>Hi Mario,
>Terminal and Foxfont have it with Alt+242 and 243. They are font dependent. If you have a printer installed then you wouldn't get them in Font list (some printers let it). Instead use a widely found truetype font "Symbol" (as far as I know every Win installation has it). In symbol font those chars are mapped to 0163 and 0179. Directly in report designer use Alt+0179 and Alt+0163.

Thank you very much, 179 and 163 worked perfect with Symbol.
