Do you have to write a formula or something to bring in the Unicode in
the few instances where it is used?  We've only taken a small step into
using Unicode in titles that mention Vietnamese cities.  The vast
majority of our titles do not use Unicode, but a very few do.  How do
you write a report that will pull up from the standard Title field, but
draw on the Unicode Title field when necessary?

Am I making any sense?

 

Thanks,

David

I have printed Unicode fields with no problems.  Pull them from the
objcontext table (all starting with N), but change the font to Arial
Unicode MS.  This did the trick for us.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting unicode data (East Asian characters)
to appear correctly in Crystal XI. 

 

Has anyone gotten this working correctly with the Windows input locale
settings?

 

Any advice, suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
