Joe, Your suggestion worked. I was able to see, select, and print the Slashed Zero Arial font after setting the area to Central European.

So, if you were to get out of that window (without selecting the Slashed Zero Arial font) and again right-click on the CALL Textbox - but this time choose "Properties" .. the window that comes up is a bit different in its setup.. If you will look to the right side again of this window, you will see the word "Western" listed there .. Pulldown that menu and select Central European.. Now, when you go to the left-side of that window -- to the actual FONTS listing -- you will now see the Slashed Zero Arial font listed.. So, you can obtain the Slashed Zero Arial font from either the FONT or the PROPERTIES selection after you right-click on a TextBox.. BUT, as to why you are not able to PRINT the label field that you have the Slashed Zero Arial font in - that's a good question. You should be able to do this without any problems.. On the ASCII question -- NO -- as LA7QI stated, that actual function is used by many, many countries for their "alphabet" .. and not a Slashed Zero. If you want, you can send me your label file that you have made with the slashed zero arial font and let me take a look at it Mark - if you want? 73 de Joe wa6axe Mark Shelton wrote: > > I understand that if I want text in a card or label to include the infamous > slashed zero, aka Ø, I need to select a font that uses that character for > zero.
