a colleague has found a way to access characters that require multiple key combos or are otherwise not accessible in the shape designer (or elsewhere in the programme). for example, using the US keyboard layout to get é you type "opt-e" then "e" -- this does not work in shape designer.
on mac you to do this using the Unicode Hex Input keyboard layout (add it to the keyboard list appearing in your language menu). press and hold option, then on the numpad type "00" and the hex index, then release the option key and the character appears. some characters don't seem to work, sometimes possibly a conflict with an iKeys script, but my colleague also had trouble accessing some characters on windows. for example, 00DF works (ß, Latin small letter sharp s - ess-zed), but 00FD doesn't work for me (Latin small letter y with acute). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#Hexadecimal_code_input http://www.ascii-code.com any hex code keeners here that could help out? :-) -- NEW RELEASE!!! neueweise -- fonts for new music and traditional notation http://newmusicnotation.com/fonts shirling & neueweise | http://newmusicnotation.com new music notation + translation + arts management [FB] http://facebook.com/neueweise | [TW] http://twitter.com/neueweise _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
