If you know the language of the data you want to display, you can set the FontCharSet property of a plain FoxPro text box in order to properly display the data. I doubt that there is a single font you can use for every language, but Tahoma can be used for quite few. Here are the choices with Tahoma:

1 - Western
178 - Arabic
186 - Baltic
238 - Central European
204 - Cyrillic
161- Greek
177 - Hebrew
222- Thai
162 - Turkish
163 - Vietnamese
