>>>Example:
>>>
>>>I have installed windows standard multi-language support from control panel/add/remove programs/windows setup.
>>>Fontname property of label allows to select fonts: Arial, Arial Baltic, Arial Cyr etc.
>>>Windows cpcurrent()=1251 (specified via Regional Settings/Russian during windows setup.)
>>>
>>>If I select Arial Baltic, the font actually shown is Arial Cyr !
>>>- it seems that form label displays only window's base language
>>>font and ignores other fonts.
>>>Is this foxpro bug ?

>>>Also, getfont() allows to select script. But it will not return the selected
