arabic 2007 solves this problem (assuming it's a bug)?

  Thanks for any help.

  Thanks for your help, Miguel.

  For anyone who has followed this thread, Miguel helped me discover that InDesign was load an earlier version of the police. While I thought that I had loaded v2.006, I actually had not, so InDesign 'found' a version and that in its place. I'm still trying to understand loading where the old version, but now, when I'm sure I have loaded version 2.006, InDesign built correctly the words using the correct characters.

  To find out which version of the police has been actually used in my paper, I opened the find font dialog box and clicked on the button more than information - a feature that I had forgotten in the past, but will rely on a lot from that time.

• Why my browser showing the diamonds including the question mark inside of them, where are my accented 'e '?

  On this site, on certain pages of the site, my accented 'e's not displayed to the top. Instead, I have little diamonds with question marks within such diamonds. Any reason why this is? I suspect it is the font setting, but I don't know who it is. No idea as to which it may be.

  PS. I've included a link to the site where I noticed the problem. The diamonds appear in abundance on this page.

  This site works fine for me. Try this to adjust your display:

  View > character encoding > Western (ISO 8859 - 1).

  It's actually my defined by default, here:

  Tools > Options > content

  Click the Advanced button, right next to the font size, then check the bottom drop-down list control.

  It is difficult to know what is the best value by default, but this one works well for navigation mainly English / US web sites.

  Hi golfnut11,

  1. you are using a laptop?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer priro to this question?

  Step 1:

  If you use a laptop, check if the FN key is enabled. If so, then try to turn it off and check.

  Step 2:

  You can also try to check the keyboard on the screen and if the problem occurs or not.

  Check out the link:

  Type without using the keyboard (on-screen keyboard)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/type-without-using-the-keyboard-on-screen-keyboard

  If you use a Microsoft keyboard, you can also consult the following article:

  Hope this information is useful.

• Accented characters with diacritic folding the flag

  Hello
  
  When you use '-sign diacritic folding "indicator dgidx, is it possible to ignore certain characters of equivalent single accented character ASCII mapping?
  
  For example, I have this option enabled, but I need "n" and "n" behave as two different characters.
  
  Is this possible?
  
  Thank you

  There is not beyond the capacity of the box that I know. You could start a feature through support.oracle.com request for you to be able to define exceptions, and if you do, I would recommend including some use cases to explain the requirement of the company.

  The only way I can think to do this with the current software is a workaround - you must have a preprocessing step to map the character from one point of different code, then when you submit your search apply the same translation. I did previously to work around the problems of code points not supported (in short versions) in language thai and it works but you need to add a manipulator to your pipeline (or make the transformation in the data extract) and have a simple code before sending the query to short (before ENEQuery if via the API).

  Thank you
