>I know this seems old fashioned, but I have a particular need to use the DEFINE WINDOW command in VFP6. Within this window I use some line/box drawing characters [CHR(218), CHR(179), etc]. The window/form works fine within the VFP development environment. When I compile and run the appllication the line/box drawing characters display incorrectly - ie international characters. The DEFINE WINDOW command does allow you to specify the font with the FONT clause, but I can't find a font the works correctly in both development and runtime enviroments. Any ideas?

I'd suggest the Terminal font, which is a standard font on all systems I think. It's not a TrueType font, so it doesn't scale well (you need to use one of the pre-defined font sizes, but it maps the line drawing charachters to the old DOS character set properly.
