copying from character map to sl notecard
Cristinaa Anatra Registered User Join date: 29 Dec 2007 Posts: 8	05-09-2009 21:24 I have looked everywhere for this. Please help. How can i copy an image from character map on my computer and paste it to a notecard on sl? The viewer before this allowed it....the new viewer won't do it. I am at a loss. Thank you for any advice you can give. Cristinaa

I used the control C / control P method. _____________________ Goodbye for now from human Weston, beagle Weston, and Keyboard Guy. Best of both lives to you all.

Thought maybe there is a setting someplace that opens it up or closed that ability. Yes i used ctrl c and ctrl v. Will go back and try ctrl p. I do hearts and stuff for gestures with them. Thank you so much for replying ) Cristinaa

I saw a post about this in the past couple of weeks, which may have the solution for you: /327/01/317301/1.html

The SL viewer ships with it's own font, Meta, and doesn't use Arial, for most characters. It seems to fall back to your local operating system fonts for some characters (mostly Asian and eastern European languages).
