Extended Characters not showing up in DM Studio text.

Question

Hello,
For some reason when I'm entering text into DM Studio (text area, label, etc) and my text contains a special character (® or ©, for instance), it shows up as a small box, indicating it can't represent that character. It used to show up just fine, with the only change I'm aware of being that the profile on my computer was corrupted a week or two ago, and a new one created and minimal profile attributes from the backup were restored. I'm working with a font that in any other application has no problem displaying these extended ASCII characters. Does anybody know why they all of the sudden aren't working?

Hi Gregg,
Can you check if your Codepage.ini is corrupted which comes as a part of installation in this particular folder \FAP\mstrres\fmres\deflib as it has something like below for every character which we use in documaker
<CODEPAGE>
Char = SP010000, space, , 32, 32, 32, 32, 64, 64, 64, 64, 32, 32
Char = SP020000, exclam, , 33, 33, 33, 33, 90, 90, 79, 79, 0, 0
Char = SP040000, quotedbl, , 34, 34, 34, 34,127,127,127,127, 0, 0
Char = SM010000, numbersign, , 35, 35, 35, 35,123,123,123,123, 0, 0
Char = SC030000, dollar, , 36, 36, 36, 36, 91, 91, 91, 91, 0, 0
Char = SM020000, percent, , 37, 37, 37, 37,108,108,108,108, 0, 0
Char = SM030000, ampersand, , 38, 38, 38, 38, 80, 80, 80, 80, 0, 0
Char = SP050000, quotesingle, , 39, 39, 39, 39,125,125,125,125, 0, 0
Hope it helps
Thanks,
Priya
