Fractions / Upgrade
1 messages in this thread
I recently was notified of upgrades on Adobe fonts I own for use with
IBM/Windows environment. They installed fine – in fact, it was a much improved
and much simpler installation. I noticed that some of the ALT key sequences in
the "Standard Character Access Chart" have changed. For examples, the
fractions 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 were replaced by what seem to be bullet points.
I tried these key sequences out (ALT + 0 + 188) which used to give you 1/4 as a
result, did give me a "sort of" bullet point at point sizes over 18 when using
Korinna. However, at point sizes of 18 and under, I still get the fraction.
Only problem is that everything on the printed line (and on the screen) is
squished up, as if the spacing is not correct. Is it a fluke that I was able
to obtain a fraction using these key sequences, and did not get the bullets?
Is there a key sequence in the new version that *will* allow you to obtain a
fraction?
What makes it a bit more confusing is that the "Character Set Sample Page" does
show fractions are available — just not *how* to get them!! As I said, you
used to be able to use ALT+0+ 188,189 and 190. Not any more.
Would appreciate hearing from you on this. By the way, was part of the
improved package to allow better VGA screen font graphics? I was wondering…
it looks good, but I don't think it looks much different than it did before.
At any rate, thanks for your help.
