![]() ![]() ![]() Fundamentally systems like OS X are intended to be used with Unicode standard fonts. In Tiger, (and +*every other version of Mac OS since Ke圜aps was introduced*+ ) you used to be able to just pop open keyboard viewer, choose any active font from the drop-down, hold your modifier keys to find the character you want, and click the key with your mouse to insert the character. Try dragging and dropping from char palette to Fireworks text editorĬharacter Palette doesn't show which key invokes Unicode F059, so I end up just going back to Fireworks and hitting every key until I find the glyph I'm looking for. ![]() Get error: "Couldn't set application font" (which is already set, btw) Scroll through list til I find the flower I'm looking for and double-click it.

I have a font called "Type Embellishments One" Particularly for glyphs, dingbats, ornaments, etc. and I frequently use Keyboard viewer to easily find, view and/or insert characters from a Could you explain why you think that in more detail? Do you often need to use fonts with non-standard mappings? Keyboard Viewer is pretty much useless without the ability to select the font. I'd consider this a major bug with the Leopard Keyboard Viewer. However, if you run the Tiger version of KeyboardViewerServer.app (I copied the app from the above location to my Applications/Utilities folder), the input menu will remember this and use the Tiger version until you restart the computer. Unfortunately, replacing the entire Leopard ponent with the Tiger version does not seem to work (causes weirdness when trying to invoke the KV from the input menu). Leopard is 1.3 - The font dropdown is labeled "Font mapping:" Tiger version is 1.1 - The font dropdown is labeled "Font:" I was able to restore the full font selection menu in Keyboard Viewer by launching a Tiger backup of "System > Library > Components > ponent > Contents > Shared Support > KeyboardViewerServer.app" Interestingly, my Leopard Keyboard Viewer had the font drop-down, but it only had like 8 fonts in the list (these correspond with the "PIFonts" that are in my Character Viewer)- with no way to see/choose the rest of my fonts. different versions of unicode Hebrew font will be more or less accurate in portraying the characters on the keyboard viewer. Is there a way to bring it back? This is important to me because, e.g. With 10.5 that ability seems to have disappeared.
