I thought Freeway Pro enabled me to include Chinese letters in my Website. Obviously I was wrong. The option of including them as graphic elements is no substitute. Even MS Word can cope with that.

Sorry, where are you trying to do this, and how is Freeway letting you
down?
What is your page’s encoding set to? If it’s on Automatic, try
changing it deliberately to Unicode and see if that fixes it for you.
You should be able to put any form of text in your page. As long as
the font you’ve specified for that run of HTML text contains the
characters you type, you should see them precisely as written in your
browser.

The encoding was already Unicode 6.0 UTF 8 . But I can’t paste this

If I try, it looks like this:

I just tried this in Freeway Pro 5.5. I created a new blank document,
drew an HTML box on the page, double-clicked inside it, and copied and
pasted the two glyphs you typed in your message. Preview in Freeway,
they look identical. Preview in Firefox, Safari, ditto. That’s on Mac
OS X 10.5.latest, using the default Serif font (Times) and no tweaking
of any kind.
You might want to investigate your font before anything else. Not
every font is Unicode-aware, and many do not properly hand off to the
nearest alternate when a character they don’t contain is requested.
Some have the wrong characters at the Unicode node-points, which
sounds a lot like what you’re describing here. Try what I did –
completely new, blank document, draw a box, double-click, and paste.

Nothing changes. I use Freeway Pro 5.4.2.

I’m pretty sure that’s not the latest version of 5.4, please see if an
update to the latest 5.4.x (free from Softpress) does the trick.
If not, try this trick: In your Mac’s System Preferences, create a new
user. Log out as your current user and log in as the new user. Start
up Freeway and see if the problem repeats for the new user. What this
does is isolate all of the fonts and preference changes you have made
in your regular user account, starting you off with a completely blank
slate. I’m not doubting what you’re seeing, I just can’t repeat it
here so I’m not sure where the problem is. Fonts are a safe bet, and
this is the quickest way I know to test that assumption.

Hi Marcus,
Freeway has supported Unicode characters for some time now (since version 3 or 4). I just checked in 5.4.3 and it pasting the characters from your message are fine for me too. What application are you pasting from? It could be something to do with the way that application is putting the text on the pasteboard. You could try using the Edit>Paste And Match Style option and if that doesn’t work, open the text file up in something like TextEdit (in Plain Text mode) and copy and paste it from there.

I am sorry, but I tried Walter’s suggestion. It didn’t help. I will try Joe’s.

Thanks Walter, thanks Joe.
Joe’s advice did the trick. It does work indeed. So Freeway didn’t let me down as I had feared.
