Combining multiple fonts in a display string

Hi,

I'm a newbie to VB .Net and am unable to locate an example of combine two
different font types (Arial and Wingdings 3) in a display (text) string.
Does anyone have an example of combining two font types together in a string
that I could utilize? The text will be going into a button field and I
wanted to use some of the symbols that are part of the Wingdings font types
along with my main text.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

Hi:
To save time, I used the "brute force" method when I recently needed two
fonts on a button.

I designed the button in Photoshop using the background color and fonts of
my choice and then saved the image as a .jpg file.
I then created a button in VB form designer and selected "Image" then
selected my image file.
Only took me ten minutes and it looks terrific!!

Create a class that derives from 'Button' and overrides its 'OnPaint'
method. In this method you can draw custom text onto the button using
'e.Graphics.Dra wString(...)'.

I would like a wxListCtrl with 3 columns in it. The number of rows in it will vary during run-time. In the first column of each row should be a wxCheckBox, which the user can check or uncheck. Is such an arrangement possible? Any example source code? wxCheckListBox comes close - but not close enough. Unfortunately, it does not derive from wxListCtrl, which contains the function InsertColumn() needed for multiple columns

Hi all, I've noticed a strange error on my website. When I print a capital letter P with a dot above, using & #7766; it appears correctly, but when I use P& #0775 it doesn't.

For example, "Lucida Console" is a very attractive and readable monospaced font available in...

Greetings. Is it possible using HTML and CSS to represent a combining diacritical mark in a different style from the letter it modifies? For example, say I want to render Å‘ (Latin small letter o with a double acute accent), but with the o in black and the double acute accent in green. Are either of the following valid? 1. <span style="color: black;">o</span><span style="color: green;">&#x030B;</span>
