VFP doesn't support Unicode.

>I am displaying a character using ? or @SAY (legacy stuff running under VFP6) with screen font set to "Courier New". On Win2k PC's the .EXE version executed with run-time DLLs shows a different character set than the exact same program run from command window.

>The character is CHR(187) - double arrow quote. When launching run-time EXE on Win2k it shows the graphic line symbol (U+2557 in character map).

>So, I wrote a little program to dump all ASCII chars from 33 to 255 and built a little EXE. Sure enough, the entire set shows the graphics symbols under run-time EXE. Then I tried different fonts and every one shows different character set under run-time execution.

>Is this a Win2k setting somewhere? Even if it is, why does it show differently in development version than in run-time? Anyone know?
