>Sorry - sounds more interesting than it is. Updating from DOS FOx 2.6, I reset code pages to sort out the accents in the DBF files. This works in general - but characters including the Male and Female symbols (in memo fields) dont come across correctly. Do I need another command here? Thank you.
You need to use a font that supports the same character mapping as the original DOS character set, such as FoxPrint, FoxFont, MS Sans Serif or Terminal, rather than one of the TrueType fonts - they may be pretty, but the mapping of characters between the DOS ASCII and the majority of TT fonts is not the same.
