After adding design components to your reports and labels, you can specify that the values contained in your components use one of Plain Text formatting, Date and Time formatting, Currency formatting, or Number formatting.

 

Note that, in order to display foreign language formatting properly, it is essential that the field being formatted is set to use a language-specific Unicode font.

 

For example, to display a Chinese (Hong Kong) formatted date, you must have an equivalent Unicode font loaded on to your system.
