![]() ![]() If the software you are using support the ALK you can start typing. Choose PinYin for Traditinal typeing ABC for Simplified. Another menu item appear in your menu bar a Òpensil iconÓ from it select show menu in Enlgish or your main language. Select the Chinese version you are going to typeset: either Traditional or Simplified. Then select the Langauge from the pull down menuÑyou should be able to see a flag of the localize version of the system you are running in you mnenu bar. The first thing that you need to do is make sure that you have the Apple Language Kits instlled for the Langauges you are trying to typeset. According to Adobe if your fonts are up today with the unicode regulations, you might not have any problem typeing in Chinese. In InDesign 2.0.1ÑI hope you have that versionÑfixed the problem. Exactly what was the problem, I do not know, I just know that whenever you selected the Chinese Keyboard and type the character, you could select them character youi needed, but as soon as you clicked return to paste it in your text frame in just added weird characters. ![]() It seemed that InDesign 2.0 could not access the imput method of the Operating system. And to remedy the lack of Asian support I wrote some scripts. I now have all Asian versions of Pagemaker and of Quark but work in InDesign vanilla 2.0.1 and ME. Well I had to buy Quark Asian versions after all. I chose Pagemaker over Quark because Pagemaker is cheaper. I never earned my money back from this expensive debacle. I had to check every line carefully every time I printed. Imagine sending such files to a service bureau. That is, a page printed twice could have holes in it one time and print fine the next time. It inconsistently dropped characters from pages without any warning. Although it is made especially for these languages it was a nightmare to work with it. I myself have licenses of Pagemaker Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Vanilla InDesign imports text as Unicode only.Īntonina, don't go with Pagemaker. With these editions you can import any kind of text from Word and a few other word processors. For that you need the special edition ID 1.5.2 ME or CE from Winsoft France. This works too for any language actually Cyrrilic, Hungarian and the like. a line can begin with a period or a comma or whatever. It works but you have no automatic control over punctuation and the like, i.e. Yes you can work with Any PC font in ID2 but you have to put them either in a font folder named "Fonts" in the InDesign folder or in the Fonts folder of the Adobe folder found inside the Application support folder of the System folder. If you see weird or pink squares the majority of the characters and not supported, you could try schanging it to the font installed by the ALK and see if the text looks different.Īny how let me know if I can be of any assistance. Import some text and change the font to the one you are testing. If you want I can try your fonts, just send one set of the family you have: you have the demo version, install the fonts inside the fonts folder in the InDesign Folder, next time you start InDesign you should be able to see the font in the menu. I have done several projects in Chinese, Korean and Japanese and beside the work around I am veery happy on the results. Ihave not done any Cyrillic projects, but I can check if that will work, just let me know where I can find some smaples of their characters. All the editing hs to be done either in Microsoft Word or Simple Text (EditText in OS 10.x). If I use the Chinese and Korean fonts that were installed with the Apple Langugage Kits, I can typeset the text, but not imput. Adobe still working with some issues supporting Chinese/Korean Characters when imputing text into InDesign. ![]()
