Unicode strings displayed on .net controled?

[Jochen Albert]

Hi there,

Perhaps someone can give me a hint on what i have to do to get chinese
and japanese charakters displayed in my .net application.

I am using winXP and .net environment is 1.1 with latest servicepacks.

So, if i want to display chinese unicode characters in my application,
this is very weird. On TreeViews, CheckBoxes and Buttons I see chinese
charakters, but not on some labels and groupboxes.
When trying the application on another machine (also xp) there are no
chinese charakters at all, but only those nice boxes.

has anyone experience with my problem?

regards,
Jochen

Have you checked the Font properties?
Most fonts don't support chinese.

Thanks for the tip, but now i'm even more confused.
All Fonts are set to Microsoft sans serif, with that i see partly
chinese characters.
when switching to another font "arial" in my test, the visible chinese
characters disappeared, so perhaps "microsoft sans serif" supports
chinese characters only sometimes?

perplexed,

When you bring up the font selection dialog there is a combo "Script" - mine
does not list chinese but does list several others - are these all set
appropriately? (this is not in the expanded property in property view).

If that is the same then I can only assume that you have an application bug
since it is hard to see how it can be a framework bug if it is object rather
than class dependent

The "script" combo is set everywhere to the same. (it's set everywhere
to "western" so i dont think thats apropriate, but anyway doesn't make a
difference when changing that).

One thing i saw when playing arround some minutes ago is, that if I
change the "FlatStyle" property of a control from Standard to System,
then there are chinese charakters displayed.

Does that make any sense?

Thanks so far,
Jochen
