Within this folder are the following mapping table files:
• chinsimpmac.txt: Used for legacy files that use Mac OS X Simplified Chinese encodings.
• chintradbig5.txt: Used for legacy files that use Traditional Chinese encodings.
• japanesemac.txt: Used for legacy files that use Mac OS X Japanese encodings.
• japanesewin.txt: Used for legacy files that use Windows Japanese encodings.
• koreanmac.txt: Used for legacy files that use Mac OS X Korean encodings.
• koreanwin.txt: Used for legacy files that use Windows Korean encodings.
As installed, these mapping tables contain instructions for creating custom mappings,
but they do not include any actual mappings. To create custom mappings, open the
file that corresponds to the encoding used by the target project, and then follow the
instructions in the file to create the mappings you need. Then quit QuarkXPress,
relaunch, and open the project. When you open the project, QuarkXPress uses your
custom mapping table to convert the project's characters to Unicode.
Mapping tables are used only when opening pre-8.0 projects. Once you have saved a
project in the current QuarkXPress version format, the text is in Unicode and the
mapping table is no longer required.
Type Tricks
Type Tricks is XTensions software that adds the following typographic utilities: Make
Fraction, Make Price, Word Space Tracking, Line Check, and Custom Underline.
Make Fraction
The Make Fraction command (Style > Type Style) enables you to format fractions
automatically. This command becomes active when a fraction is selected or the cursor
is placed adjacent to (and on the same line as) the characters that make up the fraction.
Examples of fractions that could be formatted are: 11/42, 131/416, and 11/4x.
To convert characters into a fraction, select the characters and choose Style > Type
Style > Make Fraction.
The characters in the fraction are converted using Baseline Shift and the formatting
specified in the Fraction/Price tab of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit >
Preferences > Application > Fraction/Price).
Make Price
The Make Price command (Style > Type Style) enables you to format prices
automatically. This command is available when text that can be formatted as a price
(such as $1.49, £20.00, and a.bc) is selected or the cursor is adjacent to (and on the
same line as) any of the characters. A price must contain a radix (decimal symbol),
which is indicated by a period or comma. Characters before and after the radix can
be only letters or numbers.
To convert characters to a price, select the characters you want to format and choose
Style > Type Style > Make Price.
