    I have heard there is a method for adding non-alphabetic characters and
    symbols to the WYSIWYG text editor in Microstation J but I don't know what
    it is. Any help as to the procedure would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Gregg

    That depends what you mean.The WYSIWYG Text editor shows exactly what each
    character in the selected font looks like.

    Not all fonts contain all characters. What I would suggest is that you
    select a font that has the characters you want. MicroStation provides the
    ability to search more than 1 font library. It also has a font utility that
    allows you to import fonts and to create your own characters in existing
    fonts. The problem with this is if you giver your drawings to someone else
    they will not see your modified fonts / characters. That may be OK for you
    but we cannot impose that on our clients. The other reason not to do it that
    V8 uses MicroStation font libraries, AutoCad fonts and Windows system fonts
    and has a vastly improved text editor to deal with special characters and
    font characteristics.
