fh1805 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Lennart,Will the following technique achieve the result that you want:Open a new Microsoft Word document, set your basic font (for example Times New Roman) and type your text there, when you need a special character proceed as follows:- Insert Symbol- Within the Symbol window, set the desired font (for example, Times New Roman)- Select the special character that you needWhen you have all your text in the Word document, cut and paste from Word to PTE's text box, ensuring that the font name in PTE is the same as the font used in Word (for example Times New Roman)I haven't tried this myself but it is how I would attempt it.regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xahu34 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Lennart,You may use the Windows system tool "Character Map" (charmap.exe). It allows you to copy Unicode characters (and others) to the clipboard which then can be pasted into the PTE text object. For ASCII characters: Look for the decimal code of your character in an ASCII table, and type this code into PTE using the number block of your keyboard (important) while pressing the Alt-key.Regards,Xaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esc Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks all!Well, I tried all of your ideas - but no. So I went the hard way of:1. Copy/paste the Google translation into a Word-document.2. Made some layout adjustments.3. Copy/paste the text from Word as a textblock into a new file in Photoshop - transparent background - and saved as PNG-file.4. In PtE in OA replaced the TEXT OBJECT with the PNG-image andrepositioned/zoomed etc.There´s nothing like hard work... /Lennart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Lennart did you consider making the show all in Polishdon't know if you could set up an English and a separate Polish program named appropriately -- of course you woud have to be fluent in boththen copy and paste the polish settings into the english program -- dont know whether the symbols would carry over or notIgor can this be done??ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esc Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Ken,Yes, but I did not do a new installation butjust changed language to Polish - but no.... Although I don´t know all the tricks in the bookI guess I am quite good at the method of try and error. /Lennart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
