printing fractions
I have a document with a lot of different fractions.... technical
specifications.... and the fraction is not printing out on the document. You can see it on the screen.. but when you print the fraction part of the number is not printed. The fraction has a " mark after it to show that it is inches. It is entered by the number , then back slash, then number , then quote sign..... So it would look like this 16 Ea. - Flush Birch 1 ?" - 3'0" x 6'8" prehung in 4 ?" FJ one piece the 3/8 and 5/8 in this particular line are not printing... Any help would be appreciated I hope this makes sense.. Thanks |

It may say, 'send truetypes as graphics', or 'print in raster mode' or 'send
page as graphic' or some similar gobbledygook that means the same thing. It may also be worth checking at the HP web site to see if they have a newer driver than the one you are using. They definitely have firmware upgrades for many printers: check these out as one may update the resident fonts sets. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Grace" wrote in message ... : The user is printing to a HP8150 using PCL5e : I don't see anywhere in the printer properties to change this info you are : talking about. : : Any other suggestions?? : thanks : : "Suzanne S.

Thanks, I found a setting similar ... and the fractions still did not
print. Could it have anything to do with the Quote symbol being next to it....? "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ...

I've not seen this happen before. Just double-check that it isn't a font issue and test by changing the font used in the document to something really common such as Times New Roman and see if that prints.

Thanks I have tried viewing your message using all possible character sets that my newsreader (xananews) supports, and I still see a question mark, not a fraction. Perhaps you should look up the unicode for your fractional number, and use that. All I can find in plain old Arial is fractional numbers 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4.

Thanks..
What do you mean look up the unicode for the fraction??? BTW....It only shows up as a question mark in the newsgroup. The printed document just shows the number before it... and a blank space where the fraction should be. "Amedee Van Gasse" wrote in message ...

Thanks.. What do you mean look up the unicode for the fraction??? What is Unicode? Unicode provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language. Fundamentally, computers just deal with numbers. They store letters and other characters by assigning a number for each one. Before Unicode was invented, there were hundreds of different encoding systems for assigning these numbers. No single encoding could contain enough characters: for example, the European Union alone requires several different encodings to cover all its languages. Even for a single language like English no single encoding was adequate for all the letters, punctuation, and technical symbols in common use. These encoding systems also conflict with one another. That is, two encodings can use the same number for two different characters, or use different numbers for the same character. Any given computer (especially servers) needs to support many different encodings; yet whenever data is passed between different encodings or platforms, that data always runs the risk of corruption. Unicode is changing all that! Unicode provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language. The Unicode Standard has been adopted by such industry leaders as Apple, HP, IBM, JustSystem, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Sun, Sybase, Unisys and many others. Unicode is required by modern standards such as XML, Java, ECMAScript (JavaScript), LDAP, CORBA 3.0, WML, etc., and is the official way to implement ISO/IEC 10646. It is supported in many operating systems, all modern browsers, and many other products. The emergence of the Unicode Standard, and the availability of tools supporting it, are among the most significant recent global software technology trends. Incorporating Unicode into client-server or multi-tiered applications and websites offers significant cost savings over the use of legacy character sets. Unicode enables a single software product or a single website to be targeted across multiple platforms, languages and countries without re-engineering. It allows data to be transported through many different systems without corruption.
