Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I've been trying to import an HTML file that includes mostly English, but does have some Greek. The Greek was originally in Teknia, but I shifted it to Helena before importing. But when I import it into Accordance, the Greek imports as Geneva. Coincidentally, all the Greek in the original file is also red, but it imports as black. The color issue is not a concern for me, but I language issue is. When I pull the HTML file up in a text editor, the Greek & color is correct. I seem to remember something about this in the forums before, but I couldn't find it today when I went looking. I'm running Accordance 7 in Mac OS x (10.4.6). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 Um...I haven't seen a response to this yet. Maybe it's because I didn't phrase my problem as a question? So I'll try again: Why isn't Accordance retaining font information-specifically those words that are in Helena font-when I import an HTML file?

Helen Brown Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Sorry, Lorinda. Font information is not retained in HTML import to a User Tool, only in copy and paste. All the text is converted to Geneva, i.e. a roman font, and you set the font display as for any other tool. I suppose an exception could have been made for the Accordance fonts, but until now that has not been programmed into the import of HTML (which is complicated enough already).

Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Ah. I had begun to wonder if that was the case. Although I didn't find copy and paste to preserve the fonts either. I'll try a few more variations on that. I would suggest, then, that next tiime you revamp the various help files you make this clear in the section on importing HTML. All the sources I consulted (Help, User's Guide, and I think Mini Manual) included a statement like this: "To preserve the font and style information you can convert the text to HTML, or copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop the text into the Edit window" This wording is from the Help in Accordance, but my memory is I found the like in the other sources. I assumed that "font and style information" included the font tagging in addition to bold, italics, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
