I use the following:
Windows 2000
VB 6 SP3
Office 2000
I am from Greece and all the programs I have created use greek fonts on the forms, controls etc. But yesterday, suddenly, without installing another program or something, all of my vb programs couldn't display greek fonts. Why? I checked settings for language in Windows and was ok. I can type Greek in Word, Access, and Excel, but in VB I cannot. Reinstall it? or what?

May be that particular font file is corrupted or something!!
Like , on my Japanese system there are more than few Japanese language fonts installed ( comes def. with Jap. windows actually). So, i may be typing 'japanese' but which font?
For ex. it comes in MS Gothic, MS P.Mincho etc... so, if MS Gothic FOnt file is corrupted, Other applications can be correcting it to get a nearest one.. may be say MS.P.Mincho

So check the default font of VB, and try the same font in WORD or Excel. See what happens..


Easier would be to just reinstall that font!
