Re: [PEDA] Alternate Characters in 99SE

[Jim Monroe]

I wrote a few utility programs a number of years ago that made use of all 
three of Protel's PCB font's (this was back in the days of Protel for 
Windows 2.x). At that time the fonts only supported the basic ASCII 
character set (as you see printed on the keys of your keyboard) and even 
some of those characters weren't fully supported in all three fonts. Not 
only that, some of the character spacing was and is incorrect.

I believe Protel's PCB fonts have not been updated in all these years. If 
that's the case then you are out of luck. Perhaps someone else has more 
recent knowledge of Protel's PCB font set and can confirm my assumption.

Greetings all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to include alternate characters in a
Protel PCB text string.
I want to use the   symbol (+/-) for some tolerances but the usual Alt+0177
doesn't work.
It results in a blank space in the string. The Protel font doesn't seem to
support this character.
Thanks in advance,
