Thanks for your answer Paul.

Ok, I know how to select a font that contains chinese unicode
characters.
But I supose that in my eVC++ editor I can't write chinese characters,
so, how can I insert the chinese strings in my application? (We can
especify to our chinese partner how the texts must be written).

Juan.
