request for Unicode characters test

[Cristian Secara]

I like to know if version 9 is able to make use of four Latin characters. If
the answer is positive, then I will consider purchasing NOF 9; if not, not

As I have not a trial version to test it for myself, I make a request here
for someone with WinXP & NOF 9 to test this for me ...

So, if someone have some spare time, then please do this:
- open Wordpad
- (optionally, select Palatinino Linotype font)
- type this, each number on new line:
0218
0219
021A
021B
- put the cursor at the end of 0218 number, then press Alt-X; this should
generate either the Unicode character 0218 "Latin capital letter S with
comma below", or a blank square if your font does not contain the
corresponding glyph
- do the same after each number
- in either case (actual character or a blank square), select all, copy
- paste this in a text box in NOF 9

Question: what is the resulted character in NOF 9? Is this the expected
character / blank square, or a question mark?
Neither of previous NOF versions are able to use those characters. It does
not matter if the page encoding is UTF-8 or otherwise.

By default, in WinXP, only Palatino Linotype, Microsoft Sans Serif (TTF) and
Tahoma fonts have these characters included.

Thank you!

Hi, Cristian,

I have had success inserting Unicode Chinese characters using a text box and
Ctrl-T - both in Fusion 8 and 9.

Strangely, though, it's not working with the Unicode characters you mention
and I don't know why nor have time to investigate.

If you open up Fusion 8, open up a text box, press Ctrl-T and type in (minus
the single quotes) '偅' (you need all three symbols - ampersand, hash
mark, and semicolon) - then local publish, you'll get a Chinese character
(Nr. 20549, obviously) no matter what your encoding.

It also works in a straight HTML editor such as 1stPage 2000
(www.evrsoft.com).

I got that particular character from this Unicode page:

Good luck,

Lucian
