    I am using AutoSketch 9 and I am trying to use some Greek characters. Has anybody had any luck with this? I have tried to used the character map, and it works within the character map routines. However, when I try to copy it back to the drawing, I get another character instead of the Greek character.

    Thanks in advance.

    When you are copying the charicter accross, you are only copying the ASCII "shortcut" to the charicter: a reference to the char's position within the font file.
    Change the font to the same as it says on your char map and you will see the char.

    I tried this with the Arial font, and I was getting the same ASCII characters. However, when I switch over to the UniversalMath1 BT font, it worked. So I am OK. I wonder, the greek characters are in the lower 254 characters in the UniversalMath1 BT font, where as the greek characters are above the lower 254 characters in the Arial font. I am wondering if that is the reason this work, or maybe I am doing something else wrong. Just wanted to thanks for your help, it did the trick...
