*****Representant i Norge for DXbase logging program***** =20 -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] P=E5 vegne av Mark Shelton Sendt: 08. februar 2003 08:03 Til: DXbase Reflector (E-mail) Emne: [DXBase] Slashed Zero Not I understand that if I want text in a card or label to include the infamous slashed zero, aka =D8, I need to select a font that uses that character for zero. I like to do this for callsigns only, leaving the zeros in dates and times unslashed. The problem I'm having is that I can right-click a text object in the label designer and get two different sets of available fonts when choosing between properties and fonts in the pop-up menu. For example, when I choose properties, I am not given Slashed Zero Arial and an available font, but then when I choose fonts, it is. The only problem is even though I can format my text using that font via the font menu, I can't print it. The text in the text block disappears. What gives? Getting back to my original comment. Is there any way or built-in function that I can apply to a variable that would to an ASCII replace ans substitute 0xD8 for 0x30 (that's alt-0216 for zero, or =D8 for 0)? A feature like this would be a heck of a lot better than what appears to be a bunch of corrupted fonts.
