This special font replaces a number of standard characters with ‘bar’ 1, ‘bar’ 2. The followingcharacters on the keyboard give access to the special k-Space Control characters:Normal character How to get k_font! Shift + 1 ‘bar’ 1@ Shift + 2 ‘bar’ 2“ Shift + ‘ ‘bar’ 2# Shift + 3 ‘bar’ 3$ Shift + 4 ‘bar’ 4% Shift + 5 ‘bar’ 5^ Shift + 6 ‘bar’ 6These characters are the first six characters in the normal fonts (it can be checked in the Windowsprogram Character Map, available under Accessories). Except for the ‘bar’ 2 as “, most of thesecharacters are above the corresponding number on many keyboards. (Note: there is no real consistencyin this, due to the fact that many countries have their own keyboard lay-out).The same characters are also used when the keypad keys are used (when Num Lock is on). So thekeypad key 1 gives the 'bar one' character while the key above the Q gives the normal one.The special font is used automatically where needed, as e.g. in the Zone edit control on the k-SpaceControl Panel and various dialogs of the k-Space Display.
