[RBASE-L] - Re: Subscript characters?

[Lawrence Wright]

The only time I have seen this work is with special fonts for the Math and Sciences - that are loaded like any other font in Windows. You should be able to find them on the internet and they may cost something. Or, another way by using special document editing software for math and sciences to modify the RBase output after the printing to a file – like in MS Word but with the special graphic symbols that are required for the subject matter (Not the choice I would choose but you gota do what you gota do to get it done).   The ALT 0178 is using a special character in the symbol library of the Arial Font ALT 0179 will give you a superscript 3 just like the ALT 0178 superscript 2.   If you have one of these fonts or want to check out what is on your computer from any Microsoft Office application: While in the edit document mode: from the Insert Menu at the top of the window (MS WORD or MS Outlook) select Symbol and a window of the fonts and symbols should open showing all the available symbols within the active font. You can change the font via the Drop Down List Box in the upper left corner and view the character code for the selected symbol in the lower right – in ASCII Hex, ACSII Decimal (0178) or Unicode Hex.   That is all....   Larry   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Wolfe Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 2:56 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Subscript characters?   Hey Karen,   unfortunately when you use the alt characters to make special characters, you are limited to the 256 different characters of the ascii character chart (and not all of those are visible characters).   http://www.asciitable.com/   so unfortunately if you go that route, you're pretty darn limited to your symbols.   note that 0178 is equal to 253, im not sure why but they produce the same symbol :P   not sure if there's some other way to do subscript/superscript though ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 11:30 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Subscript characters?   I don't want superscript, I want SUBscript, where the number is below the regular characters.
