My experience shows it will certainly not be a > piece of cake here. I guess that, but testing exactly this is to someone who _has_ a Windows. I don't. However, just in case, I've also a translation table to pure 7bit ASCII using composed chars like (+) and so on. They just take several chars for each NAG which does not look as nice as the UTF ones, and it might have the drawback that the string length for NAG entry (I think 20 chars) is a bit short if you have to add e.g. !!

I thought about this but agree with Michal that it might get a bit uggly. Point is that you do not know the font size, I guess you'd have to scale bitmaps or they're either to small or to big. > That is parse the text output and replace on the fly the > $xx occurences by bitmaps ? You'd run also even more into the above mentioned string length problem as you'd have to write out something like <button NAG08> or whatever. And, unfortunately, Scid uses two ways to show NAG coding. In browse windows it seems to use them literally while in PGN window, with colouring enabled at least, it interprets them in Scid-HTML. -- Kind regards, / War is Peace. | Freedom is Slavery.
