PTR - Using The Backspace Command To Combine |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: There are times when the current font does not include a specific character. In such cases, the customer has several options for obtaining the character. One option, if the desired character is composed of two separate characters, is to use the backspace command to overstrike the character. For example, the a umlaut character (the letter a with two dots above it) is comprised of the letter a and the umlaut character. This character can be created by printing the letter a, sending a backspace command and then printing the umlaut character. The Printer Command String would look something like "a"[8][190]. The letter "a" prints followed by a backspace command [8] to move the print head back one character and a command to print the umlaut [190]. This process can be used to create various characters. |
