June 8, 200520 yr Commercial Member I'm trying to make an EICAS panel gauge and I'd like to label the N1 gauges with the percent symbol since that is how they are marked on the real acft. Not having any luck though because nothing shows up on the gauge when I simply type % as the string. I'm wondering if there is an "escape sequence" or something, similar to those used in HTML for < and > that will display the percent symbol?Of course I could always make a small bitmap of the symbol, but thought I'd ask here first.Thanks for the help,Jim

June 9, 200520 yr Commercial Member Actually it's Alt+0176, but I already tried that and it made the gauge dissapear from the panel. Thanks though :)Jim
June 9, 200520 yr Hi,Try:& # 176 ; without spaces, otherwise it shows up like Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

Thanks though :)>>JimAlt-167 and Alt-0176 yield identical results... I'm glad that Jan provided the solution, although I notice that the number is indeed 176 in that schema... ;) Fr.
