180.0. "Character does not appear" by BOOKIE::DUNCAN () Tue Aug 08 1989 15:13

    
    We can't get a symbol for the DECwrite centering mark to appear
    in the online books.  Unfortunately, my terminal also cannot
    create composite characters to show it.  It looks like a miniature
    square with four little arms sticking out from each corner.  
    
    We created this character for hard copy using compose sequences
    (not on my terminal!) and it printed in the hardcopy version.
    The compose sequence is OX.

    Try <mcs>(general_currency) perhaps.

    The problem is that DOCUMENT uses the MCS character set and DECwindows
    uses the ISOLatin1 character set. They are almost but not quite the
    same. I sent Donna a tag that will allow her to extract the character
    she wants from the ISO set. <mcs>(general_currency) might be
    acceptable, too.

180.3We have the center symbolORION::DUNCANTue Aug 15 1989 17:558
    
    Mary's fix worked.  I use  the isolatin1 tag for character 164
    and include the .gdx file into the file with the character.  (Mary,
    I know you said to use symbol=xxx.gdx file, but I switched it to
    be consistent with how we use another .gdx file.)
    
    Success!
