Yuri,

Sorry for jumping to this thread. I do not have this font on my computer. I checked all fonts in the list of fonts and for none of them script combobox was enabled. All of them are English based and therefore when I type in Russian in VFP8 I see symbols like greek letters. What should I do to fix that problem?

Where are these fonts are coming from?

Thanks in advance.
