Hi Dragan, thanks for the clarification.

Can you not just set the font? This is all I ever need to do, but then again, I'm usually going to and from English (lower-128) to something else. I have never been able to display a cyrillic language and, say, German reliably on the same form because, as you know, they both use the upper 128 characters in different ways.

Having said that there are possibly other alternatives. For example, in INTL, there is a datasource strategy whereby the data sources can be changed depending on the language. When this is combined with INTL's Font strategy, you can also change fonts when you change languages.

But to display Russian and say German on the same form you need separate distingc fonts for each object, yes.

=>Fonts yes, but not scripts within fonts. It allows you to change scripts there where it opens regular font dialogue for editor, memo fields, browse windows and such, but in form and/or report designer it doesn't. In forms, there's no such thing as a possibility to define script used - it strictly conforms to the Windows ACP (Ansi code page). In reports, it calls the font dialogue where it lets you specify the script, but doesn't really use it or save it at all. In my case, it would be nice to have both cyrillic and latinic versions of the same report, but then I'd have to reboot with a different codepage to be able to work with the other codepage, and of course I couldn't work with the first one anymore.
