Wingdings Not Working In Word For Mac

Wingdings Not Working In Word For Mac Average ratng: 5,0/5 3791 reviews

The rendering of Opaquefont should give the word 'Opaque' on all platforms. This is the correct behavior I see on Windows. If it is not the behavior observed on the Mac then there is a bug on that platform. Please be know that I am on a Mac and a lot of PC work arounds have not been working. Is there a way to mail marge checkmarks (tick) into a work document from excel? Also is there a way to remove blank merge field lines, such as a second address line (using excel and word)? Suite #/ Apt# (remove this one if blank). I found that two Wingdings symbols do not print in Word 2011 under Snow Leopard: The 2D box created by typing a lower-case o, and the small cross from typing an upper-case X. They display in print layout view, but upon selecting the Print command, they do not show up in the preview box, nor do they appear on a printed sheet or when saved as a PDF. At a guess, the Wingdings fonts are used for bullets. Note that you could also try deleting the ListGal.dat file in your Windows user profile and see if that fixes the crashing bulleted lists. To locate the file, first display hidden files and folders in File Explorer/Windows Explorer. Stefan Blom, Microsoft Word MVP.

Overview

The Wingdings fonts were designed by Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow in 1990 and 1991. The fonts were originally named Lucida Icons, Arrows, and Stars to complement the Lucida text font family by the same designers. Renamed, reorganized, and released in 1992 as Microsoft Wingdings(TM), the three fonts provide a harmoniously designed set of icons representing the common components of personal computer systems and the elements of graphical user interfaces. There are icons for PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, trackball, hard drive, diskette, tape cassette, printer, fax, etc., as well as icons for file folders, documents, mail, mailboxes, windows, clipboard, and wastebasket. In addition, Wingdings includes icons with both traditional and computer significance, such as writing tools and hands, reading glasses, clipping scissors, bell, bomb, check boxes, as well as more traditional images such as weather signs, religious symbols, astrological signs, encircled numerals, a selection of ampersands and interrobangs, plus elegant flowers and flourishes. Pointing and indicating are frequent functions in graphical interfaces, so in adition to a wide selection of pointing hands, the Wingdings fonts also offer arrows in careful gradations of weight and different directions and styles. For variety and impact as bullets, asterisks, and ornaments, Windings also offers a varied set of geometric circles, squares, polygons, targets, and stars.

Hi David
Thanks for your quick response!
I did not manage to run it yet. I checked my fonts with the Font Book. Calibri was not installed, so I​ fixed that. Now I should have all default fonts. But addPlot still produces the same error. I tried to check the available fonts from within R with the help of fonts() out of the extrafonts-package. It shows me this:
[4] 'AppleMyungjo' 'Arial Black' 'Arial'
[7] 'Arial Narrow' 'Arial Rounded MT Bold' 'Arial Unicode MS'
[13] 'Brush Script MT' 'Calibri' 'Cambria'
[16] 'Candara' 'Circular Air Light' 'Comic Sans MS'
[22] 'Courier New' 'DIN Alternate' 'DIN Condensed'
[28] 'Lao Sangam MN' 'Lato' 'Lato Light'
[31] 'Lato Semibold' 'Luminari' 'Microsoft Sans Serif'
[37] 'Trebuchet MS' 'Verdana' 'Webdings'

'Courier New' 'Times New Roman' and 'Calibri' are there. However, 'Symbol' is missing. I could not find a way to make Symbol available to R. Then again, I am not even sure, if this really is the way to check availability of fonts as 'Helevetica' is missing in the list and I know that R uses 'Helevetica'.
So I tried the second option you suggested and specify available fonts with addPlot()
doc <- addPlot(doc, function() print(bp), vector.graphic = TRUE,
fontname_sans = 'Calibri',
fontname_symbol = 'Wingdings')
It did not work.
I also tried
doc <- addPlot(doc, function() print(bp), vector.graphic = TRUE,
fontname_sans = 'Helvetica',
fontname_symbol = 'Helvetica')
which did not work either.
I googled quit a lot, but I could not find a solution to solve this fonts issue.
Any further hints?
All the best,
Fred

It means you don't have fonts needed by the graphical device (Microsoft fonts to match default values of ReporteRs). In addPlot, corresponding arguments are:

fontname_serif, fontname_sans, fontname_mono, fontname_symbol

font names for font faces. Use fonts available on operating system.

fontname_serif = 'Times New Roman', fontname_sans = 'Calibri',

fontname_mono = 'Courier New', fontname_symbol = 'Symbol'


First solution is to install those fonts. Another solution would be to specify fontnames corresponding to thoses on your system.

Hi there,

somehow I am not able to placeeditable vector graphs in either word or powerPoint documents, but only when I use my mac.

I do the following:

#------------------------------------

require( ReporteRs )

require( ggplot2 )

doc <- pptx()

Insert Wingding In Word

doc <- addSlide(doc,'Two Content' )

myplot <- ggplot(data=PlantGrowth,aes(x=group, y=weight, fill=group))+

geom_boxplot()

doc <- addPlot(doc,function() print(myplot), vector.graphic = FALSE )

doc <- addPlot(doc,function() print(myplot), vector.graphic = TRUE )

Error ineval(substitute(expr), envir, enclos) :

Fontconfig error: unable to match fontpattern

Rahsia nombor magnum 4d. #------------------------------------

Everything works fine untilthe last line.

I must be a problem related tothe mac (I am using El Capitan and java version “1.6.0_65) as the same codeworks well with a windows workstation. On both systems I used the newestversions of R (version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31) -- 'Sincere Pumpkin Patch').

I am not able to fix thisissue. Any solutions or hints?
Kind regards,
