You can set the font size of the characters that appear on the buttons of the Diacritic Button bar. (For instructions, see “Changing the Font Size of Diacritic Bars” in the “Customizing Diacritics” chapter of the Launcher Configuration Guide, or talk to your system administrator.)

To use the Diacritic Button bar to enter diacritics

1 Log in to Horizon.
2 Choose View, Diacritic Button Bar.

Horizon displays the Diacritic Button bar on or near the workspace, depending on how your system is set up. If you want to move it to a new location, you can click on the top of the bar, then drag the bar to anywhere in the Launcher workspace.

3 Open a record that you want to create or edit.
4 Start completing or updating a field.
5 When you need to enter a diacritic, find the diacritic on the button bar.
6 Do one of these options:
If the diacritic its own character, click the button for the diacritic.
If the diacritic should appear above or below a character, type the letter that you want to combine with the diacritic, and then click the button for the diacritic.

Horizon combines the diacritic with the letter or puts it at your insertion point.
