I searched the support web pages to find out if Base allows the use
of two fonts. I need one Base field of the table to be a Coptic
language font and the other fields in English.
Just to be sure we are talking Apples and Oranges -
To a database table, meaning the storage area, there is no font, there
is a character set and a collation order.
Oh.
A default Base database uses UTF-8 for the character set and the
system locale setting for collation order in use when the database was
created. Both settings are database wide in scope. Both settings can
be changed from the default - ONLY - if the database is new and empty
of data.
The Coptic font I use can be downloaded from this url:
http://www.copticchurch.net/downloads/Coptic_Fonts_Standard/Unix_and_Mac/
I have no idea if it is UTF-8 compatible or not. It works fine in an
MS Word document but I have to switch back and forth between fonts.
Thanks.
Alright - well, I am still not sure we are talking the same language
here...So to speak...
Take a look at this picture.

I installed one of the fonts from the location you listed above.
The top grid is a Table Data View - meaning I just double clicked on the
table Table2.
The second window in the picture is a form I created with 2 grid
controls. One uses the systems font the other the font I installed
"CS_Avva_Shenouda.ttf".
But you mention MS Word, so perhaps you question is not a database at
all - maybe you are asking about a "Table" in a writer file?

The data stored in the database is simply the numeric representation of
some characters - the display uses a font.
