MemberInteresting problem.
If you can’t find a dictionary, I guess the biggest problem might be unwanted hyphenation separating any digraphs used to represent Cyrillic letters, like ZH for ? (does the forum software do Cyrillic?**). I suppose you could find-replace those digraphs with “no break”.Good luck,
Chris**Edit: No it doesn’t do Cyrillic, it’s replaced my ZH with a question mark.
MemberTry waiting a bit (a lot) longer?
I’ve had InDesign throw up a “not responding” in OS X’s Force Quit dialog, but in fact it was just working “hard but slow”. If I left it, it eventually finished.
Can’t remember what task, but it might have been connected with a table that stretched over 100s of pages. I know I went and had dinner while it finished.Chris.
MemberSomeone’s had the same message at :
https://forums.adobe.com/message/10187242#10187242 (in Spanish)
affecting Premiere, Photoshop and Illustrator, which would kind of indicate that some common/shared Adobe tool is going wrong.but from my limited Spanish, they haven’t solved it yet.
MemberIf it’s any help, there’s a Unicode code point for “service mark”: U+2120.
Might help forward compatibility if you’re going to use a font solution rather than just superscripting S and M.
It’s present in my versions of Calibri, Courier, Geneva, Helvetica, Verdana et alMemberIf you’re thinking keyboard shortcuts, on a Mac, alt-shift-B produces the (Turkish) dotless i. Strictly speaking it doesn’t remove the dot from the i that you already typed, but types a dotless i. If your English i is already selected, that would have the effect of replacing it.
Thanks to this adobe thread for the above: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1306900Can’t find any such shortcut for a dotless j, which it seems is only used in phonetics, unlike the dotless i which has widespread use in Turkish.
Of course you’ll need a font that contains both U+0131 dotless i and U+0237 dotless j to make it “look nice”.
– Chris.Edit, does the forum software handle them?
? and ?
Edit 2: NO!February 2, 2018 at 1:46 am in reply to: Thai tones not displaying when using composite fonts #101375MemberApologies, I just quickly looked at some notes I made last time I did some Thai (also using Tahoma).
The range in the GREP is correct (and I guess it would be usable if you worked around the composite font problem using GREP styles.
But I forget you don’t need GREP for the Composite Font range editor:
Follow your steps 1 and 2 as above, then at your step 3, paste
0E00-0E7F
And you should see the boxes above populate with the Thai range.I just tried it and it worked for me, i.e. I could successfully create text with a newly-created Thai+English composite font using Tahoma for the Thai and American Typewriter for the English.
CS6 / Mac 10.12Good luck,
Chris.February 1, 2018 at 5:09 am in reply to: Thai tones not displaying when using composite fonts #101340MemberThis GREP apparently finds the Thai block in Unicode
[\x{0E00}-\x{0E7F}]What happens if you use that as part of the composite font Custom set?
MemberIs there a pressing need to move to High Sierra yet?
Sierra is still supported with security updates (most recent one was early Dec), and InDesign CS3 (yes, CS3, for one client) still works fine for me on Sierra.
Unless there’s a real need to move, sit tight now and work on a strategy for the fateful day?
Chris.November 24, 2017 at 8:34 am in reply to: [ID] [Finder] Change the Default Application a File Opens With #99856MemberHmm, Launchpad had completely passed me by. Possibly connected with having so many versions (i.e. long-term user = old habits work just fine).
Good luck!November 24, 2017 at 7:53 am in reply to: [ID] [Finder] Change the Default Application a File Opens With #99852MemberYes, frustrating – no, don’t know why.
My workaround is to have a permanent Dock icon for the desired version of the program, and drag-and-drop the file onto the Dock icon.
Slightly more accurate than right-click / open with / select the right one from CC17/CC14/CC15/CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6 (yes, that’s the order they come up in for me; and yes, I’ve still got a client who won’t upgrade from CS3).hope that helps,
Chris.November 23, 2017 at 9:33 am in reply to: What secret information can people find in my PDFs? #99838MemberI wouldn’t know either, but I have seen the results of someone making a mistake in terms of how public a comment was going to be. By systematically avoiding any debatable terminology, you avoid any risk of offence. e.g. thinking you’ve switched to something personal and writing a dubious comment.
Cheerio,
Chris

November 23, 2017 at 7:30 am in reply to: What secret information can people find in my PDFs? #99833MemberI’d avoid giving things stupid names at all. One slip-up, one forgetful moment, and you’re no longer seen as “professional”.
Chris.MemberI’d ask why you need to delete them. Storage is cheap.
MemberAah of course, Excel, that well-known mangler of data. At one time, I used to have to translate text from Excel files where even for W European languages, all the accented characters had become a string of four “top row” characters @$%! At least it was consistent in the way it mangled them.
So what Excel might do to Thai in an import is anyone’s guess.MemberIf the above doesn’t work, you might need to check if you’re using World Ready Paragraph Composer or World Ready Single-line Composer.
Chris.
