Right-arrow in single line text

[bgietzen]

I am in need of some help. I am using single line text. I need to insert a "left" arrow/ "right" arrow. when I use \U+2190 it gives me a question mark. If I use the same code in Multi text it works fine, however It must be single line text. Is there a way to do this?? Maybe a %% value????

I have moved your post to its own thread, please start a new thread instead of tacking on to a very old one.

 

What font are you using? does it work with another font? Perhaps test with one that is or is not a TrueType?

Yes, I have tried a few different texts. However I find that in one drawing file I have that it works when I create a Multiline text then explode it. but the other one it just puts a box around it?

What is the significance behind the assertion that it must be single line text?

[Tiger]

If you bring up Properties on both cases after you've exploded the MText, do you find any difference?

ReMark - it is text that gets changed often and is easier to change. we do not need multi lines.

Tiger - Thanks, Im sorry to waste any of your time. That "style2" text style seems to work. I guess I did not check enough different fonts

No worries, glad you got it sorted out.

FYI - Text changes can be addressed via the FIND & REPLACE feature built into AutoCAD and custom lisp programs include even greater functionality.
