I agree with Dan, but I understand that Adobe just can't throw Unicode support into the existing code base of Frame. What I always do for these characters that are unavailable is create user variables to concoct the character needed. In your case follow these steps: - Create a character style named "t'" with only the "spread" setting set, set it to -15.0% (or-10.0%, I can't remember). - Next create a variable named "t'" with the definition as: <t'>t'<Default ¶ Font> - Insert the "t'" variable wherever you need the t-hachek character. You will need to replace the t-hachek in your text file with some sort of entity markup before you import the text, then do a search and replace to insert the variable. Let me know if you want more clarification.
