    Re: Amazon Placeholders no longer working.

    Dear JD & and Acorn

    Well, the spaces I should have spotted, but didn't, so thanks for that.

    As for the missing protocol, it's missing in the original and doesn't work when posted. When I put...

    Re: Amazon Placeholders no longer working.

    Thanks for your reply. I must confess I've never used the Xara Amazon widget! I go to the affiliate site, get the code and 'paste as placeholder' using the top Edit menu in WD MX.

    None of the...

    Amazon Placeholders no longer working.

    Hi,

    For years I've been using code generated on the Amazon Affiliate site for products and pasting it as placeholder code in Web Designer (I'm using MX).

    Recently, after a break of a month or...

    You're a very patient and helpful man, I'll say that for you! And I just ran into another problem....we settled on using Unicode hex values eventually because they could be typed almost directly into...

    Re: Q. to Gare about font mapping (again!)

    Hi,

    sorry to take so long to get back to you, and thanks for taking the trouble to dive in quickly when you did.

    It was a false alarm, it turns out. I hadn't explained myself well, because I...

    Q. to Gare about font mapping (again!)

    Sorry to bother you, but I'm starting to go crazy here. The things I though would be easy are turning out to be very hard.

    I bought a copy of Type Tool, and my friend and I have been playing with...

    Re: It's not just a good idea: it's the Rule

    Well, as I said before, it's just that the customer simply has no idea of the enormity of what they're asking for.

    Anyway, thanks for that link. I've contacted them and await a reply.

    Regards,...

    Re: It's not just a good idea: it's the Rule

    I'm afraid the customer doesn't realize the enormity of what's being asked! It's intended to be a new alphabet, to simplify spelling, and the squiggles are all extra U/case and L/Case vowel sounds,...

    Great, the long reply I just typed you vanished into the ether. So here's a shorter version. Will sound abrupt but don't mean to, just a bit fed up!

    Thanks, but Windows keyboard shortcuts to do things in the system or programs isn't what I want, except for elimination purposes (!). Believe me, I've never stopped Googling for what I'm trying to...

    Yes, I thought that was probably the case. That was just a top of the head example.

    But in any event, some combinations will be needed, and are completely unavoidable, in fact, short of an...

    Re: It's not just a good idea: it's the Rule

    Hi again.

    I've been asked a question I can't answer about this new font.

    I must be thick, but the thing I still don't know is this:

    In TT, for example, how do I assign one of the new...

    Re: Keyboard mapping a font?

    Thanks very much for all that.

    Slightly to my own surprise I find I'm actually looking forward to all this.

    Re: Keyboard mapping a font?

    OK, you've made my mind up for me;

    instead of getting FontCreator Pro, I'll get Photo & Graphic Designer, and Type Tool 3. So it costs less, and I end up with a vector program.

    OK, thanks for...
