the Hiragino font to that character. If the application cannot find an active font that
contains the character, the character still displays as a box or symbol.
Font Fallback is implemented as an application preference, meaning that the feature is
either on or off for your copy of the program. The feature is on by default, but if you need
to turn it off, uncheck Font Fallback in the Font Fallback pane of the Preferences dialog
box (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences).
For more information about the Font Fallback feature, see "Preferences — Application —
Font Fallback."
Importing and exporting text with Unicode options
You can specify an encoding type when importing text and exporting text. The encoding
type specifies the byte sequence used to represent each glyph in text. When working with
international text or HTML text, you can choose the appropriate encoding to convert all
the characters in the file to Unicode. The options work as follows:
• The Import dialog box includes an Encoding drop-down menu when a plain text or
"XPress Tags" text file is selected. The software attempts to determine the encoding of
selected text files and apply an appropriate encoding type. You can, however, choose a
different option for text.
• The Save Text dialog box provides an Encoding drop-down menu when you're exporting
text in plain text or "XPress Tags" format.
• The Convert Quotes option continues to convert straight quotes to typesetter's quotation
marks and double hyphens to em dashes.
Working with font mapping rules
When you open a project, the application checks to make sure all the fonts applied to text
are active on your system. If not, the Missing Fonts alert displays, which gives you the
opportunity to replace missing fonts with active fonts. You can save those replacements
as global "font mapping rules," which can be applied automatically each time you open a
project.
To create a font mapping rule, first open a project that uses a missing (inactive) font. Click
List Fonts to display the Missing Fonts alert. Use the Replace button to choose replacement
fonts for any missing fonts, then click Save As Rule. All the replacements listed in the
Missing Fonts alert are saved as rules, even if only some replacements are selected. If you
change your mind about a replacement, select its line and click Reset. You can also choose
File > Revert to Saved after you open the article. This will display the Missing Fonts alert
again and allow you to make changes. (Note that the changes apply only to that article
— not to any rules you just saved.)
Once you create a font mapping rule by clicking Save As Rule in the Missing Fonts alert,
the rule is saved in preferences for your copy of the application and applied to all articles.
