Re: international character sets supported in NCL

Frank,

We’ve had a ticket open on this request for some time now, NCL-1168.

Adding these kind of fonts to our database takes a bit of time, and given the number of other tickets we have with higher priority, we haven’t been able to get to this one.

 I've added your email to the request, which will make it “stronger”. If we hear from other users that this is important, then that will help. :-)

Does the work-around of using the H and V function codes not work for you? I know this is a tedious step, but hopefully if you can set a variable equal to the special character you need, then you can use this varaible in your text strings. I have to do the same thing whenever I want a double quote in any string:

dq = str_get_dq()
. . .

res@tiMainString = dq + “This includes a double quote in the main title” + dq
