Appendix 2
Special characters
DYABOLA supports an extended character set, which supports both the
modern Greek alphabet and various diacritic characters. The character
set can be adapted to the respective database. This is necessary,
as the 256 ASCII characters are often insufficient. (see also section
3.3 Edit result/Export/Printer)
|
Greek alphabet
In the screen display and in print-outs, the database supports
the reformed modern Greek alphabet with only one accent ("monotonikó").
To
write in Greek, simply press the F10 key; the keyboard will
automatically switch over to a Greek character keyboard. If
you press F10 again, it switches back to the Latin alphabet.
(The Omega is found on "V", Ypsilon on "Z", Psi on "C", Zeta
on "Y", Theta on "U", Xi on "J", the final Sigma on "w", and
Digamma on "q". All other characters are to be found on their
Latin equivalents. NB: On the English keyboard, the Zeta is
on the "Z" and the Ypsilon on the "Y".)
Greek entries only in the Subject Catalogue and in the Grave
Relief database.

Diacritic characters
DYABOLA supports all commonly used letters
of the European Latin alphabet.
To write a letter with an accent, you must select various
key combinations. Please note that you must always select the
accent first and then enter the relevant letter:
| |
F5 |
F6 |
F7 |
F8 |
| ALT |
cross strokes (ð) |
Hungarian umlaut (û) |
° or point(å oder
Ý) |
ý (without point)
|
| CTRL (STRG) |
Cedila (ç) |
diaresis (ä) |
tilde (~) |
yumurschak (ð) |
| SHIFT |
acute (á) |
grave (à)
|
circumflex
(â) |
hatschek (?) |
If,
for example, you wish to select the Hungarian u as an umlaut,
first press the ALT and F6 keys simultaneously, let go of them
again and then press the "u".

Note for Administrator
The
character sets are located in the subdirectory \dyazchn alongside
the database directories \dyabola and \dyaerg. The file name of
the respective character set is composed of the respective database
number (e.g. 18 for CENSUS) and character set name "dya16". If
the special character set for the respective database is not available,
the file dya16 serves as the default character set. The database
number can be found in Appendix 3. |
