>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.

Dragan, have you studied the structure of a windows font file?
It would be possible to make copy of this file, change
name e.q. Arial to some other and
move some othger scipt to English codepage place.
Then you can select it from foxpro.
It seems to be only solution. Do you know, is
the structure of font file available somewhere?
Or are such fonts available?
