hi I am designing an editor program. I am using ChrW() and AscW() functions to print the character on screen. I want to implement combining diacritical marks(or accent marks) i-e if i print a character and then i want to put diacritic on it by using specific key then i shud be able to place diacritic above or below that character so that they appear as one character. Is there any way to accomplish this in vb?
That would be tricky at best. Each character takes up a full space even if sub or super scripted.
Since unicode is apparently important in your editor, you are better off using unicode fonts. There are many like the Arial Unicode, that are standard on all computers (Sample: ÃÈüñ) and the characters are available through the extended character set using AscW.
I hav developed my own fonts using ScanFont and FontLab so i need help accordingly
