![]() ![]() I have not been able to do this with any other program I have tried. So, basically, Quark 6 (not even 6.5) SOMEHOW "converts" the OpenType into Type 1. BUT when I copy TEXT 2 and paste it on a Quark 6 page, then copy/paste that into Quark 8 or 9 and apply the Type 1 font, all characters appear perfect! THE PUZZLE: If I apply the Type 1 font to TEXT 2, all characters turn into blank spaces (understandable because of glyph differences). TEXT 2: Using an OpenType/Unicode font (Times New Roman, Arial, etc.), a chunk of text is typed in a word processor or Quark, using Mac's built-in Greek keyboard layout. (That is, to get the Greek character Υ, I am actually typing À, etc.) All versions of Quark recognize the font and all work fine. TEXT 1: Using the Type 1 Greek font and its special keyboard commands, a chunk of text is typed in a word processing program or Quark. Let me try to clarify my issue one more time: Otherwise, it is a breeze to use the new OpenType fonts in every language. ![]() ![]() I keep using it because I have to process the text with certain scripting and macro programs (prior to the Quark layout stage) which are designed to accept Type 1 fonts only. It has its own keyboard layout and extension. The Type 1 Greek font I mention has 256 characters for certain. Hi Matthias, I really appreciate this, thank you very much. In short, Quark 6 seems to be converting Unicode text into Type 1 mapping in a way I just can't figure out! When I copy this and paste into Quark 8 or 9 layout and apply the Type 1 font, the result is perfect! ÁÔÚ¿˜ Looks like garbage but it is not, that's what I need.When I paste it into Quark 6, it turns into this: ÀÔ¯ÚÂÒÛÂȘ When I paste it into Quark 8 or 9 and apply the Type 1 Greek font to it, all letters turn into blank spaces. ![]() To elaborate (sorry for taking your time), this is a sample text coming from PDF (Unicode): Υποχρεώσεις από συμφωνίες επαναγοράς The reason why I posted in this forum is the puzzle I can't solve: Why does it work when I put Quark 6 in between? This is not a style or formatting issue, it is a font mapping related problem, I think. Pasting from PDF into Word or Quark as unformatted text doesn't work either. I had tried TextEdit and tried it again after your suggestion just to make sure, it doesn't work. Thank you very much and I apologize for the strangeness of my problem. Would anyone know a trick or think of another intermediary program to "neturalize" or convert Unicode text to Type 1? NOW I can no longer use Quark 6 on new Macs, starting with OS 10.7, and this is becoming a serious problem for me. Then I copied/pasted it in my Quark 8 or 9 layout and worked. I had discovered a silly solution to this: I kept Quark 6.0 on my computers just for this purpose, copied the PDF annotation's Unicode text and pasted it on a blank page in Quark 6.0 and the text became Type 1. If I apply the Type 1 Greek font, it turns into garbage. When I copy the contents of an annotation box and paste it into the layout, Lucida Grande font takes over. I send my layout to editors as PDF and they type in their comments in PDF annotations, naturally using Unicode fonts. My Quark layout is in Greek language and (for important technical reasons) I have to use old Type 1 Greek fonts (as opposed to Unicode). Hi all, I use Quarks 8 and 9 on Mac computers. ![]()
