<<How does one switch fonts WITHIN a text string?>> You cannot switch fonts within a regular text string or control. If you cannot find a single font that has all the characters you need you will have to find another solution.
You could do this using an RTF text string or memo control, but be aware that you will require much more space to store the text when RTF is involved (probably several hundred characters per license plate). If you can manage your output through HTML, you should be able to handle it that way also. -- Larry
