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.
