Hi there.
I just tried to find out why Poser won't display any fonts (no luck, BTW), when I noticed the obviously quite common "MB_USEGLYPHCHARS not supported" fixme. I don't know if it's related to the missing fonts thing, so I googled a little. In case someone wants to implement this (the unicode stuff is _way_ over my head), I found this description and a glyph table - there seems to be next to know useful info on MB_USEGLYPHCHARS on MSDN, so maybe it helps:

Maybe you could write a test case for it? Seems like you'd just call WideCharToMultiByte on a WCHAR string like { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 }, then check the output for the cases that MB_USEGLYPHCHARS is specified and isn't. The output strings should be different. Perhaps try it on a few different code pages?

I would, if I had the skills... :-/ Really, I only know PHP and a little C++/ Qt, that's about it. The only patch for Wine I've written so far added a few additional PCI IDs for wined3d, and that was also the first time I ever touched plain C. ;-)
My mail was more about the link to the glyph table, as it seems to be pretty much undocumented, in case that's the reason it wasn't implemented.
