Printing 'cent' symbol - chr(155) ???

[msellers]

Is it possible in FP 2.5 to print (with @ say) the 'cent' symbol (asc 155)?? I'm having trouble finding info. on this.

Try this:

@ 1,1 say '50' + chr(155) font 'Foxfont'

The important thing to note here is that you need to use a font that will support that symbol. You can use the 'Character Map' to verify which ones to use.

I tried this: @ 1,1 say '50' + chr(155) font 'Foxfont'
and it didn't work...

I'm trying to print this in an FP2.5 MS-DOS application. According to the 'minimal' help file with FP 2.5... The FONT clause is ignored in FoxPro for MS-DOS.

Any other suggestions?

FP 2.5 is a DOS version only. You must have the font with the Cent sign loaded i hte printer and That font active. ( or know the escape codes the change it ti that printer font). After you have the correct printer font loaded in the printer you just do a
@... Say ... chr(155)
