You speak with such authority and knowledge that I mistook you for a
current Millennia empolyee.  I will consider sending an e-mail as you
suggest.

Re: [LegacyUG] Special Characters

[Sherry H]

They're not "my" programmers When I was working for Legacy in
Support, I was always told that VB6 didn't support Unicode and that
they'd need to reprogram in a language that did support it, such as
VB.Net.

You might send in an email about this to supp...@legacyfamilytree.com.

Re: [LegacyUG] Special Characters

Sherry,

CyberCyberActiveX and Hexagora are two companies that have software that
would fix this problem without a rewrite of Legacy.  Hexagora states:

"The Unicode Library for VB6 is a robust and lightweight API driven ActiveX
component that will permit you to turn your VB6 programs into fully Unicode
(UTF16) applications.  Using this complete set of usercontrols and classes
you'll be able to modernize the look of your programs permitting them
to use Unicode data and files."

Have
​ ​
your programmers looked into using this?


Gene,

I use other Western European letters
​ ​
with a superscript to a note.  For example:

Maĉisak is instead written Mac²isak with the following note:

†  "c²" represents a c with the circumflex diacritic.

Thanks, Sherry. I was afraid that would be the case.

Re: [LegacyUG] Special Characters

[Sherry H]

Gene,

Legacy doesn't support non-Western European fonts. I don't know when
the programmers will be able to reprogram Legacy in a programming
language that supports those fonts. I know it's been a popular request
probably since the program was first released.

The only workaround is to use the closest English equivalent.

[LegacyUG] Special Characters

[Gene Wheeler]

 I have a lot of Czech names and places that use special characters that
are not available in Legacy v.8 choices for special characters. I can find
them in the Windows 7 Character Map, but when I copy and paste them into a
name or location field in v.8, a question mark appears, not the special
character. Is there a way I can work around this? Thanks!
