Creating Double-Byte Text The Fingerprint instruction CHR$ specifies ASCII values that cannot be typed on the keyboard of the host. For example, CHR$(65) specifies the ASCII decimal value 065, which will yield an uppercase A when using a Latin character set. Double-byte fonts use the same principle, but specify two ASCII values instead of one. The first character above ASCII 127 decimal is interpreted as the first byte in a double-byte glyph. This example shows how to print three simplified Chinese glyphs. Be careful to specify the double-byte font before the character set. FONTD "Song", 18 NASCD "GB2312.NCD" A$=CHR$(176)+CHR$(163)+CHR$(176)+CHR$(164)+CHR$(176 )+CHR$(65) PRTXT A$ PRINTFEED For other examples, LOAD and LIST the demonstration program 972570xx.prg. For some Fingerprint versions, you might have trouble when switching from double-byte to single-byte fonts. If the single-byte font is not using a single-byte character set, add the instruction NASCD"".
