Ron Webber Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I am having some difficulty resolving this issue, so maybe the Accordance Community can give me some help with this. I have selected the Accordance preference to export characters as unicode. Whenever I copy text in Accordance and paste it into an application that should support these characters, I end up with some unusual glyphs in place of the quotation marks. It also frequently affects the hyphenation characters as well. I am using Accordance 8.1.3 on a 1.67 GHz PowerBook G4. I also am running the clipboard program CopyPaste Pro (though I have the same results if I quit the program). An example of the pasted text appears below (assuming it looks the same in the forum). I'll also include a photo of the image from my screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Ron: I cannot reproduce this, and wonder what markers you have set to delineate the citation, in your Citation preferences. I assume you are Copying as Citation, or how are you copying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Webber Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hello Helen, Thank you for responding. Yes, I am using Copy as Citation. I can get this to function correctly by using straight quotes in the Citation preferences, but if I use the default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lang Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ron, I'm afraid I can't duplicate this problem either. I get curly quotes and em-dashes when I copy as citation with the unicode option checked. What program are you pasting into? What can you tell us about the Unicode settings you have for the system?

Ron Webber Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 David and Helen, Thank you for your responses. I finally narrowed down the problem. I had selected the Rosetta font for my display of English Bible texts and reference resources. The Rosetta font has different glyphs in some of the keyboard layout positions so when I was copying to the clipboard, Accordance was converting it to unicode, which resulted in some unexpected character glyphs. Too bad, I did like the looks of Rosetta. Well, thanks again. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I believe that Rosetta is based on Times New Roman. It should really only be used for the transliteration symbols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
