Re: Special character: punctuation space

2013-07-01 Thread Lin Sims

And if I'd read more closely, I'd have seen you knew how to do thin space.

I believe those are the only "special" spaces available, though, so if thin
space isn't what you want, you might try numeric. I don't recall ever
seeing one that was "the width of punctuation", and I doubt if there is
one, since how much space a mark of punctuation takes up depends on the
mark in proportional spacing. For example, a "?" will take up more room
than a "!".

If thin space isn't what you want, try the numeric. Beyond that, I got
nothing. :)

RE: Special character: punctuation space

2013-07-01 Thread Christenson, Pat

Hi Lin -

I found a lot of information on line and in Unicode, the punctuation space 
(Unicode 2008) is the same size as a comma or period so it's very useful in 
lining up columns of numbers. A numeric space is too large and a thin space is 
too small.

Maybe FrameMaker's support for Unicode isn't as complete as I thought? I'm on 
FrameMaker 10.

Thanks.

Pat

Re: Special character: punctuation space

2013-07-01 Thread Lin Sims

Hi Pat,

I don't think there's a keyboard shortcut that will do that, or at least
none I've ever found,  and I've been creating a quick reference for myself
lately on all the keyboard shortcuts I want to use, so I've looked at this
a bit.

I think the only way to insert a Unicode character like that is to use the
Character Palette. I've never been able to type those high Unicode
characters in with the number keypad; as far as I can tell, it only lets
you input ASCII codes, not Unicode. You'll also need a font that supports
full Unicode, such as Arial Unicode MS.

Why not just use the variable, if it works? Or write an ExtendScript
that'll insert the character without the variable? I've never used
ExtendScript, so I'm not sure how that would be done; however, there are
lots of people on this list who could probably help with that.

Re: Special character: punctuation space

2013-07-01 Thread Mike Wickham

First, if you haven't already, you need to turn on the unicode keypad. 
It's turned off in Windows by default. Use regedit to find the key 
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method". Right-click on it, 
choose New and then String to create a new string called 
"EnableHexNumpad" with a value of "1". (Don't type the quotes.) REBOOT. 
Don't forget to reboot!


Now, you will be able to type unicode characters by holding down the 
left-alt key and simultaneously pressing the plus sign on the keypad, 
and then (while still holding down the left-alt key) enter the unicode 
character. Then release the left-alt key.  (Note that the right-alt key 
does not work for this.)


So, for your example you would hold down your Left-Alt key, and then 
(simultaneously) on the numeric pad:

press +
press 2
press 0
press 0
press 8
and then release the Alt key.  Some Unicode characters have the hex 
letters a to f in them. Simply enter them from the main keyboard (while 
still holding down the Left-Alt key).


PLEASE NOTE that the punctuation space that you want to enter will ONLY 
appear if the font you are using contains it as a defined character. 
(Most fonts do not.)


Mike Wickham

Now a new question: I thought there was a way to insert a space that's 
the width of punctuation, such as a period or comma (similar to Esc 
spacebar m for em space, Esc spacebar t for thin space, etc.). I found 
the Unicode  for it is x2008. I've tried (and had other people) try 
this, holding down Alt and typing 2008 on the numeric keypad. We get a 
character that looks like a long equal sign with a vertical line 
through it.

RE: Special character: punctuation space

2013-07-02 Thread Christenson, Pat

No, 8200 doesn't work.

The weird thing is that the punctuation space appears in both the Character 
Palette and Hex Input and I can use \2008 in a variable. There just doesn't 
seem to be a way to create it from the keyboard. Strange.

Thanks.

Pat

2008 hex is 8200 decimal. Instead of changing your keypad to hex, can you use 
8200?

press 0

press 8

PLEASE NOTE that the punctuation space that you want to enter will ONLY appear

not.)

Now a new question: I thought there was a way to insert a space that's the 
width of punctuation, such as a period or comma (similar to Esc spacebar m for 
em space, Esc spacebar t for thin space, etc.). I found the Unicode  for it is 
x2008. I've tried (and had other people) try this, holding down Alt and typing 
2008 on the numeric keypad. We get a character that looks like a long equal 
sign with a vertical line through it.

Does anyone know how to create a punctuation space in FrameMaker?

There's also this, which I haven't tested: 
http://www.fileformat.info/tool/unicodeinput/index.htm


and this, which I have used a fair amount: 
http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html


BabelMap is useful because it does show the existence (or not) of 
particular glyphs in a font. FM's character palette lies to you, by 
substituting from a different font when it encounters glyphs lacking in 
the font you're using. And it doesn't bother telling you about the 
substitution.

Re: Special character: punctuation space

2013-07-02 Thread Mike Wickham

I don't think it would work, but I don't know. I picked up the trick 
somewhere else and don't know anything about the inner workings of it. I 
would point out, though, that it does not change the keypad to hex. It 
merely adds the capability. So all the old Left-Alt+xxx ASCII? key 
combinations work, i.e. you don't type the plus sign and there is a 
limit of three characters. So I don't think the 4-digit code you listed 
would work.

Re: Special character: punctuation space

2013-07-04 Thread gr...@hedgewizard.net

The other space is the non-breaking space, which is a fixed space, and which (if
you are converting to HTML, stays a non-breaking space ( ).

Ctrl+space to enter
\ (backslash-space) to search/replace.
