Hello John,
Thanks for the tip. However, I did not meet with success. As per
your instructions, I tried Windows (Latin 1), as well as the other
aforementioned encodings, and I changed the font several times to
the three that I mentioned previously. Again, regardless of which
ones I chose, using that menu option did not make any difference.
In some cases, a few of the characters displayed properly, but the
vast majority did not.
Back to the drawing board.
Do you want to try one more font? I have FoxPrint from the old
FoxPro, which may or may not have the same encoding as the ones you
tried. (It was a FFIL resource fork file, so I just copied it to a
DFONT datafork file; it's a TrueType font.)
In any case, the Latin-type encodings are NOT cp437, so they will not
work with that encoding. Thus the real question is for BBSW: How can
we extend the app with other encodings? Is it user extensible, or
does it require special coding by the BB developers?
-W
PS. I once created my own cp437 font, but it's bitmap only so it's
not recognized by modern OS X apps.
