Hi folks,
This week I posted a question about Hershey fonts and David gave me
the answer. Now, I realize that I've another problem related with the
same question.
I'm trying to write a string using the character 14x16 of the Simple
Greek font.
The David's answer was: XYOUTS, 0.5, 0.5, /Normal, 'Symbol: !4' +
STRING("156B) + '!x'
Cool ! It works. Now we can try it using object graphics:
aux=OBJ_NEW('IDLgrText', STRINGS='Symbol: !4' + STRING("156B) + '!x', /
ENABLE_FORMATTING)
XOBJVIEW, aux
Ups, It doesn't works...
Suggestions?
Thanks,
nata

Yeah, I didn't understand that either. I'd fix it, but
I have to get back to work. My tennis team finished the
season 18-1, but alas, that defeat kept us from going
to the National tournament! So, back to more mundane
things. :-)
Cheers,
David

according to the documentation. Sigh...)
Ok, I see..
Note: The following font charts are numbered in octal notation. To
read the octal number of a character, add the column index (along the
top) to ten times the row index. For example, the capital letter "A"
is octal 101, and the "$" symbol is octal 44.
Thank you David,
nata
