If you could set at start, either UTF-8 or UTF-16 then hopefully this would also apply to the attribute byte. I personally would love more attribute bits to play with! So modes of 8+8 (the current 8-bit chr + 8 bit attribute) or 16+16 (UTF-16 and 16-bit attribute) get my vote. -Anthony _______________________________________________ Scintilla-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scintilla-interest
