Hi Ross I caught this thread a little late.

It will also ensure that Thai is used regardless of locale settings. regards Neil ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ross Levis" <r...@stationplaylist.com> To: "'Borland's Delphi Discussion List'" <delphi@elists.org> Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:19:30 +1200 Subject: Re: Non-unicode issue in D7 > Good point, but the font is the same (Arial) and also same "DEFAULT_CHARSET" > for both components. > > I've attached a portion of a screen shot showing the problem.
