Hi, Eric.
>After various other challenges in displaying international character sets, I've now hit the hardest challenge yet...I have a project where I have to store and display Chinese characters.
>
>The simplified Chinese character set will be sufficient, but I am (not surprisingly) using the US version of VFP, so it does not have the dual-byte text encoding features one would have access to in the far east version of VFP.
>
>What are my options here? Does anybody know about an ActiveX control that can display dual-byte fonts and character sets? Where is a good place to get dual-byte fonts for Chinese? What about another solution I haven't considered?
There is just one VFP version, and you're using the right one! 8-)
What you need is to have an international version of your OS.
By the way, I think James Sanders has already done this. Maybe you can ask him for a few tips.
