Displaying special characters

[Jan Axelson]

I would like to display a "degree" symbol on a touch panel. I've read
this discussion:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.microframework/browse_thread/thread/106df922263f4471/895db0ce3a7bc2f3?lnk=gst&q=special+characters#895db0ce3a7bc2f3

and tried using "\0x00B0", but nothing displays, not even a space or
default character.

I've tried with both Verdana14 and Kootenay. The fntdef file I used
for Kootenay was:

AddFontToProcess "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft .NET Micro Framework\
\v3.0\\Tools\\Fonts\\TrueType\\kooten.ttf"
SelectFont “WE:400,FN:Kootenay”
ImportRange 0 255

Suggestions welcome!

Hi Jan,

check my demo project
http://bansky.net/blog/2007/12/home-thermometer-based-on-dot-net-micro-framework/

I'm using the degree sign there, it's just the part of the character set
in the given font.

I noticed you used "nina" so I tried NinaB and got the degree symbol
to display - thanks!
