Tamil Typing Font

[Christain Cobb]

Ifyou want to change the font size either press cmd + or in preferences -> Fonts and Colors choose your theme and in the right pane select all the elements (press cmd a) and then change the font size.

If I set the font size to a specific size, there's a limit to the number of characters, even though no limit is set in the properties, and a long book title (or text in other fields) will get cut off. The properties for fields where this occurs are set for multi-line but not scrolling, and for auto font size.

Am I doing something wrong with the settings, or is there a way to avoid this tiny text while still allowing the text to wrap to two or more lines if necessary? The same thing occurs if I set it to scroll long text. Some text fields are fine (with the exact same settings) whereas one of the fields has this tiny text problem.

Why did you select the Multiline option? Also, you didn't post a screenshot of the General tab so we don't know what font size you have selected... It would actually be better if you could share the entire file with us.

I suspect this may have something to do with unsupported characters. When I searched about it, I got results for a Microsoft Word problem, where almost the same thing happened (but, well, in Word). Some websites said it had something to do with using an English (German) keyboard, while others said it had something to do with TNR being a fallback font. However, since I do not use an English (German) input (I use the standard ABC one), I think it might be a problem with the latter since I use Kami primarily for Physics, and it often contains obscure characters that I need to use.

Perhaps, we could work this around by being able to change the default font for Kami? Even if only two fonts are available for the Free plan, I feel like this suggestion would significantly increase the convenience of Kami.

Typing an e mail the font will change to a smaller and different font. I find this frustrating and an called for.I have to keep going into options and chose another font and start typing again until the next time.Thunderbird is the only one with this problem and going by the members number they are complaining about this.Why can't Thunderbird fix this very annoying fault?

Click : Write.Before starting to type go thrugh the same motions again as the first time:Tools-Options-Display - set font and colour and size.Click Advanced-Untick - Allow messages to use other fonts.OK,OKIt worked for me and the font remains the same all through typing.

Seems to be besetting. So let's try step by step.When editing a new mail, you set e.g. Arial size 12 in Tools>>Options>>Display>>Formatting.After that you start typing the content of your mail.When does the character typ/size change? With typing the first letter or later?How does the edititor look like, before you start typing, is it an empty pane or is there a signature?

I suspect our OP has discovered that his messages can look fine when being written but are all over the place in the recipient's mail program, because this setting can make TB hide font changes so he doesn't see them when composing.

I still think that Stationery is useful because it explicitly defines styles, and some buffer blank lines are the best way to avoid travelling past invisible font tags. Or use an HTML source viewer/editor to see where your cursor is, or what is being inserted for you.

In the past, users have reported font size change tags appearing randomly in the text of the message being composed. Again, an html source viewer may be necessary to see if that's what's happening in this case.

Without further dwelling into it I set the Options as the picture shows.So far it has been a success, the font hasn't changed since I did that. Maybe its a wrong setting but its been working for me so far.Fingers crossed.

I think, Thunderbird can not find a solution, because it's not a software problem. (By the way, this forum is a place where users help others, not developers or any support organization. If you want to file a bug to mozilla (the organization which develops TB) you should have a look at )

t may also be helpful to check what html code TB creates. To do this, simply save your mail (File>>send later in the Compose Window) after a font switch occurs and open it again (from outbox folder).Then press CTRL U to see the html created.

No there's no chance of me pushing the CTRL blank. What I'm also interested is the size of the default font?As you notice my post just above you the font even changed unintentionally when I typed" Why can't Thunderbird find a solution?"

I don't really understand all the technical talk in this help forum, all I want is just to start wright in one font and finish it with the same one. In the past I used Incredimail and I never come across problems like here. The only problem was with Incredimail that it was loaded with Potentially Unwanted Programs.

As far as it goes I can go into Tools-Options-Display and select the font and Text size. Everything after that is not very clear for me. As far as I'm concerns Thunderbird is just an e mail program misbehaving and no one knows how to overcome this.

I think the problem for users is around the Normal.dotm styles template using Gadgui for the BJCree. Do you distribute the Normal.dotm as part of the distributed install or is it the default Word copy. Perhaps we could look at modifying it?

FWIW, I experienced this issue with an Ethiopic keyboard and font just recently. It turns out it was MS Word trying to be helpful. In my scenario, the Ethiopic font was missing some symbols that the keyboard was emitting. So Word (on Windows 10) would switch to another font that included the missing symbols. But Word does not switch back to the starting font, you have to change back manually. It was very annoying, so I fixed the issue by adding the missing symbols to the first font.

@dyacob and @Andrew_Cunningham Thank you for the information that confirms the behaviour in the tests I made.

@Natcay in your situation, I think the option 3 Andrew mentions should work best as long as you can remote install the template along with the rollout of Keyman.

At step 4 in that link follow these steps to change the normal and heading styles.

In summary, right click on the ribbon for Normal, Heading 1, etc and change the font to BJCree Uni

I want to type an accented e character (). I do this by first typing the Option+e key and then the e key again. This works most of the time. Today I've noticed however a problem with one of my fonts while working in Illustrator. It's 'EuroComic'. When I then want to add an character by pressing Option+e and e again, when I've pressed Option-e the font changes to Myriad Pro and upon pressing e again I get the character but in Myriad Pro. Tried it in TextEdit with the same font. Then when I press Option-e, the font changes from EuroComic to Lucinda. Haven't checked other fonts yet, but how is this possible?

The usual explanation for such behavior would be that the copy of EuroComic being used does not have in it. Then the OS goes to another font. Perhaps you have more than one copy of this and one of them is in an old non-unicode version. You can check for duplicated fonts in the FontBook app.

Actually, it does have an in it. I've always used it when I was still using Snow Leopard the same way, by pressing option-e + e. And that always gave an . Now it still gives an but in Illustrator it turns into Myriad Pro, in TextEdit Lucinda and in Pages it still works normally giving an in Eurocomic. Also, when I use option-e plus e and get an in Myriad Pro, I can select the entire text, make it Eurocomic besides all text now being Eurocomic again, that turns into the Eurocomic too. So it's in the right place.

Yes, I checked. It's the only one. Funnily enought, I just learned about that holding the e key to get a popup menu where I can select accented characters, but that doesn't work for me. It's just repeating e characters in Illustrator.

In Illustrator CS6 when I type option-e (without even typing the e after it to get an ), it already turns from EuroComic to Myriad Pro. In TextEdit it turns into Lucinda, in Pages, Indesign, Photoshop CS6 and the entire CS3 it stays EuroComic. And I know the character is at it's right place cause when I type in Eurocomic it turns into MyriadPro , but I can select the text, turn it into EuroComic and it becomes EuroComic again. Will email you the font. Perhaps you can tell if there's an issue with it which could make certain programs act funny that way.

Arial contains a separate acute character, and I bet your EuroComic does not. Illustrator tries to 'protect the stupid user' by automatically changing the font because it thinks you are trying to insert a character that is unavailable in the current font. (You are, but only for a short while.)

Could you also try TextEdit at your end? For me, there is a font change for all characters when you use the option key to try to type acute, circumflex, or tilde accent. But not when you try grave and umlaut (two dots over). (That is option e, option i, option n, option `, and option u)

I think there is something wrong with the font for it to act this way in Apple's best text app. It's really ironic that the font works OK in Pages, which is full of unfixed bugs and has not been updated for 4 years now.

Yes, that's the same what I'm getting. And it's not global: the accented characters work fine in the entire CS3 package and ik Indesign CS6 and Photoshop CS6 and in Pages amongst others. I'm getting the same thing in TextEdit as you. In Illustrator I fixed it by unchecking that missing glyph protection. Which I use it most for anyway. But it is strange. It's like don't recognize the 'missing glyph' (which isn't really missing) and instead turn it into a of a font which does have that glyph. A font designer would have to make sense of that. Some setting in a font which makes some problems think there isn't such an accented character while in fact it is there at the right spot? I guess the behaviour would make sense when there wasn't a character: the mac/software wants to add an , doesn't find it and instead places an in a font which does have that character. That would happen with fonts which doesn't have such characters. But here these characters are present in EuroComic, but the mac/software thinks it isn't. Perhaps there is some setting in a font which stands for something like "this font only contains a-z A-Z characters"?
