Need to display mixed string characters ASCII and Non-ASCII

[ccaplan]

I need to display a mixture of fonts in a string indicator programatically.

In addition to the normal ascii string, I also need to mix in some non ascii characters for things like down arrows, up arrows, filled and empty boxes, etc

Just to complicate matters, I also need to be able to highlight the individual characters inside the string indicator. I know how to do the highlighting of the characters and symbols within the string itself but not how to put them there.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi ccaplan,

Interesting question.  To make a mixture of fonts I would try manipulating the properties.  I posted a quick picture of how to make letters 1 through 3 bold. As for making non-ASCII character into a string box, I don't think that it is possible.  Has anyone else tried this.  An alternative would to be put the arrows on the front panel and change there properties from visible to non-visible.
