I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get foreign characters to print out with St-Writer 3.0. At the moment, I'm using a Mega 2 hooked up to a Star NB-24-10 printer (an Epson LQ 24pin clone). There is the XXYZZ.TXT (or something like this) file and CONFIG.TOS file sitting around in the St-writer folder (the first is a printer driver, the other I'm not sure about). Is there any way to configure ST-writer to properly print foreign characters, or is the a dip switch or two I have to flip? I've been trying to print Hungarian characters for months now (including a' e' i' o' u' o" u"), but I've only been getting funny characters or nothing. Please contact me email if you run across this problem.

Well, I don't know how to do this using your printer's character set, but I have a product (shameless plug warning) called G-Print which prints out ST Writer files (as well as 1st Word Plus and Word Writer) files using GDOS fonts which makes the whole character set accessible. It has a number of other features (including multiple fonts) upon which I will gladly elaborate if asked. For more information, send me mail. It sells for US$25. --Steve > - Stephen Bohus >-- >Stephen Bohus - (416) 978-7197 Centre for Landscape Research >Internet: clr@dgp.toronto.edu >UUCP: ..!uunet!dgp.toronto.edu!clr University of Toronto >Bitnet: clr@dgp.utoronto Toronto, Ontario, CANADA >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- Steve Whitney "It's never _really_ the last minute" (())_-_(()) UCLA Comp.
