Many truetype fonts only supply glyphs for single-byte encodings (ISO-Latin-1, for example -- pop up the Windows character map utility and see what some of the font files contain. Heck -- on my current machine, the True Type fonts are all old third-party items. All the standard fonts are now Open Type. The only font that appears to have "full" Unicode is "Arial MS Unicode" -- regular Arial family looks to be Latin-1, Cyrillic and/or Greek, Hebrew, various Arabic squiggles (I don't know how many variations of similar squiggles count as separate languages). -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
