Hi Folks,
I have recently found myself in a position where I am dealing with text in some non-unicode encodings. The text includes the soft-hyphen character (0xAD) – which under ISO 8559-1 encoding is rendered as a hyphen.
When I paste this text into photoshop, the soft-hyphen disappears. The soft-hyphen is still there (if I copy the text and paste it back into notepad it is visible, also it shows up in the text layer’s name) but it is not being rendered.
Now in Photoshop 7 the soft-hyphen renders as expected so I believe this is something caused by Photoshop’s transition to Unicode in later versions (I see this ‘problem’ in Photoshop CS3 and CS4 – don’t have CS or CS2 to test).
* Is it possible to change the type tool’s behavior to the older version – i.e. to show soft-hyphen?
* Would anyone know if CS/CS2 behave like this as well?
p.s. I need soft-hyphen to be rendered because I am working with an old/legacy font which ‘renders’ soft-hyphen as a different glyph.
Thanks,
Deepak
