[RBASE-L] - Re: Subscript characters?

[Sami Aaron]

Karen -    I have a client who needs to have a field display a zero with a line through it (like the old NULL display) any time the user types zero in the field.  We accomplished this by creating a new font, based on the same font they always used (Arial Bold).  The font just displays the other character whenever the user types a zero.  This field can be placed on either a form or a report and I change the font to this new font.   Since your email is in HTML, I'll demonstrate here - forgive me, Bill for ignoring list protocol of text only files.   Normal:    H00A Font change:    H00A  although since you don't have my font on your computer, it might not display any differently ...   So, this might work for you.  If they sometimes need a normal 2 in the field then the font set could include a special character - like the tilde or something - that when typed displays the subscript font.   Sami   ----------------------------------------------------------------- Sami Aaron Software Management Specialists 19312 W 63rd Terr Shawnee KS  66218 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 913-915-1971   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 9:31 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Subscript characters? Bernie: But my client needs to be typing this into a field.  They need to type "h2o" and have the 2 in subscript so that when reports print out, the entire sentence is normal, and the 2 is subscript.  I don't know a way to do that other than by using some kind of Alt key sequence but there doesn't seem to be one for subscripts.  And this is RBWin 6.5, so 7.x is not an option. Karen H2O How's that? the H and the O is arial 18.   the 2 is small fonts Experiment that way.  I did 18 for emphasis, might also look good at 10 or 12 pitch. Bernie Lis
