[DXBase] Slashed Zero Not

Sat, 8 Feb 2003 01:03:03 -0600

I understand that if I want text in a card or label to include the infamous
slashed zero, aka �, I need to select a font that uses that character for
zero. I like to do this for callsigns only, leaving the zeros in dates and
times unslashed.
The problem I'm having is that I can right-click a text object in the label
designer and get two different sets of available fonts when choosing between
properties and fonts in the pop-up menu. For example, when I choose
properties, I am not given Slashed Zero Arial and an available font, but
then when I choose fonts, it is. The only problem is even though I can
format my text using that font via the font menu, I can't print it. The text
in the text block disappears. What gives?
Getting back to my original comment. Is there any way or built-in function
that I can apply to a variable that would to an ASCII replace ans substitute
0xD8 for 0x30 (that's alt-0216 for zero, or � for 0)? A feature like this
would be a heck of a lot better than what appears to be a bunch of corrupted
fonts.
