fixed width fonts and special characters
Hi,
I've got a little problem with my reports.
I'm using RB 9.03.
I've got a dblabel in font Courier New, used to display first names.
However, when the name contains a special character like a ? or an ?, Report
Builder uses up 3 spaces for this character.
Instead of J?rgen, I get J? rgen.
I've noticed that this is the case with all fixed width fonts, but I'm not
sure. I've tried with Courier New and Lucinda.
When I use a non fixed width font like Arial or Times New Roman, I don't
have this problem.
Is there anything I can do so I don't have to change the font in all my
reports?
Thx,
Tom
