LetterMat Foreign Language Characters Definition and Chart

The LetterMat™ fonts are specialized fonts designed specifically for Wizard FrameShop software. Several of the fonts now include foreign language characters.

Lettermat

  • There are Wizard users in many countries, so the new FrameShop fonts include over 50 additional characters - most of the necessary characters for writing correct captions in German, Scandinavian, and the common Romance languages.

  • Foreign language characters are typed into a LetterMat caption just as you would type these characters into other text programs.

  • Ordinary keyboards do not have all these characters, so each letter has a 4 digit code.

  • The code for Ä, a character in Finnish and German, is 0196.

  • To enter the Ä into the caption, hold the Alt key on the keyboard.

  • Type 0196 - the 4 digit code for the Ä. Be sure to keep holding the Alt key.

  • Release the Alt key after the 4 digits have been entered.

  • The Ä appears in the caption.

  • Continue typing to finish the caption. Enter any other characters using the same steps.

  • Alongside the mat designs showing German, Scandinavian, and Romance language captions, there is a table of characters with their 4 digit codes for that illustrated language group.
