UTF-16 (16-bit Unicode Transformation Format) is a character encoding capable of encoding all 1,112,064 possible characters in Unicode. This covers all Latin-derived alphabets and most Asian pictographs. Unfortunately, ASCII is a very small sub-set of Unicode and the costs of converting Legacy to Unicode would almost be prohibitive. Oh yes, you'd also need more disk storage for every file. -- Regards, Mike Fry (Jhb) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Good positive suggestions Larry I do not need these special characters, but I tried to put myself in the shoes of someone with, let say, Polish ancestors. Right now this person cannot properly register the name of its ancestors with the characters available. I am sure, like you, that the list of available characters could be expanded Georges ---Message original--- De : Larry Lee Date : 02/08/15 12:09:17 A : legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sujet : Re: Réf. : RE: Réf. : Re: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set Hello all, Based upon this thread I have submitted an enhancement suggestion to allow a user to select the special characters from any of the Microsoft supported language character maps. I am not very knowledgeable in this area but from my research it appears there would be a way to 1) select the desired language then the appropriate character from that language's character map, 2) these characters could populate the Special Characters Ribbon to be used in the notes. This seems like it should be doable, but I don't know if that could be programmed to work in Legacy. I hope it can. I also suggested the ribbon be expanded from 8 to 16 characters.

RE: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set
Al, Legacy only supports Western European fonts. This does include quite a few letters with diacritics but some of the Polish characters are not included, like the L with the slash through it.

RE: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set
I am still using Legacy 7.5 because of still existing bugs and new bugs introduced when some old one are fixed in Legacy 8. Too many of the reports I need to produce are affected by the bugs, that I cannot rely on Legacy 8. I do not have the time or energy to keep two versions up-to-date which would require double entering everything, I have had to stay with Legacy 7.5. I have downloaded it, and periodically transfer a copy of my latest database into Legacy 8, but, so far, it cannot do what I meed as well as Legacy 7.5 Alas! Anyway, that explanation was so you will know that these instructions are from Legacy 7.5. "The Character Map is used to select characters that are not found on the keyboard. The Character Map can be reached two different ways. The first is by pressing F6 while in any input field. Any characters selected from the Character Map are returned and enter at the current cursor position. The second way to reach the Character Map is to click the small blue button on the Special Characters ribbon on every input screen. The map is then used to select up to eight characters to fill the ribbon. The characters on the ribbon are then immediately available for adding to input fields. See Special Characters for more information. How to Select Characters Double-clicking on any characters in the list, copies the character up to the Characters to Return field at the top. When selecting characters to place in an input field, you can choose as many as you want. For example, if you wanted to enter the word posição you might first enter posi in the field, press F6 and then double-click on the letters ção. This would put the remainder of the word in the Characters to Return field. Clicking the Return Characters button would return the characters and finish the word in the input field. If you are filling the Special Characters ribbon, double-click on up to eight characters that you will be using the most. For example, á é í ó ú ñ."

RE: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set
I don't know about Danish, but I do know that pasting the correct characters
will not work if Legacy does not recognize them. It does not matter what
keyboard you use. If Legacy does not have them in its list, they will not be
rendered. That is the big problem; there is no work-around for many, many
characters.
The Danish characters you listed are included in Legacy's characters, so they
will be rendered correctly if you paste them, or if you choose them from the
Legacy characters.

Danish Research Resources:
Extra letters in Danish alphabet. READ ME FIRST
NOTE: Danish has three extra letters in the alphabet: æ, ø, and å.
“Aftagtsmand” is not the same as “Aftægtsmand”.
“Hans Jorgen” is not the same as “Hans Jørgen”.
“Dab” is not the same as “Dåb”.
Be sure to use the correct character. Some database searches especially in
Danish language, will fail with wrong letter.
You can:
· Activate the Danish Keyboard (for all Microsoft operating systems).
· Use the 10 key pad, while holding down the Alt key and typing a code
(for all Microsoft operating systems).
· Copy and paste the Danish letters Æ, Ø, and Å from another document
that already has them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set
I use Danish characters from my std set of fonts. Windows allows you to make changes to different language keyboards. The language bar settings are on the right side of the Task Bar. It takes one keystroke to toggle between English and Danish. My grandfather is Hans Jørgen Hansen, from Rudjkøbing, Denmark. Note the "ø" in Jørgen and Rudjkøbing, that is from toggling to Danish. Those spellings and characters are OK in Legacy 8. I made personal notes on how to do this, will see if I can locate them and provide here.

Re: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set
I have been requesting Eastern European special characters / diacritics for years but Legacy has not even added them to their “special character map”, even in version 8. This is extremely annoying, although I like everything else about Legacy. Legacy do not even indicate they doing anything to address this problem- no estimated time frame- nothing. I want to publish my family history. For years of been keeping a list of incorrectly spelled names of people and places so one day I can save my work as a Word document and do all the “find and replace” actions needed. My list is however growing out of hand. It’s ridiculous and I’m fed up. Even then, that might work if wanted to limit my family to selected bits and pieces for publication in a book, but I could not simply use Legacy to publish everything on a website. It has been a number of years since I have compared genealogy software programs. I think I will revisit this issue and if there is a software program that compares favourably with Legacy while including diacritics, I will change to it. It is gradually becoming easier to trace ancestors in counties like Poland and Eastern Europeans are becoming more interested in genealogy. Countries like the US, UK and Australia have a very multicultural heritage which I feel has been disrespected by Legacy. Unless Legacy caters for various ethnicities or nationalities, it is purely a matter of time before more progressive software is developed by others and takes market share away from Legacy. Why does Legacy not even include Eastern European diacritics in their Special Characters Map and allow people like me to do a “search and replace” within Legacy? I could live with that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set
Legacy is programmed in VB6, which doesn't support non-Western European fonts. Until the programmers get a chance to reprogram Legacy in a programming language that supports non-Western European fonts, you won't be able to use Eastern European fonts.
