The degree symbol

Just tried to add the degree symbol in the symbols menu. The label appeared but when I tried to use 'x' has been inserted instead of the degree symbol. Suspecting that the definition (< \xB0 definition >) is incorrect. Have tried to change the definition of cmds to something which does not (plusminus < \xB1 definition >) and all seems OK with that.

I use FM9.0p196 on Windows 7.

Tried to search the forum for this topic, but have had difficulty obtaining results for even the simplest search criteria!

See you soon

Stuart,

What you had initially specified (\xb0) is a degree using the Symbol font encoding. For the equivalent to a standard police character of ring, the coding of the FM is \xfb or ANSI 0176. However, when you add these items to the menus, FM uses the definitions of order coded in the file \fminit\configui\wincmds.cfg. These control definitions specific keystrokes of platform uttilize to work around the problems of encoding unicode.

To add the degree symbol definition to the SpecialSymbols menu in the file menus.cfg, it would be entered as:

>

where the CharDegree is (re) defined in the wincmds.cfg by using the key combination, i.e.

>

For future reference, if you want to add any more special charactters the SpecialSymbols menu, use predefined FM commands. They are all defined in the file wincmds.cfg from the line 574 in the "-universal Extension to the characters"section.

  • Best way to insert the degree symbol?

    Hello

    I have a form of inspection put in place for the health/restaurant inspectors.    Often during an inspection, they need get food temperatures and want to use the degree symbol.    They run this form on a tablet pc convertible, so a normal keyboard is not available for them in tablet mode and in laptop mode using the combination ALT + 0176 is always a PITA bread, because the keyboard doesn't have a full numeric keypad and people using this form are not the most computer people there in order to activate the endable keys function keys , then enter an ASCII code several times during an inspection.

    I was looking for a suggestion on how to inforporate something in the form in order to get the degree symbol into any text field, they run in the position of the cursor.

    The idea, I look for are:

    1.) command A button that inserts the symbol, but I'm afraid that by clicking on the button would lose focus of the destination field and it would be necessary to have a lot of scripts to remember which field was the last that they were to put it in the right pair.

    2.) event button or on the charge that inserts somehow the degree symbol to the Clipboard in Windows, but during an inspection, they can copy and paste something else so it compensation to.

    (3.) a kind of auto-remplacer text.  Not sure if this is possible in a form of adobe.  For example if they type 'deg' have the auto form replace it at "°".

    (4.) a special key press.  Not sure if Adobe can tell a special sequence of keys not used by Adobe and Windows, CTRL + D, hurry once insert a degree symbol in the current location.

    5.) kind of place a special icon on the toolbar of Adobe to insert the degree symbol in the place currently?

    Those who have some ideas that I think.  Many are probably dead ends.   If you have had this problem, how will you address it?

    Thank you!

    I ended up using a simple replacement that I was mentining in my previous post, as to the types of inspectors "blah blah blah at 51 deg blah blah blah" and then leaves the field, FormCalc will replace the "deg" with "° F" so that the text now reads "blah blah blah blah blah blag from 51 ° F".

    I just need to train my inspectors to type "deg" exactly to have already it automatically.

    Replace "deg" by "° F" when the user leaves the field.

    $.rawValue = replace ($.rawValue "deg", "° F")

  • HOW to: Insert the symbol of the degree in text

    An another "How To" question.

    Running PE 13.1 on a Windows PC with WIN 7 64-bit.

    How to insert the symbol of the degree in text - I would like to have something like "temperature + 2 < degree symbol > water C.

    where < degree symbol > is the small circle (triggered).

    I found how to insert copyright (Alt + 0169) & the Tilde (Alt + 126) helped by Wikipedia, but the Windos ciode for the degree symbol is not shown - just the

    Unicode U + 2103 but Alt + 2103 just inserts a '7'.

    HEM

    HEM

    If you have the copyright © symbol to work for you with Alt + 0169, I think Alt + 0176, you should get the degree symbol as in 32 °.

    If please give it a try in the Titler, open Premiere Elements and let us know if it worked for you.

    Thank you.

  • Symbol of the degree and the Scripts in XML format

    I'm more of a designer and really don't know that a lot of code. I know just enough XML to use in InDesign, the thing is that I can't find a way to use the degree symbol and under scripts in data XML that I import into InDesign. Codes HTML as & deg and & #176 do not work, InDesign was told that they are "malformed". I use UTF - 8. Is there an another encoding I use allows me to use symbols and clues?

    If you use utf-8 all simply but the character of real in the data.

    name of character entities such as

    °
    

    must be declared in your dtd.

    with character entities such as

    ° or °
    

    work correctly.

  • How to enter a degree symbol el capitan

    How a degree symbol is entered from a keyboard El Capitan? (This is a raised circle). The combination of keys shift-Option-8 previously worked. This sequence now produces an asterisk.

    °

    Always do here in all the applications I use. The problem may be the font you're using. It has either a degree sign, or it is a non-Unicode font, so when you press Option + shift + 8, you get everything that's in this ordinal position of the police.

    Also, Asian fonts will often produce degree wildly different signs. Times New Roman indicated first with kerning quite close, also spaced on both sides of the glyph:

    And now Apple Gothic, with great kerning space to the right. You can also see that it is above the line of the ascending lower-case. Once there a little below this line.

    Select the agreements in the area of the part and drag the object to the rope over the first note you want agreements associated with and type the name of the string. You can press return, then drag over another, etc, etc...

  • I see just the apple symbol and a line underneath.

    After having to erase all content and settings on my iphone5 I am not able to use it now I can just see the apple symbol and a line underneath.

    I'm afraid this means that something was wrong during the process... Probably due to a corruption somewhere.

    You can try to reset the phone to first - hold both home and power buttons until the phone will reboot and shows the Apple logo. ONLY release THEN the buttons.

    Then give him 10 minutes to do its thing.

    If she does not recover after that then you'll need to put the phone into restore mode and restore from scratch - iOS software essentially do a factory reset.

    To do this connect the phone to a computer running iTunes, can do the same thing reset the process described above with the following change: once white screen immediately release the power button but keep now in the home button until the iTunes logo appears. Once that happens, iTunes will ask you a restore. Just follow the process and instructions to restore the phone.
