Thanks for the idea, but I don't think this is a question of translating the
application. The characters already display correctly on all
windows/datawindows that use the MS Sans Serif font, just not the reports
that use Arial font.
Since both fonts are supplied with windows and apparently work in other
applications, I don't understand why there is a problem on print-preview
mode datawindows/printing.
