eudcedit anyone?

[Bluto]

Hi all...

I have been trying to figure this out and am at a stumbling block.

Machine: PC ---- XP (Home) ---- clean, no problems at all, runs well.

Problem: Using a (possibly) lesser known program called "eudcedit.exe" that lives in the i386 folder in (all?) windows OS's. It's a clunky, but potentially useful program you can use to create your own characters and then access & use them from Character Map.

I can make and save and use any of the characters I make in IE, but NOT Firefox. This is what they look like in Firefox -----> 

In case this doesn't appear this way to you, it's a box with an "EO" in the top of the box and underneath it is "09". In other words Firefox doesn't recognize it so it defaults to this character.

I don't like using IE, so using it just to use these characters isn't an option.

So you know I have made numerous changes to the fonts types, styles, encoding and so on. So either I haven't found the right combination or I don't know what I'm doing, or both....and it's probably both.


So....does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it in Firefox?!

arrrrrgh

I understand the problem but the underlying issue is the "eudcedit.exe" is a utility from Microsoft for Microsoft programs.

Firefox is an aftermarket browser that obviously isn't fully in tune with Microsoft products. Firefox is not able to render the fonts/characters created with the Microsoft utility.

Answer: You will probably Have to use IE as it is probably your only option.

Sorry I was just agreeing with you!

Ahh...ok, now that's helpful! Thanks, and....no problem. I was, I guess, hoping that there was some utility or work-around with this thing that I hadn't thought of, or tried yet.

What you are saying makes sense tho, but I'm stubborn enough to believe that this thing *can't* be done, but........maybe it can't

Appreciated.
