Up to Peachtree Version 2003 (a famous accounting
Program) we were able to use Unicode for entering
International Characters, such as Arabic, in the
description field of Invoices, Receipts, Purchase and
Payments.
We enter Arabic text in the description field and were
able to use Peachtree successfully for our company's
accounting.
With Peachtree Accounting version 2004 Unicode characters
are displayed as empty square boxes when entered in
description fields. it appears that the font used in
input templates for Peachtree has changed and does not
allow for foreign characters to display correctly.
Windows XP has a language bar that can be used to switch
the language (using Unicode) and that makes us able to
enter characters in whatever language is installed
besides English. My Regional setting in the Control Panel
is set correctly and Arabic works in most other Programs
including Peachtree Complete 2003. The print driver is
set correctly and prints Arabic correctly even with
Peachtree Premium 2004 as it did with version 2003
As mentioned above, in previous versions of Peachtree up
to version 2003 we were able to enter foreign Characters
in the description field of Invoices, Receipts, Purchase
and Payments.
With version 2004, it appears that the font used in input
templates has changed and does not allow for foreign
characters to display correctly.
In PPA 2004 Foreign characters are displayed as empty
square boxes when we activate the extended characters by
pressing Alt+Shift (or changing the language from the
language bar).
This problem does not happen with PCA 2003 on the same
computer and with all other programs. It appears that the
font used in these input templates is not the same font
used in previous versions of Peachtree.
How can this problem be solved ?
