figuring out whether a given font has Unicode Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics glyphs
Hi, all. I have a question regarding how to reliably determine that a font is a Unicode font which has Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (CAS) glyphs. Now evidently because I'm working with Canadian Aborginal Syllabics, even when I use a clearly Unicode font having these glyphs, and ask for the fontlanguage, it gives me ASCI. So I thought would write a script that 1. selects a font, 2. sets a field to that font, 3. puts a CAS character e.g. chartonum(5169) into the field, and if the font isn't Unicode, then no character should show up. My little script (within an option menu that provides the user with all of the fonts from fontnames) looks like this: on menuPick pChosen set the textfont of fld unicode_tester to pChosen set the useunicode to true set the unicodetext of fld unicode_tester to numtochar(5169) end menuPick The problem is that even when I select a non-unicode font, I am still getting the proper Syllabic character showing up for some reason. Anyone know why, and what I could do to get this to work? Basically, I want my users to be able to tell if a font they pick is a unicode font having Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics.

further question on unicode
Hi, all. Thank you for your earlier help on Unicode. I am teaching at a school in Ontario, Canada that trains Ojibwe and Cree (indigenous North American languages) literacy, and we use the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (CAS). I have written several routines in Revolution that will readily convert Roman-orthography Ojibwe and Cree into Unicode CAS, and this is extremely helpful. However, there is one pesky problem that I don¹t really understand... if I convert several Ojibwe words to Unicode, then put the Unicode on the clipboard and paste it into Word (2008 on a Mac), the paste works fine, and I get CAS letters pasted. However, for some reason, if I convert a single word, I often get nothing or a string of question-marks. Why would this work with a string of words but not a single word? Now if I add spaces after the single word, I still seem to get nothing; but if I add a dummy word, then the paste works. Also the paste works with single words in TextEdit, just not in Word. If I tell Word to just paste the text, instead of ³styled text,² the paste works as well. Is there some programming trick I could do to get this to work simply on a default paste into Word? The reason I ask is that my students are often just beginning to use computers, and having to add geekomancy (such as ³just paste text²) to any process proves an insurmountable barrier. Thanks for any thoughts. Also, I¹m sure this has been asked a million times, but has anyone among the cognoscenti written up notes outlining what Rev can and can¹t do with Unicode? I try scouring the earlier list material, but of course, it¹s not organized. Thanks.

copying unicode text into other applications
Hello, all. I have Unicode text in a field, the text consisting of syllabic characters from the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics portion of Unicode. It displays fine, and I¹m very happily able to produce it via a script, but I can¹t figure out how to copy it to the clipboard so that it comes out right pasted into, say, MicroSoft Word. The Revolution dictionary says: To copy or export Unicode text from a field while preserving font, style, size, and color information, use the htmlText property. Now, really, this note is not terribly helpful, because it doesn't tell you HOW to do this! So when I try something like: set the clipboarddata[htmltext] to the htmlText of field my_field I get garbage pasted into Word. And when I try set the clipboarddata[htmltext] to the unicodeText of field my_field Still garbage. What is the command (sequence) to get the Unicode text to properly copy? Thanks. rand valentine ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
quicktime player in stackrunner and rev player with macbook air
Hi, I¹ve got a pretty complex stack that has always worked on both macs (ppc/intel) and windows computers, which utilizes a player to play mp3 snippets I distribute this to students via Stackrunner (or the Rev player application). With my new Macbook Air, however, I notice that the quicktime player doesn¹t seem to work, with either Stackrunner or the Rev Player, though the player _does_ work when I open the stack in Studio 2.9 on my MacBook Air. In Stackrunner (and the Player), there is no player visible and no audio. Is there anything I can do to make this work in Stackrunner (which I love)? Thanks. rand valentine ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
stackrunner problem solved!
sorry to take up bandwith with my inanity! but I realized that I didn¹t have the audio properly linking on my macbook air, and that¹s why the audio wasn¹t working. Long live Stackrunner. rand valentine ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
