Thanks Tom,
Thats kind of what I thought cause in VB6 I just changed the font when I
had similar problems. But I am new at RB and from all the reading I have
done it seems I was told to always use the system font in the properties for
best results. I am just trying to cover any possible issues when building
for Mac as I am new to them too :)
Appreciate it,
Dave Bert

You do it in code like this:
StaticText1.Text = "some special characters: " + Chr(169) + Chr(174) +
Chr(153)
This works provided that the characters actually exist in the font
specified for the StaticText control. The Windows default System font
does not include a TM but Arial does. The default font, System, for
StaticText will show an odd character for Chr(153).
