Re: Unicode issues ad infinitum
Hi Lynn, How about doing it as a slide show in Rev? That way you can fiddle with the timing and add supporting text. That's easy. Create a series of cards and then click FileImport As Control and then select one of the Options Image File, Snapshot, etc. from each card.

I would appreciate suggestions about a good way to do this, using Revolution alone or with externals or using other software. I did this a while back with Quicktime. Not the current version, but it worked in a blink of an eye. My recollection is that although you appear to be able to select images individually, QT just sucked up all the images in the containing folder and turned them into a movie. Unexpected, (and the result was very funny) but easy to work around. That may be fixed by now, I suppose.

Unicode issues ad infinitum
Hello, fellow Revolution users. I have a quick question, though I really doubt there's any useful answer. I have begun using a Unicode font in a dictionary I've made of a North American aboriginal language, Ojibwe. This language uses Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. I am using StackRunner to distribute beta copies of the dictionary to testers, some of whom use Macs and some Windows (both XP and Vista). If I set a field to the Unicode syllabics font on my Mac, everything works fine, I get the syllabics rendering properly. I also find that I do not have problems with versions of XP I'm running in VMware Fusion on my Macs. But several Windows XP users report to me that they just get square boxes instead of syllabics. So my guess is that Windows Revolution can't detect a font as a Unicode font if it has Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (but not say, Chinese or Japanese), so it substitutes another Unicode font, which has no syllabics. Could this be the problem? And is anyone aware of any way around this? All I want is for the field to respect the font that its been assigned, instead of over-riding with the wrong Unicode font. Am I missing something? 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

I think Rev recognizes the unicode okay but the assigned font is missing on Windows so users are getting substitutions. You'll need to use an equivalent font on that OS. If there isn't one native to a Windows installation you may need to look into using RevFont to install one. I'm not sure why it works in emulation on your Mac (I don't use VMware,) but it may be that VMware shares your Mac fonts, though that's just a guess. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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
