Through a source on another Forum, I have learned the following from
Ken McGinnis:
"The RichText box control we use for notes supports Unicode. The
regular text box, label control, frame control and a few others do
not support Unicode at this time."
My source says "This explains why the data is what it is in Legacy. I
know that upgrading Legacy to Unicode is high on the wish list for
the developers, but it is not going to happen in L7 as it involves a
massive re-write of the product."
Guess I'm stuck for now. In the interests of genealogical accuracy,
I sure hope Legacy fixes this problem someday soon.

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at their character table, and it
does not include the one I need. However, the problem seems to be
with Legacy. I have e-mailed them and will let you know what they say.

Have you tried AllChar, a free program? It works for my German
characters. Just a suggestion.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Eastern European Font in Legacy 6?
Gene Y.:
Thanks for your comments. The problem I have is in trying to
insert the name of Czech surnames and towns that use particular
diacritical characters. I installed a Czech font and customized
the Legacy settings to use that font, but Legacy still gives me the
spurious characters in liew of the correct ones.

correct diacritical marks? Thanks!

I use Open Office and it has a function to insert special
characters. I find the one I want then cut and paste it in the
notes. It seems to work so far. If it still displays spurious
characters you are probably out of luck until they are able to
completely re-program Legacy from the ground up.
