| Posted 7/21/2004 11:56 AM (GMT -6) |   | It is one of the extended characters, the « (option-q) and the » (option-shift-q) on Mac.
Instead they should be replaced by option-? and option-! in one of my personal fonts, where they look different than usual.
Am I too stupid or is it a bug that Finale doesn't replace the characters?
Thanks for help - I have plenty of files to change! | | Back to Top | |

I assume you refer to the German Mac keyboard.
I took 30 sec. to create the following script:
search "«" replace "¡"
search "»" replace "¿"
...that was succesful for me.
If you use a specific font, you might write:
search [font1] "«" replace "¡" [font2]
search [font1] "»" replace "¿" [font2]
Let me know if it doesn't work for you. If it does, you can batch process your many files!
Best regards,
Robert | | Back to Top | |

| Posted 7/22/2004 8:52 AM (GMT -6) | | Thanks, Robert, but it doesn't work.
First I thought it would do it with the german language ("suche" instead of search and "ersetze" instead of replace), but it does simply nothing.
No - it seems to do something but there is no result.
I DID succeed in changing "times" to a different font, but not the desired charcaters in a textblock.
