Character Map DA
Version 1.1 by G. Blaschek
Do you know how to generate the symbol for ╥╔ is not a subset of ╔╙? I
give you a hint: it╒s in the Symbol font. You can╒t find it in the Key
Caps DA? That╒s because you first have to press option-` and then
shift-A; Key Caps won╒t help you with such sequences. What? It does not
work? Ah, you have a German keyboard! Sorry, I can╒t help you then╔
You can now avoid experimenting with the Key Caps DA or looking
characters up in keystroke/character tables. Whenever you want to
insert a special character into your word processor document and you
don╒t know the proper key combination (or sequence), pull down the
Character Map DA from the apple menu, select the desired font from the
CharMap menu, find the character in the map, click on it, copy it into
the Clipboard and paste it into your document. Of course, Character Map
inserts the character in the font that╒s currently active within your
document. Thus you may have to select the generated character and
format it with the desired font.
Version 1.1 works now in a similar way as the Key Caps DA provided by
Apple. The generated characters appear in a line of text in the
Character Map window. Character Map does not generate keystrokes any
more, since it turned out that some word processors ignore keyboard
events when none of their windows is active, and this technique did not
work with other DAs. Now Character Map should work with all word
processors and all drawing programs and even with other desk
accessories.
The best thing is that Character Map DA is completely free. You can use
it and distribute it, but you must not take money for it. Should you
experience any problems, contact me under one of the addresses given
below.
