Wayne,

The key is to use a proper font. Try running the following code. If the pound symbol doesn't show (because you don't have the "Latha" font installed), you may change the font to any of the following:
Gautami, M V Boli, Mangal, Raavi, Shruti, SimHei, Tunga, ...

o=CreateObject('Form')
o.AddObject('txt','label')
o.txt.FontSize=30
o.txt.Caption=Chr(163)
o.txt.FontName='Latha'
o.txt.Visible=.T.
o.txt.AutoSize=.T.
o.Show(1)

>I'm having trouble with currency symbols eg Euro chr(128), Yen chr(165), Pound chr(163), displaying correctly on Chinese WinXP operating system (codepage 950). The executable was compiled on the standard XP pro.(codepage 1252). I have tried cpconvert() & strconv(), neither work.
