Code for a <ALT + 2> (Num Lock)

[Gordon Rahman]

I'm using the freeware 32Cards.DLL to create a cards game.
But for testing purposes I would like to use this "Segoe UI Symbol" fonts.

How to display those fonts by LB?

I need to use <ALT> + 0-9 from the Num Lock keypad to show those characters in NotePad or WordPad.

I suspect its a bit like the Wingding fonts problem. Liberty cannot use the extended character set. You can try printing them all out but you will see that Liberty substitutes characters from its own character table.

for n= 32 to 255
print chr$(n)
next

The graphic symbols are never printed.

However the card .dll is very easy to use or just default to basic text.

For my current uses I'll choose for the text bases.
I really thought I had "fixed" this extended character set using thing, but now I'll
stop further looking into my fast listing reservoir.
