    custom linetype

    I'm using 2009LT. I'm trying to create a linetype that has the electrical phase symbol, \U+0278 is the text string that places the symbol into text. Below is the command I put into my aclt.lin file. When I load the linetype, the preview of it shows the phase symbol, however once I put a line on that linetype, it shows up as a question mark. Does anyone have any ideas? (My knowledge of custom linetypes is all self taught)

    *APHASE,APHASE ----A\u+0278----A\u+0278----A\u+0278----A\u+0278----
    A,.5,-.1,["A\u+0278",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.03,Y=-.05],-.2

    Thanks for any responses,

    What font is associated with the STANDARD text style in your file that does
    not work? Perhaps setting it to a font that has that symbol is all you need
    to do (it's not available in all fonts).
