Hello,

I am trying to output a diameter symbol '�'

I defined it as

#define DIAMETER_SYMBOL  '�'
and then I strcpy or strcat it to my output text. It works well.

But on some computers diameter symbol is not recognized by the default font. 
It appears as
something else. My guess is that default font on that computer does not
support this character.
Is there any function to map this diameter symbol to any font?

What must be set on programmatically so that I do not depend on the default 
font.
Or any other solution.



Thank you

Rony
