Hi,

Any chance RevPrintText will be updated to support Unicode? Printing 
unicode text is proving challenging. Type Unicoded text into a fld and 
then use the various print options available to us.

<revprinttext >
put the htmltext of fld 1 into thetext
revshowprintdialog false,true
revprinttext thetext
=== This results in a blank page(s) being previewed as well as 'printed'

put the text of fld 1 into thetext
revshowprintdialog false,true
revprinttext thetext
=== This results in the unicode text being printed in ascii format ie. 
incorrectlly

<Print card...>
This can be used. One just needs to clone a stack with a field the size 
of the printable area of the chosen paper, add a little to the topright 
and chop off a little of the bottomleft to get rid of the fld outline 
and it passes as a printed page of text. It is not an ideal solution 
however.

<revprintfield>
This works for ascii text but not for unicode. The results is a blank 
page(s) similar to using revprinttext using htmltext.


thanks
Ron
