Font Pali Times Ameco
Thank you.
In my Word Office I hasn't Pali Times Ameco and I Installed it later. I followed the hints but I can't write the word with special typeface. My steps: Find Dialog, More, Format. Then I can take the typeface Pali Times Ameco but I can't choose the Font. If I choose Pali Times Ameco as typeface it's the same because I can't write the word exactly. "Suzanne S.

If the font is installed (in the Windows Fonts folder), and the active
printer is one that is capable of printing, you should be able to select it in any Font dialog or dropdown. Can you see it in the Symbol dialog (Insert | Symbol | More Symbols...)? -- Suzanne S.

Font Pali Times Ameco
I just googled the font name (it would be useful to have a font for
the standard Buddhist canon!), and the only relevant results are this thread and another one in an Italian-language newsgroup asking the same question. I wonder if something has gotten renamed somewhere along the way. On Jan 2, 12:56*pm, "Suzanne S.

Font Pali Times Ameco
I see the same thing you do. So I reduced the search to "Pali Times" and
found http://www.buddhanet.net/ftp_pali.htm, which lists Pali Palatino and also a Palimacro.zip file (either of which might be relevant). Then I tried "Pali Ameco" and got directed to http://www.skepticfiles.org/mys4/skedamar.htm, which doesn't seem to have the text quoted in the Google search results (an A.M.E.C.O. Foundation and reference to "Pali and English chanting"); there are evidently also several companies named Ameco, at least one of them in China ("Times Ameco" brings up a lot of those). Combining "font" with any of these searches just keeps hitting the same Italian thread about Pali Times Ameco. -- Suzanne S.

From where did you obtain this font? I can find no on-line references to it
other than your questions about it. Word will only display fonts that the currently active printer is capable of printing.

Font Pali Times Ameco
Thanks for your time.
The Font is in Windows Fonts Folder and I can print a document with this special typefaces. I can add Symbol as you said and this surprised me for I posted my question here. Maybe I was unclear. In a Word Page if I want to put a special typeface from Pali Times Ameco I choose the typeface and then I have to use a special combination of keys. Ctrl+ or Ctrl+Alt+. When I want to find a word with this typefaces I don't know how I have to write this character in the Find Box. I followed your hints but If I follow Find-More-Format I can change the typeface but I don't know how I can insert the special typefaces. Please, help me! "Suzanne S.

Font Pali Times Ameco
OK I downloaded and installed all four versions of the font (standard,
italic, bold and bold italic) which appear to be a normal truetype font very similar in appearance to Cambria, indistinguishable from Time New Roman at normal magnification and behaves as you might expect. It appears as a usable font in Word 2007, and works normally in the find dialog (CTRL+F) when applied to the searched text. What *exactly* is it that you are unable to do with this font - list the steps. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Pietro wrote: From he http://hal9000.cisi.unito.it/wf/DIPA...-di2/index.htm I can print pages with this character.

Font Pali Times Ameco
You should be able to use the same keyboard shortcuts in the Find dialog. Or
you can copy a character and paste it into the Find dialog using Ctrl+V. Or you can get the Unicode number of the character by selecting it and pressing Alt+X (Alt+X again to toggle back) or by selecting it and going to the Symbol dialog, where it will be selected, and noting the Unicode number. You can then use this in the Find dialog by entering ^uxxxx (though I find that this doesn't always work). -- Suzanne S.

Font Pali Times Ameco
The poster who uses the screen name "grammatim" has contacted me and asked
me to post the following information: "I downloaded the font from the website provided, and it turns out that it's a very old, pre-Unicode transliteration font, presumably used (only) at the University of Turin, with accented letters placed in fairly arbitrary cells of the old extended ASCII group of characters (0-255) -- it contains no Pali characters at all.

I'll have to let grammatim answer your question, as I don't know the answer.
BTW, I found that the the ^unnnn requires the decimal number of the character rather than hexadecimal, and that is more difficult to find, so directly pasting in is the best solution. -- Suzanne S.

Font Pali Times Ameco
Go to Insert Symbol. Set the font to Times New Roman (or Arial
Unicode, or Tahoma, ...) in the drop-down at the upper left. Then, in the upper right, go to Latin-Extended A, where you will find vowels with macrons (long marks), and two of the Sanskrit s-symbols. Go to Latin Extended Additional (much farther down in the list), and you will find all the dotted letters you need. You can assign a keyboard shortcut to each of the accented letters you need -- be sure to do it systematically so that you can remember the keystrokes. There's a button for that at the lower left of the Insert Symbol panel. For instance, for all letters with macron, I use Ctrl-Alt-hyphen followed by the letter, and for all underdotted letters I use Ctrl-Alt- period followed by the letter. (Capital and lower-case for each one.) And then, you need to convince your professors at Turin to enter the 21st century, and abandon the old Pali Times Ameco font!

Font Pali Times Ameco
You use Times New Roman for special _characters_ (or many other fonts
that also have them -- after you have typed your text, you can try changing the font to see if the letters you have used are included in the font you change to) For typing special _type faces_ -- I suppose you need to use Devanagari -- for just a few letters, you can still use Insert Symbol; just go to the Devanagari section. I don't remember whether Times New Roman includes it, but Arial Unicode does. But it would be better to turn on typing in Sanskrit on your computer. Go to Start Control Panel Regional and Language Options, the Language tab, and (XP) you add a "language" or (Vista) you add a "keyboard." After you do that, you;ll have a "language bar" at the bottom right of your screen, which is simply an icon with two letters -- mine says EN, yours probably says IT. Click on that and choose Sanskrit. To see the keyboard you are now using, go to Start All Programs Accessories Accessibility and chools "On-Screen Keyboard." Then put your cursor in a document where you have changed to Sanskrit, and move your cursor over the on-screen keyboard -- and it shows you what the keys now do. You can type on your keyboard, or you can click on the on- screen keyboard. (The aspirated letters are mostly Shift, and to make a conjunct, type the first consonant, then the Virama key, which is d, then the second consonant.) Your Windows/Word is probably in Italian, but you'll be able to figure it out! On Jan 4, 7:12*am, Pietro wrote: Thank you. Indeed I had a problem to show my pages to anynone.

Barnhill" wrote: The poster who uses the screen name "grammatim" has contacted me and asked me to post the following information: "I downloaded the font from the website provided, and it turns out that it's a very old, pre-Unicode transliteration font, presumably used (only) at the University of Turin, with accented letters placed in fairly arbitrary cells of the old extended ASCII group of characters (0-255) -- it contains no Pali characters at all. "I strongly urge Pietro to use the accented letters built into any of the standard Windows fonts, such as Times New Roman, so that his work will be portable to other people's computers." -- Suzanne S.

Font Pali Times Ameco
My web page http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm shows how to
obtain the appropriate decimal number, but as you say pasting should work. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: I'll have to let grammatim answer your question, as I don't know the answer. BTW, I found that the the ^unnnn requires the decimal number of the character rather than hexadecimal, and that is more difficult to find, so directly pasting in is the best solution. "Pietro" wrote in message ... THANK YOU VERY MUCH. With Ctrl+V I can copy the word and then in Find Box I find the word that I wanted. But in the Find Box the typefaces are so different. They are the typefaces appearing with Times New Roman. I'm interesting to solve my problems with pali and sanskrit characters in roman translation, as "grammatim" said to you. How Can I do?Thanks!
