ANSI_CHARSET and SYMBOL_CHARSET need to be defined (in include/wingdi.h), but I have some doubts about the details. SYMBOL_CHARSET should be defined as (BYTE)2, I believe. If the current value of DEFAULT_CHARSET as (BYTE)1 is correct, then I suspect ANSI_CHARSET should be (BYTE)0. I question the current value of DEFAULT_CHARSET, and suspect it should be the reverse (DEFAULT:0 ANSI:1). DEFAULT defines tend to be 0 except for a few special cases (and this one does not fit as one of in my book). I'm sure someone out there is more familiar with this than I am, and I would appreciate their feedback. Notes: There is a function in shell32.dll as distributed in Win95-OSR-2.1, that uses the LOGFONT structure. In this function, the structure is used for three fonts: "Times New Roman", "Arial", and "Wingdings". The lfCharSet member for each case is 0, 0, and 2, respectively. -- Jeff Smith _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

Don't know much about this but the Microsoft headers say that: * ANSI_CHARSET is 0 * DEFAULT_CHARSET is 1 * SYMBOL_CHARSET is 2 And that settles it. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Linux: Because rebooting is for adding new hardware

They are already defined there: #define ANSI_CHARSET (BYTE)0 /* CP1252, ansi-0, iso8859-{1,15} */ #define DEFAULT_CHARSET (BYTE)1 #define SYMBOL_CHARSET (BYTE)2 Why arent they in your wingdi.h file? Ciao, Marcus

They are in mine, but Jeff seems to think they are wrong. All I'm saying is that since they match the Microsoft values they are by definition correct. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Any sufficiently advanced Operating System is indistinguishable from Linux

I think "correct" is too strong a word here. I would go for "conforming".
Well said ! Given Microsoft's biblical documentation "correctness", I can't help but wonder whether we should reject this value order completely and use our own instead ;-)) -- "My attitude is, everybody should try competing with Microsoft once in their life.
