Foreign Language Text within PlanetPress Talk Objects
You can use PlanetPress Talk objects to display either static text or variable content. You would typically
add a paragraph for static text or a simple field for variable information, such as a client’s name or address.
A. A PlanetPress Talk object created without defining a UTF8 paragraph ; B. Another PlanetPress Talk object, created this time
with UTF8 paragraph properties (the paragraph is justified on both sides)
If you need a string, that may contain variable content, you can use the ShowUTF8Left, ShowUTF8Center
and ShowUTF8Right commands. Note that if you choose to display a box around objects that include any of
these commands, the box may not be perfectly drawn. Pages that include many objects with these commands
will not display as fast as other pages.
If you need a paragraph, that may only contain static text, you must use the BeginUTF8Paragraph and
EndUTF8Paragraph procedures along with the ShowUTF8 command.
