Question on QuarkXpress

Do any of you have a
list of key combinations to enter special charactors like a bullet dot in QuarkXpress on Mac?

In most fonts, a bullet is Option-8. This is not a Quark issue; it’s a font issue. You can use a utility such as KeyCaps to see what characters you get when you hold down the Option key.

Sorry for intrusion. Nonetheless it’s graphic related.

Is there a newsgroup devoted to QuarkXpress?

No. Quark, Inc apparently got tired of hearing how much better InDesign was from their own users and deleted their user forums, too.

Do any of you have a

Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map.

However, a bullet dot in PC Xpress is Alt-Shift-*.

Is Quark Inc. still a cesspool of people with bad attitudes? Is it true they moved support to India?

Run by the guy who gives cesspools a bad name: Fred Ibrahimi. It’s his attitude that carries over into every department, much worse since Tim Gill retired.

Is it true they moved support to India?

And development, as well, after Ibrahimi called the american programmers lazy and and ungrateful in so many words, and essentially blamed all of Quark’s problems on them.

Of course, Adobe’s American (and non-American) staff has had little problem making a competitor that wipes the floor with Quark.

He has met the enemy and it is him.

Do any of you have a

Hmm. Can’t find that on my Mac. 🙂

The default bullet in most fonts usually doesn’t satisfy this typographer. Bullets of various useful sizes and shapes can be found in Bitstream’s Commercial Pi.

Sorry.

Try Keycaps, then.

I’m aware. There’s a dual G4 running Panther sitting on the desk behind me, right next to my laptop.

His phrasing is somewhat ambiguous, and I’ll apologize to nick if I’ve misread him.

I don’t quite see the ambiguity of "in QuarkXpress on Mac"…
