>Is there anyway to set the codepage for the screen display (not a form, dbf, etc), but the _screen itself? I want to test some different fonts that require a different codepage for code sent directly to the screen and not on a form.

Depending on version of Windows, you may need to set a value in registry or just set your locale. VFP displays the characters in the OS codepage. My default codepage is 1250, and I'm seeing the specific characters on the _screen, no problem.

Under W2k it's quite simple - in control panel, regional options, select a locale with a codepage you need, and set it as default. It may require a reboot. Under XP, should be similar.

NT4, last time I tried it was similar to this, though maybe not under "regional options", probably under "input locale".

W95 and W98, it's in the registry, key is ACP=1252 that needs to be ACP={new codepage}. Since ACP (ANSI CodePage) is too short for search, I was usually finding it by looking for key OEMCP, which is next to it (that's actually DOS codepage, 437 default - does this mean the OEM's are still not informed there's Windows now and DOS is zombie?).
