UMLAUTS - How to get them to print out on Boca Ticket Stock

Jessica Bonanno

Hello-

We have a new event that has a umlaut over the U

DÜNYA

I cannot get this to work in Ticket Design. I tried changing the font to Font 13 per documentation, but that does not work. I either get a black rectangle or just the letter U.

I tried copying and pasting from a word document; I tried doing Control+Shift+ : then typing a u.

Can anyone help me figure out what to type into Ticketing Setup to get the umlaut to work?

    Hi Jessica,

    I have the answer!  You need to use font 13, but then you also need to put this code in the corner of your ticket at 0, 0.

    It won't show up on the ticket, but it will help the boca printer to understand the umlaut and other special characters!  There is an old forum post where I asked this question too, and someone else had figured out this trick!

    Thanks,

    Liz

    Wow-  that worked!! I would have NEVER known how to do this. Thank you. 

    Question: because I didn't want to mess up my "main" ticket design, I copied and it and adjusted the font to 13 and put this code on the new one - that I only attached to this one performance. Do you usually put this coding on all your ticket designs? 

    Thank you for the quick help!!

    Hi Jessica,

    Glad to be of help!  I have added it to all my ticket designs.  It is a bummer, because font 13 isn't the best looking font, but that way I don't have to worry about special characters appearing.  I also changed constituent names to font 13 so that those special characters show up as well.
