Globally Replacing a Font in Project + Unicode Entry

Post by Techno »

Flare 11.

Now that I am having to author help for the Apple Mac side of things, I have found that I need to use Arial Unicode MS as opposed to simply Arial, in order to display Apple's control codes such as U+2318 ⌘.

Is there any way I can more efficiently and globally change this other than on a one by one Style basis? (Even that does not always appear to work.)

And how do you enter a Unicode character in Flare please? I cannot see anything in Help and Alt x as used in MS Office does not work.

Right-click your CSS file in the Content Explorer and Open with | Internal Text Editor. Then you can use the Quick Replace tool from the ribbon to replace Arial with the longer font name. You will probably want to replace "Arial," and "Arial;" with the longer name and the same following punctuation depending on how the font names appear in your style sheet, to avoid replacing instances of Arial that already have the longer name.

To add Unicode characters, from the Insert ribbon click Insert Character.

Many thanks indeed. I'd no idea it would be as simple, but it appears to have worked.

Pity about there not being a means to insert a Unicode value as easily as in Office.
