We have a user from Lithuania that complains he can't get Baltic characters to display properly
on our FWH app.

Since my Windows version is the Western one I have no way of doing more testing than the
following. Take this 4 chars: ÅČĖŽ

If I use MS Word's Insert Symbol dialog I see that Å can be entered as Alt+0197 and Ž as Alt+0142.
There's no Alt+ shortcut for ČĖ. So if I paste those for chars in a TGet object, it displays them
as: ÅCEŽ. It removes the accented portion for those 2 with no Alt+ shortcut.

It get's worst if I use CharMap.exe to attempt the same: ČĖ just become to question marks: Å??Ž

For this I made sure of using an OpenType font (i.e. those fonts listed by windows with a double-O)
because those support non-Western chars, like Baltic which is the one required here.

Here's how those chars look: http://members.shaw.ca/lkrausem/baltic.jpg

Any help on how to make them display correctly is greatly appreciated.

Luis,

It seems as you need Unicode support. We are working to implement it in FWH.

From FWH 9.01 we have started implementing new functions and more changes (classes changes) will be included in the next build to have full Unicode support

If you are interested in testing what we already have in development, please email me, thanks
