uImage

[Ellie Mae]

Mac Based, uDirect Studio.

Setting up a new uImage job with image fonts and it spools fine until it comes to a hyphenated last name. Says it cannot find the "-" character. The hyphen is in the "Letters" folder and I have also placed it in my Photoshop file, just to see if that fixed it, but no luck. Can you tell me what I need to do to make it see a hyphen?

Screen shots attached.

Thanks

If you are using the new "package" method, any non a-z letters should be named by the unicode value of the character - ie the hyphen should be named 002d.psd

There is an appnote about this in the Marketplace: http://marketplace.xmpie.com/uStore/Images/uImage%20Place/AppNote.pdf

Hi Ellie,

 

The answer is in the naming of the hyphen charater, this video http://1to1.xmpie.com/app/cip.nsf/pages/20071 should explain it, you might need to apply for a login if you don't already have one.

 

Regards,

 

Paul

Is this case sensitive? PC says code is 002D which I used, but still get the attached error. Going back to try lower case "d".

As far as I can see, the uImage User Guide 6.6 (page 41) does *not* specify that the image font file names are case sensitive (as far as Unicode-based naming is concerned). So, "002d.psd" or "002D.psd" might work. Perhaps is there a Mac-specific limitation, but I doubt.

BTW, back to your first "Letters.png" screenshot (sent on Nov 26), I must say I do not fully understand some of your file names... What is "I1.psd", "IP.psd", "L1.psd", etc.? In my mind, you may only have:
* 36 "regularly-named" 1-char-only files (from "A.psd" to "Z.psd" and from "0.psd" to "9.psd"),
* as many "Unicode-named" files (such as "00D1.psd" for the Spanish uppercase eñe),
* one single specially-named file named "default.psd", for all other characters you did not think about, or had not enough time to graphically implement.

Also, don't forget to re-generate a new uImage DPKG, each time you prepare a new set of character psd files (as uImage only uses those psd files *in the DPKG*, and does not pay attention at the original folder, where you prepared your character psd collection).

In my case it turned out to be case sensitive. Once I changed from 002C and 002D to 002c and 002d, it worked.

The other letter images you are seeing are all in a package from the Marketplace we purchased, different variations of the letter "I".

Thanks for your help. The job is done and we are on our way to the next.

Thanks Paul. I did get this worked out.
