MText and bullets...

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
Is it possible to create a bullet in ACAD 2002 MText? I've
tried inserting the Arial Black symbol but when i close the
dialog box it disappears and doesn't print.

Thanks,
ervin

Not what you asked for was it Ervin?

In the MTEXT editor, choose Symbol | Other which will open the windows Charmap.exe program.
Inside this application, select a symbol, press the Select button, then the Copy button.
Exit this application, and now back in the MTEXT editor, paste in the symbol.

Depending on the font being used \U+0095 might give you a bullet.

This is a tough one... The standard Unicode location for the
bullet is u2022. However, there is a bug (or feature) that
I've discovered in the last several months. The Mtext editor
will strip out several special characters (nbspace, em-dash,
bullet, etc.) and substitute either standard characters or
a spaced. I've brought this to the developers attention.
I spent a month trying to figure our why certain characters
were simply disappearing. If anyone is really interesting
in seeing that happening I got a doc which shows it happening.
Weird...

The internal editor may be a nice interface to keep from having to see the
control codes but an external editor such as NOTEPAD is much much easier in
the long run to learn how to use as it doesn't change or add code to what
you had previously put in the MTEXT body.

I agree... The new attempt at the editor displaying the text at the same
size at the resulting text on screen never seems to quite work, so
an ASCII editor is just as good. Some such as TextPad will let you change
the font as well.
