I wasn't able to test this on my XP box because I didn't have the Chinese
fonts installed.

Just got around to adding them:

    1. Control Panel->Regional And Language Options
    2. Clicked the "Advanced" tab, and under "Code Page Conversion
Tables", checkbox'ed the "10002 MAC - Traditional Chinese Big 5" font
    3. Went into the "Languages" tab, and checkbox'ed "Install files for
East Asian Languages"
    4. (Used the Windows XP CD where needed)
    5. Reboot

Now when I run the app, it runs fine on XP in all respects:

    * Title bar looks like it should.

    * No matter what I do with the menus (tried about 15 times),
      I could not replicate the giant "List" menu.
      Tried opening the first "Submenu" in different ways
      (dragging, click-releasing), and optionally navigating
      its submenus, then sliding into the "List" menu.. 
      always the List menu displayed correctly and correctly sized.

I'm using the same executables I used for the Vista test.

I've added "normal-winxp.jpg" screenshot here, which looks perfectly fine.

One thing I noticed in Ian's zip version of the program was leading spaces
in some of the font names. Removing the leading space, but that didn't seem
to change the behavior in any way I could see.

In fact, I found I could comment out *all* the Fl::set_font() stuff, and
it still worked fine. Something I noticed about 1.3.x (and like!) is that
no set_font() stuff was needed to get the Asian fonts to display.

Of interest, Albrecht, my fonts look a little different than yours.  Your
menus seem to have serifs, whereas mine seem to look more like the usual
Helvetica. With or without the set_font() I get this, and with or without
the leading space in the font name.

In my case I'm using the VS 7 .NET compiler, not sure if that matters.
And when adding the font in the control panel, I /only/ checkbox'ed the
"10002 MAC - Traditional Chinese Big5" font; I ignored the other fonts
that said things like "Simplified Chinese".
