Unicode and Numbers

[n-brandt]

• Nammu 1.0.0
• Java version 8
• Computer Platform: Windows 8.1
• When copy and pasting from Word, special unicode characters aren't recognized: shin appears as an upsidedown exclamation mark when checking the text. Others (tet, tsade, het) are appearing as small squares.
  Also, can't figure out how to do subscript numbers.

This doesn't look like a real Nammu issue to me. Copying and pasting from Word may go wrong if you're working with non-unicode fonts in Word - is that possible? There were quite a few of such fonts around at the OI and other places. For the subscript numbers see the keyboards page in ORACC (http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/doc/help/visitingoracc/keyboards/index.html). Download/install the keyboard and use the comma as "dead key".

@n-brandt did you have any success following Niek's instructions?

Hi Niek and Raquel, The instructions were helpful. Installing the proper keyboard took care of the subscript number issue. Special characters still aren't recognized on my computer, but this appears to be a computer specific issue for all characters except the het. When opening the ATF file on Dr. Baker's computer (which is a mac, whereas mine is a PC) the special characters besides het appeared normally. I've attached a screenshot of one of the ATF files we are working on, so you can see what I mean. Thank you, Nicole

Did you install the DejaVu font? - I have worked on many PCs and always got it working. Niek Niek Veldhuis Professor of Assyriology, Department of Near Eastern Studies Senior Fellow, Berkeley Institute of Data Science UC Berkeley
