----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-1855555417_-_- Content-type: text/plain Unicode text for command button labels does not seem to be supported. Briefly looking through the code for command buttons there seem to be very many checks and constraints on the text. Why? What I want is to be able to create a button that looks like this [?] and put the button in a tool dialog so that when the button is pressed the symbol ? is entered at the current cursor position. All of this I can do except for having the button appear as [?]. I would think that any Unicode character which can be pasted into the label field of a button via the inspector should be correctly displayed when its font has been set correctly, in this case I am using the font STIXGeneral which supports the nabla character. But if I paste the character into the label field of the inspector then a vertical black bar appears instead, and if I then select the bar and specify its font and save the button the text for the button becomes a question mark, '?'. My request to Oberon Microsystems is to support all possible Unicode characters (if you have the correct font installed on your machine) so they appear correctly on command buttons. I am using BB1.5. Does it work on BB1.6rc? -Doug Danforth ---- To unsubscribe, send a message with body "SIGNOFF BLACKBOX" to LISTSERV{([at]})nowhere.xy ----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-1855555417_-_- Content-type:
