Text Profile

[maurelius]

Hi,
I am trying to put a text profile in SE v18 but the characters are not showing correctly.

I use the character map to choose what I want (in this case some polish characters from Arial Narrow font) and they show correctly when pasted into the text profile dialog but the profile drawn on the part does not show all of the dashes / lines etc through the characters - they just show as normal.

Anyone come across this?

Thanks

Hi,

SE can't handle Unicode characters (characters beyond 255)
To get what you want you have to use a font that has the wanted
chracter set in positions below 255 (0xFF). In your case the
characters are a combination of the regular (ASCII) letter plus
a diacritical mark which is beyond position 255 and thus will
not show up in the final text within the sketch

oh bugger!!

Don't suppose you know a font off hand with polish characters in it do you?

Thanks for the info
