Incorrect special characters

[Baruch Brodersen]

David,

 

The shortcuts apply to the Symbol character set and not the Standard Windows character set. Changing your font or creating a symbol character format solve that part of your difficulties.

 

Also, the keystroke sequence seems to be off slightly. Instead of Ctrl+q+3, you should type Ctrl+q 3, that is, press Ctrl and q at the same time, release the keys, then press 3.

I am trying to insert the following special characters using FrameMaker 7.2.

I have tried the FrameMaker character sets PDF provided by Microtype for FrameMaker 7.2 and also the character sets listed for FrameMaker 8 on the FrameMaker resources website. 

But they appear as the wrong symbols.  

 

*     ≥ (greater than or equal to) Ctrl + q + 3 or ANSI 0179

*     ≠ (not equal to) Ctrl + q + 9 or ANSI 0185

*     ≤ (less than or equal to) Ctrl + q + # or ANSI 0163 (according to microtype) ANSI 0162 According to FrameMaker 8 manual

 

Any suggestions?
