RE: Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame
Hit Alt+0128 for the Euro symbol. Thank you, Gillian Flato Technical Writer (Software) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott White Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 11:05 AM To: Framers Subject: Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame Folks I have a client in Ireland who wants the Euro symbol to show up in their pricing. So it should look like (Euro symbol)Price. The problem is when we import the tab file from our filemaker database into Frame it changes the Euro symbol to a (Latin Captial Letter A with Diaeresis or the Captial A with two dots over the top of it)Price. Is there a way to get a paragraph tag to convert the "A with two dots" to a euro symbol automatically? Is there a different code we should be using in the tab file to tell frame to understand this character as a Euro symbol? I can add the euro symbol to a paragraph tag but I get the (Euro symbol)(Latin Captial Letter A with Diaeresis or the Captial A with two dots over the top of it) then the price. I know you can globally replace the symbol(s) with edit and change, but the client doesn't want to do that. Any help would be appreciated. Windows, Frame 7.2.

Re: Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame
Thanks Gillian but that is not it. When we import the raw tab file into frame it is converting the euro symbol in the file to the A with the two dots over it.

RE: Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame
You must have a font that supports the Alt+0128 when you enter the Alt code. I just tried it with Helvetica Neue and it works just fine. In your tab file, find the first instance and make the change manually. Then copy what you manually did to the clipboard and globally search for the wrong character and replace with what's on your clipboard. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] m] On Behalf Of Scott White Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 1:16 PM To: Gillian Flato Cc: Framers Subject: Re: Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame Thanks Gillian but that is not it.

Re: Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame
David Here is what we figured out. We had to bring the correct hex ISO latin-1 character codes for frame to understand the euro. For the euro symbol -- "\xf5 " no quotes and space after the 5. We will have to incorporate this into our filemaker out put.

If we import the dollar >symbol it displays just fine in Frame. Scott - you are seeing a classic font mapping problem. First off, no font can display a Euro symbol if it doesn't *have* a Euro symbol. Forgive me for stating the obvious. Secondly, if font A does have a Euro symbol, there is no guarantee that another font, or the same font on another platform, will have the Euro symbol at the same ASCII value. What seems to be happening here is that your database uses one ASCII value for the Euro, but when that's expressed in FrameMaker with font X, or whatever, that ASCII value is mapping to the A-umlaut. Not helpful for you. I expect the script experts here can come up with a solution based on massaging the MIF, or something. If it were only a FrameMaker Platform A to FrameMaker Platform B issue, I'd suggest a character tag that mapped to a Euro font (that's a font that consists only of Euro characters) to lock it down. Just looking at Arial here on a Mac, A-umlaut is ASCI 128 and the Euro is ASCII 219. However, on a PC it's probably different. Re-reading the above, I see that I haven't offered solution.

RE: Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame
Does the data in the database actually include the Euro symbol or does the database contain only the numerical values? In other words, is the Euro symbol added as formatting when the database produces the export file that you're importing into FrameMaker? If so, my recommendation would be to export just the numerical data, and apply the Euro symbol as autonumbering that is attached to the paragraph tag you use for the price. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
