>I don't think it's absolutely correct that Fox always uses a font corresponding to current codepage (returned by cpcurrent()). When I chose Arial Cyrillic, I get Arial Cyrillic, but this is the seaparte distinct font, different from Arial. On this machine, it's ARICYR.TTF as opposed to ARIAL.TTF, but there are others.

>Note that these are Windows fonts, not third party fonts. I stronly recommend against third-party fonts... Anyway I got my fonts by "font-mining" in the Microsoft Developer Netword Universal Subscription (INTL) which comes with more foreign laguage versions of MS products that I can possibly use.

It is intresting that when I check "Cyrillic language support" in
multilanguage settings, FoxPro automatically adds a font named
"Arial Cyr" into the FontName property and this can be selected. This is intended well!
But actually, it displays pure Arial font instead of this one.
Seems that this is FoxPro bug?

About translation strategy:
I currently use I() function (I'm sorry I named my translation function with the same name as in INTL)
in class and form Caption and Tooltip properties (can be done only
in class/form designer, not by code, in define class it produces syntax error).
This allows to see the form in different languages even in in class/form designer and correct layout problems visually.
Also I have found, that autosize property of label and others will not work: when I assign new caption using I() function, the label does not resize? It this FoxPro bug?
