Blank

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!
