HARACTERS
PowerScript supports accented and special characters (such as â, é, and ©) if the font you
are using includes them . Some fonts do not include such characters.
To enter an accented or special character, you need to know its decimal character code.
The following table lists the standard codes used for most fonts. Some fonts, however,
might use a different set of decimal character codes. Normally, the only way to determine
this is to try entering the desired characters.
To enter an accented or special character:
1
Create a new text object, click on an existing one to insert the text cursor, or drag across
the text you want to change.
2 Press the Alt key and hold it down.
3 Enter the decimal character code for the character you want to create.
4
Release the Alt key.
For example, to enter the ¥ character, press and hold Alt , type 165 (the decimal character
code for the symbol, as shown in the following table), then release the Alt key.
