I can't help here - I haven't even seen a win98 box in a long time, and I haven't got any relevant code. I imagine your problem here is simply that the font you are using doesn't have the necessary glyphs. That was a common problem back then, so if the boxes just have the fonts that were standard back then, I'd guess that's what's up. If you have the correct font and correct code page set, for a given European language anyway, you can display pretty much all the glyphs just with extended ASCII codes. Usually... But that assumes everyone using your app has the exact fonts that you use, and has their code page set the same - it's a nightmare, which is why the MBCS and then Unicode schemes gained traction. Note that even with Unicode, if your font doesn't have the right glyphs, you still get into trouble here... There are mechanisms that allow you to determine the coverage of a given font, but there's no easy universal solution.
