special text character, circle R

Post by protojim15 »

Is there a way to get special characters in the text, ie. I need a Registered trademark, circle R, to print on the front panel that I am creating. Could anyone point where that info is or destructions on how to do it?

Thanks,

I tried the Alt code, which does not work, Alt 0174. But, I am not sure if I am doing it right. My guess is it doesn't understand that I am doing it. Maybe there is a library I can pull from?

Thanks,

You can copy and paste from something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U ... tin_script

or the special character palette in windows. In fact I should be able to include the character here.

Then you can paste it into the text field on the right properties panel to get it into your design.

Make sure you use a recent version from our beta page at http://www.protocasedesigner.com/wiki/i ... s_Released

in order for special characters to function properly.

I am sorry we don't support the alt+0174 method of entry, it would be nice to have.

No problem, there are a lot of little details like that we just haven't gotten to unfortunately but we try to have an alternative available!
