Horizon can import codepage files, Unicode files, and MARC format files. (A codepage tells your computer which set of language characters to use as display characters. For more information, see your Windows user guide or Windows online help.) In the case of MARC records, Horizon uses Unicode to translate the characters and display them properly. However, the number of characters available for display is dependent on the font used on your workstation. One Unicode font is available in Windows NT. Horizon includes an additional Unicode font.
Characters that cannot display in Unicode appear as asterisks ( * ). Horizon saves the code for any of these characters with the file so that when a Unicode capable font is used, whether on the Horizon workstation or on another computer to which you have exported the file, the character will appear correctly.
All Horizon applications running on the same workstation must use the same system font. (Changing the font for MARC record display in the MARC Editor does not affect the system font setting.) Do not switch from one system font to another when Horizon is running. Be sure to shut down all Horizon applications before switching to another font.
