Fonts

[mate41]

Hello,
i use somewhere in the code the "Windings" font.
This to get the arrows up,down and equal.
This equals é, è and ê with this font.
But the arrows are not plotted, insteed the é,è or ê.
For exemple

private Font arrowFont = new Font("Windings", 14); // é and ê and è
or
Font arrowFont = new Font("Windings", arrowSize, FontStyle.Bold); // é and ê and è (in the body where needed)
DrawText( "Down",false, "é",  NbBarsOldHighs + 1, OldHigh, 0, resColor, arrowFont,StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);

Thanks,
but it don't change anything.
I use version nt 7.0.1000.11.

Strange, i developped a similar code times ago with nt ver. 7.0.1000.9 or 10 without any problem.

Hello mate41,
Please try the below code and see if you can get the arrows.

in Variable

Font textFont;

in OnStartUp

textFont = new Font("Wingdings 3",12);

in OnBarUpdate

DrawText("This is an up arrow",false,"‡",0,High[0]+TickSize,0,Color.Blue, textFont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);

DrawText("This is a down arrow",false,"ˆ",0,Low[0]-TickSize,0,Color.Red, textFont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);

Hello Joydeep,
no way it do not work.
Look at this shot below, this is an indicatot i developped last year.
Here you can see it worked/works with an older nt version.

if( showMacdArrows )
{
      Font arrowFont = new Font("Wingdings", arrowSize, FontStyle.Bold);
if (CrossAbove(MACD(fast,slow,smooth),0,1))
{
      DrawText("CrossingUp"+CurrentBar, false, "é", 0, Macd[0]-arrowOffset*TickSize,0, bullColor, arrowFont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);

//etc
}
}

Hello mate41,
To assist you further can you please send a toy NinjaScript code* replicating the behavior to support[AT]ninjatrader[DOT]com

Please append Attn:Joydeep in the subject line of the email and give a reference of this thread in the body of the email.

I look forward to assisting you further.

*The "toy" just means something that is a stripped down version that isn't necessarily the whole logic. It makes things easier to rout out.

Stupid mistake.....
I can go further now.
