![]() ![]() For Variable Name, I suggest using the formal Code Point notation U+# or U+#, a separator (I used dot) and the formal Character Name (which is all caps here because it's all caps in the standard).On most PCs, I suspect that's the Arial Unicode MS font, which is why I used it. The Character tag "Unicode" is a flag to the author that it needs to be mapped to a font having a critical mass of code points populated with glyphs.I may change my mind about how to do it optimally. The example I provided is just my first real foray into Unicode for Frame, and is something we'll need to handle in my day job shop, at some point.(It didn't, all the time, when I was composing the reply.)įor those doing special characters as Variables, some remarks. Isn't it nice that we live in a time when that often works? > I copied and pasted the symbol from your text. I vote for bug also, but your fix above works! (I copied and pasted the symbol from your text.) The originated MIF9 shows an A-ring, rather than an S-caron. Frame apparently has no code point notation for Unicode values in dialogs. You'll need to get that U+2265 character ( >, hacked here as > underlined) in the Definition box from either the Frame or Windows Character Map, unless you've done the Registry hack that allows Alt entry of Unicode code points. If you don't ever plan to port the document back to an FM earlier than 8, I'd do the var as Unicode: no glyph for that code point - I haven't yet* studied the MIF to find out what's happening). The instructions I provided worked for the case of:Īttempting to create the variable on FM9 failed (got a box, i.e. > Maybe it works differently on FrameMaker 9. I even tried making a PDF to see if it just rendered differently on the screen, since you mentioned the display in Windows dialog boxes (even though I was just in the main flow). Maybe it works differently on FrameMaker 9. ![]() I tried these instructions with great anticipation, but alas, it did not work for me. So what do we suppose made this topic so popular that it's got over 1000 Views so far? You have to search by Variable, and not by special character.If you highlight the entire para, or just the text containing the var, and apply a new PgfTag, the variable likewise gets de-fonted.You have to re-select the var (which may be hard to even see), and re-insert it. If you apply a Default ¶ Font to the para, the variable is no longer in Symbol font (but this is always the case for variables that use alternate fonts).Is portable between FM platforms and releases, although \xb3 does appear as Š (cap s caron above) in Windows dialogs.Prevents spell checker from needlessly complaining.Assures text inserted adjacent to symbol will be in native paragraph font, and not Symbol. ![]()
