Re: Printing of Accents in SQR

Nikki,

You have to edit the file post_iso.str in the bin or binw directory of sqr.
and uncomment the line that correspond to french.
then 2 options :
a)in your sqr code you make reference to this new file in your
declare-printer section
        startup_file post_french.str
b)rename your new file in postscri.str


regards

Franck,

Subject: Printing of Accents in SQR


Hello SQRUG Subscribers

I am having a problem printing accented characters in SQR 4.3.  I am
printing using the following setup:

declare printer ! Declare printer characteristics.
      type          = POSTSCRIPT
      orientation   = portrait
      top-margin    = 0.10
      left-margin   = 0.2
      font          = 5
      point-size    = 7
      line-size     = 11

An example of my problem is printing of the name Française Liberté.

The name displays correctly with the accented characters in the sqr.log
file and the .lis file, however, when printed the name displays like:

Fran aise LibertØ

Any insights into why this would be happening would be a great help!

Thanks.

Nikki
