Dears, I met a problem which I already have in a oldest version… When I export files with cotations, my diameter symbol change. I found a solution on a past version using an other font but now that doesn’t work…
The symbol Ø changed in that: ÿ when I save it in pdf
thanks for your help
ps: FOR INFO I USED RHINO ON A MAC BUT TROUGH WINDOW 10 WITH PARALLELS DESKTOP
Hi Magali,
Yes, this is a known problem - I think this has been reported before. Problem is, Mac has decided to use a different extended ASCII character mapping then Windows (and I think the rest of the world). The ‘standard’ ASCII character map for Ø is 0216. however on Mac that translates to ÿ, which is 0255 in the ‘standard’ character map. To get Ø on Mac, you need 0175, but on the Windows side that will make this: ¯
This is probably the problem - you are using Rhino for Windows on Mac (on an unsupportedParallels system), so Rhino for Windows is outputting what it thinks is correct for Windows, but it is not correct for Mac.
thanks a lot for your fast and precise answer !
