   I use Debenu Quick PDF Library 11.11 with Visual Foxpro 9. 
I do not have the option to send directly to PDF Unicode characters.
Iwant to see DrawHtmlText. Ineed to show ♀ and
♂.

I used

    QP.NewDocument()

    QP.SetPageSize("A4")

    QP.SetOrigin(1)

    FontID1
= QP.AddTrueTypeFont("Times New Roman", 1)

   QP.SetHTMLNormalFont("Default",
FontID1)

   QP.DrawHTMLText(20,
20, 150, "#2640 #2642")

Displays  "#2640
#2642” and
not ♀
♂

Is
there any possibility to succeed?

Thanks

	Hi Cerceris; i don't have experiences with DrawHTMLText but i know that your string doesn't contain the correct value for the male- and female-symbol in html-code. The correct html-code in this case is: for female: ♀ and for male: ♂ The bad thing is that DrawHTMLText supports only a subset of mainly style tags and not symbols. In your case (IDE without unicode support and there#s only need to get two signs) i would create two small images using them instead of real characters. Cheers and welcome here, Ingo
	Cheers, Ingo

	I tried, but again unsuccessfully. I will use your advice with two small images. Thank you for the quick reply, Cerceris
