Re: Asian Fonts in Explorer



No no solution. Fact is, as Microsoft develops their operating systems and
claim they are more and more dbcs enabled they aren't or they are for a
short period then return to a potpourri of mush. What can I say? Yes if
you want the Multi-Byte character sets so that you can use this technology
over the long haul, then you'll need to use the specific OS. But remember
these Op Sys's all have their flukes.

I would not change the System fault. That could leave you in a very
unstable state.

What you are seeing is a result of the V(isual)B(asic) or VBA runtime
inadequacy.
