Meelis,

I think that Win98 has no problem with fonts.

The problem is that most people set the wrong code pages to their OS
systems.

Have a look at these links

Unicode
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acad.../fontset.htm#b

OS systems
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/r...ocversion.mspx

I hope this helps a little bit?

Hi

Nope this does not help
Under win98 you just cant type cyrillic font in vb.net textbox
if i set font property arial and cyrillic then yes i can type cyrillic
letters but no estonian letters like ÖÄÜÕ
aso.

also when you want to fill listview from sqlserver, unicode text is
displayed ????? like it was in vb6

I used web GUIS in some of my apps to support all languages

this might be an idea for you ( this even works on win 95 ofcourse then with
VB6 )

fwiw, I've used Web Browser controls and html based UIs in VB6 too to
support languages and give the users the ability to customize their
screens... it turned out to be the best thing we could've done because it
eliminated the "multiple language support" issue for us. The end user can
use their own words, in their own language to describe the functionality our
software provides. Saved us bundles for translators, etc and the customers
seem extremely happy (especially after we convert their company logo to
something that shows on inside our software on one or more of those pages)

Than what has it to do with Unicode. Unicode is not describing a font, if it
works in one font than if the font has that charachter described, than it
would work in the other font.

However as far as I remember me has Win98 not such a nice way for setting
all codesets as it is in XP.
