Using additional characters in tables

[Bubsi]

I have problem with using in my tables additional characters like "?". The table views only "?".

Is this a problem of the langdriver in the BDE ?


Thanks for your help

What language driver does that character come from?

Hello Tony,

thanks for yor answer. But I don't know where I can see the language driver for the character.

It's a normal PC with windows xp, language german.
When I choose the charactertable in the font Arial I can choose this special character. Then I copy it into my paradoxtable.

Hope I explained it well.

Well, sorry. I don't have any help for you.

I don't use anything but standard English (American) stuff, and don't know about characters in the range above the usual American alphabet.

I wouldn't normally, but since no one is answering on this I'll ask if you've tried

http://www.thedbcommunity.com,

either on the Internet or on newsgroup...??

There may be someone there with experience using a different character set or at least characters above/below standard alphabet.

Sorry, wish I had a more direct answer for your question.

Hello Tony,

I found the reason in a german forum:

Paradox is not able to use unicode and the character "?" is only in the greek codeblock available. The only soluition will be to change to the creek language driver.

 

[TonyMcGuire]

OK. Yes, knew about unicode, and thought to ask, but couldn't remember what it was called (unicode) so that I could ask you whether that might be a unicode character.

And, unfortunately, there is literally no chance Paradox will ever be updated to use unicode.

ascii inernational works for a few but not nearly enough characters. Will Paradox ever be updated again?

 

[TonyMcGuire]

Updated?

NO, not likely ever again.

It doesn't do Unicode, but it DOES do this flavor of German so it isn't dead for this user.

Flavor of German?
