:I was able to extract the font okay, but ran into the usual problem of extracting a font from a PDF, i.e. Distiller throws away a lot of useful info when embedding the font, especially when it's only a subset. As a result it took a lot of messing about with the font before I discovered that the missing info was in fact the unicode date. So using the actual numbering constructs from the PDF I'm going through each character and giving it its correct unicode reference. It's going to take a while though so please bear with me. --] (]) 22:45, 17 July 2011 (UTC) :I was able to extract the font okay, but ran into the usual problem of extracting a font from a PDF, i.e. Distiller throws away a lot of useful info when embedding the font, especially when it's only a subset.

Great work with Belle Vue Zoo

Don't forget though that everything needs to be cited. It's difficult to think back months later and wonder where you came across something. Anyway. keep up the good work. --Malleus Fatuorum 18:59, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello there. =)

I have received no complaints from wikipedia administrators about my added photos in the List of The Sword of Truth characters characters. Apparently they were accepted because they are promotional pics, in low-resolution, cited, and followed all copyright guidelines when it comes to those types of photos. When I do get complaints from them personally, I will remove the photos myself and revert it to the last version. But for now, please don't touch the page while I contact the admin. Thank you. --Kit the Kat (talk) 07:02, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

You need to learn about Fair Use Rationals before you post them there again. FUR images are not usually accepted on List articles. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 18:23, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

The British series 10 is US series 9 and came about because UK TV split season 5 for some reason or another, as a result every series after that has been 1 out from the official season number. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 23:33, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

FontForge

I am trying to extract the Uni1F600Emoticons (TrueType) font from U1F600 Emoticons.pdf (which is the decrypted version of the original Unicode chart U1F600). But FontForge abruptly shuts down the moment I select Uni1F600Emoticons font. While I can extract majority of the embedded fonts, there are some fonts like this one that FontForge fails to extract. I've installed all the dependencies of FontForge. See if you can extract the font, and if you can just send me the font. Is something wrong with FontForge or is it my installation? Regards. – Aditya 7  ¦  14:51, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
