Thanks alex.

It works using keystrokes.

Where did you get 0146?

On my character map, it shows character code of 0x92 but no keystroke code. I just did a copy and paste (but did not work)

I am on w2000

I use mainly win98 where Character Map always provides the keystroke and forgot that on win2k it gives the Hex value and only rarely the keystroke (ie the decimal equivalent).
Irrespective it is very easy to convert from Hex to decimal values.
Open the Windows Calculator and set it to Scientific View then select Hex radio button and type the characters in the Hex value after the 0x (in your case 92 but it can contain also the letters ABCDEF)



Then just click on the Dec radio button and you will have the decimal equivalent ie 146.



Add a 0 in front and you have your keystroke ie 0146)

I show the Left Block as U=00DD

What does that U mean?

I tried using ALT +0221 but that didnt work, gave me a Y with a tilde on the top.

I believe that is the Unicode value. To see the equivalent Hex value click on Advanced View in Character Map and then from the dropdown select either DOS United States or Windows Western and it should provide you with the equivalent Hex.
If that does not work post an image of Character Map with the specific character

Here is the character I want to draw and the code

drawTextRelative( -offset, HH, "Y", Color.blue, null, Text.ONTOP | Text.CENTER, "Arial", 10, x );

Try Alt+221

Alt 221 gives me a piping symbol ▌. alt 0221 gets a Y with a tilde Ý - and that is what shows up on the chart too.

[dloomis]

hmm, the left block showed up fine in that message and in this one ¨„
▌
Why doesnt it get into the efs corrctly?

I think that has to do with the character sets associated with the font and I have no idea as to a workaround other than using another font.
