    Does VB6 support Local fonts

    hi all

    I am doing an Application in VB6(in windows 2000) in which i have a local indian font.
    I have downloaded the font and installed on my system.
    Now i have to use this font inside a textbox.i am selecting the local font for the textbox in the properties of TextBox.
    When i run the application i am not able to get the equivalent characters.

    Does VB support this localization.If so please someone give me idea.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards
    Rajmv

    If it is a true type font then VB should DEFINITELY be able to display it. I dont understand why it wouldn't!

    Hi Rajmv,
    I have the same problem showing cyrillic chars on Win2000 system.

    There is maybe a solution:

    Try to change the Win2000 default font to your font:
    Contro panel -> regional settings -> general -> set default

    for more information see:



    bye

    Hi,
    Do you use Unicode font? if Yes, I think VB6.0 do not support for it. You should download some ActiveX which support for unicode.
    Good luck!
    Please tell me if you can solute.
    Bye
