Extended Characters - Beta Character Equals G |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer presses Alt-225 to get the beta character. On the screen, the character appears to be the beta. If he puts his cursor on the code in Reveal Codes, it shows as a [1,23]. The 1,23 character is defined as a German double-s and has an expression of R8[222]pc8. Why doesn't the Alt-225 correspond with the character 8,23 which is defined as [225]? Solutions: WordPerfect chooses the German double-s instead of the beta, when Alt-225 is used. This was a user-demand-decision made by Development when 5.0 was first created, and has continued into 5.1. More people use the German double-s than the beta character, so WP chose to map the Alt key to this character. There are other characters that WP has chosen to do this on, the y, two dots above the y, has been changed to select 1,139, the ij character. Refer to Memo: WP51 1577. Please put this into the enhancement database. |
