To clarify (maybe) the Rick hint: the core is all in the "|CharSet:238"
Thank you very much. I don't understand why but it works. I never use *.nwctext.
You don't need to use nwctxt - that's just a way of putting the info here.
Go to Page set up, Fonts.
Modify the font and then select the Script as Central European.
This will have the characters you need and will be the same as the nwctxt that Rick posted here.
It has to do with code pages, a great mystery ...
FWIW, here is the code page for 'Central European': http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/cc305143 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/cc305143)
Microsoft calls it 'Windows 1250'. Rich Text Format (rtf) designates it as '\fcharset238'. Go figure.
I did that. I put central european, arial. But if I paste ę in the word processor, I don't see it in the score. How to know that "ê ³ æ œ Ÿ ¿ ¹" will give polish letters ?
I don't know a polish letter from a dingbat, but if you set one of the user fonts the same as the lyric font as I did in the example above, you can use the 'Char Map...' button in the Text Command (http://ntworthy.com/nwc2/help/MNU_ADDTEXT.htm) to insert what you need. Then just copy/paste it to the Lyrics.
I think I understand. Thanks.
