Hi, Can anyone on the list help me respond to this inquiry? Thanks Magda ________________________________
Date/Time: Sat Jul 19 16:38:16 EDT 2003 Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Report Type: Other Question, Problem, or Feedback Using UniCode & International Charecters with Peachtree Accounting Program Up to Peachtrre Version 2003 we were able to use Unicode for entering International Charecters, such as Arabic, in the description field of Invoices, Receipts, Purchase and Payments. We enter Arabic text in the description field and were able to use peachtree succesfuly for our company's accounting. With version 2004 Unicode charecters are displayed as empty square boxes. it appears that the font used in input templates has changed and does not allow for foreign characters to display correctly. Unicode, to my understanding, was adopted by Microsoft in Windows 2000 and Windows XP and is a character set for protocols evolving beyond the use of ASCII, that enables a far greater range of names and characters than can be achieved using ASCII or extended ASCII encoding for character data. If we type Unicode in the search box of Windows XP Help, we will find this explained. Windows XP has a language bar that can be used to switch the language (using Unicode) and that makes us able to enter characters in whatever language is installed besides English. My Regional setting in the Control Panel is set correctly and Arabic works in most other Programs including Peachtree Complete 2003. The print driver is set correctly and prints Arabic correctly even with Peachtree Premium 2004 as it did with version 2003 In previous versions of Peachtree up to version 2003 we were able to enter foreign Characters in the description field of Invoices, Receipts, Purchase and Payments. With version 2004, it appears that the font used in input templates has changed and does not allow for foreign characters to display correctly. In PPA 2004 Foreign characters are displayed as empty square boxes when we activate the extended characters by pressing Alt+Shift (or changing the language from the language bar) This problem does not happen with PCA 2003 on the same computer and with all other programs. It appears that the font used in these input templates is not the same font used in previous versions of Peachtree. How can this problem be solved ? -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- (End of Report)
