they'd need to reprogram in a language that did support it, such as
VB.Net.

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

I just checked. If you click the Change button a window pops up to show
other special characters. I don't know if it's limited to just what is on
the screen or if you can search for others. It looks like the Windows

This is a known issue. It has been entered into our bug tracking system

exactly when that will be. I have added your information to the bug report

Legacy does not support utf-8 as the program is based on VB6 technology and

I assume you already tried changing the 8 characters that can show in the
ribbon from the selection of special characters. If the characters you need
are not in the table, then Millennia support should get involved. It may

In order to insert Czech characters, you need to follow the instructions on

Only problem is you need to be able to read Czech to find the instructions!

Try using a Czech keyboard.
I switch to a Danish keyboard for about six characters, and back to English.
Just a quick mouse click to switch between keyboards after set up.
Note, doing this on Windows 7, not sure when this feature was first available.

Can of worms. See the archives. I don't know about Legacy 8, which is still too

Doing a little digging around, I found that some of the Hawaiian
