Lines: 25 I'm trying to use a resource file to hold text strings that my X application will display as button labels. Conventional stuff works just fine: *application*myButton*label: Button1 But now I'm trying to use a new font (a different alphabet) which has important characters stored in slots beyond 0x7f. The problem I'm running up against is that I don't know how to specify those characters. None of the following attempts do what I want (display character 0xfc): *application*myButton*label: \fc *application*myButton*label: \0xfc *application*myButton*label: \xfc *application*myButton*label: \0374 *application*myButton*label: \374 *application*myButton*label: I'd appreciate any help you could give me with this. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Simkin || Phone: +1 (508) 685-7200 x134 (fax 685-4940) Samsung Software America, Inc. || Internet: simkin@samsung.com 1 Corporate Drive || UUCP: {uunet,ulowell}!ginosko!simkin Andover, Mass. 01810 USA || decvax!bu-tyng!ulowell!ginosko!simkin
