I have a document that was html containing English and Japanese. I've cleaned up a lot of garbage and went to change a couple of numbers from Japanese text to English. The problem line goes something like
first name last name (place) ...#20
where everything up to ...#20 is English, ... indicate white spaces and #20 are in a Japanese font.
Problem:
#20 do not appear as a Japanese font in the formatting palette but they are. How do I know? Well, they look like monospaced double-byte Japanese characters, are shown by Word to be Heisei Mincho when copied to Word, and while they are shown to be Helvetica 12pt in the palette, when I type the same characters in the midst of other English text around them they look completely different.
But an even greater problem is that when trying to type anything before them, even on a different line in a different paragraph, I get garbage characters.
Now, there are white spaces in a Japanese font interspersed with the text (owing to the origin of this document). I suppose that might be related. But a search/replace for Japanese-formatted spaces replaced with English-formatted spaces results in...no change (J spaces seem to be indicated by a gray dot in the middle of the line and E spaces by a gray dot along the base line).
I suppose I could copy the text to Nisus 6.5 or Word and fix the problem. But that really isn't the point or purpose of using Express, now is it?
Any suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.
