>I developed an application in VFP6, Windows98 Central European. Forms, tables, programs... are marked with codepage 1250 (Romanian) for proper displaying of Romanian specific characters: ã(alt+0227),â(alt+0226),î(alt+0238). The font is Arial.
> 1.Under Windows 9x, English edition, this characters are properly displayed, but alt+254 and alt+186 aren't.
>The only solution I could find was to change the registry key:
>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\Nls\Codepage\ACP from 1252 into 1250 and restart Windows as post-setup executable, but all other Windows applications are affected.
>Can you give me another solution for my problem?
> 2.Under Windows 95, Hebrew Enabled Edition (GUI is in English) my application didn't run at all (Multilingual Support, including Central European installed). For test purposes, I installed VFP6 and compiled my application here. Now it runs, but all Romanian specific characters are replaced by Hebrew characters.
