Frequently Asked Questions

A font I bought doesn't have a 'j', 'u', 'y' or 'w', or these characters look funny. Why?

Scriptorium Frequently Asked Questions
A lot of our fonts are based on historical calligraphy or antique type designs. In the many historical periods and regions there were no letters for 'j', 'u', or 'w'. These letters are variations of 'i' and 'v' respectively and were developed in the last few hundred years. 'Y' as we have it in English is related to 'g'. The current form is modern in origin, derived from the Greek upsilon to differentiate it from the 'g'.

Why do national characters in my user ID look funny?

GnuPG Frequently Asked Questions - GnuPG.org
According to OpenPGP, GnuPG encodes user ID strings (and other things) using UTF-8. In this encoding of Unicode, most national characters get encoded as two- or three-byte sequences. For example, å (0xE5 in ISO-8859-1) becomes Ã¥ (0xC3, 0xA5). This might also be the reason why keyservers can't find your key. This will be fixed after GnuPG has been upgraded to autoconf-2.50.

What's the difference between -j and -Y?

Transcode_Wiki: Transcode FAQ
The difference between -j and -Y is only the order that transcode does the clipping. In the manual page we find that the video frame operations ordering is fixed: So if one needs to do frame clipping and resizing, in a specific order, he can choose the apropriate transcode options. For instance, if one wants to clip and then resize the video frame, in this order, he can use -j (clip) and -B (resize). In this case -Y and -B would not work, as the operation -Y is done after -B.

Why do some of the characters in my font print as boxes?

Scriptorium Frequently Asked Questions
First check to make sure that all the characters are printing as boxes. Some fonts only have upper or lower case characters because they are based on historic calligraphy which only had one form for each letter. This is not a defect, but a traditional characteristic of those types of alphabets. If it's not one of these obvious things and the problem persists, it is an indication that the font is too complex for the memory configuration which you are currently using.
