Frankly, the attitude of Forget all the stuff that you have working;
just throw it all away and move to Unicode is not one that wins many
converts. Backward compatibility and the ability to interface with

Thank you to all the ideas sent me about forcing Unicode on Win95/98. I
tryed out the MSLU and I found that is useful to me. The only problem is that I
can't use it with VBasic 6.0 . When I try to add to References it doesn't work.
And how can I get a documentation of MSLU?

Hi all
Ihave an applet which contains a drop down
list having all fonts present in my JVM. Now I need to add another font to this
drop down. This would mean adding the font to the JVM. How can this be
achieved?
I have tried modifying the font.properties file but
it does not seem to work.
Hi Sameer,
The "font list" in your JVM comes from the operating
system. The list you see is what the JVM thinks you have installed locally. To
add a font to the list, you have to install the font.

MSLU is documented in the Platform SDK.
BUT you are not going to get Unicode *functionality* from MSLU, from VB or
elsewhere; MSLU only gives you a wrapper layer (and it converts after that),
so the work you would do to make it callable from VB would not actually be
beneficial?

It seems that a sample UTF32 to UTF8 conversion in
http://www.unicode.org/Public/PROGRAMS/CVTUTF/ConvertUTF.c
contains dead code. In particular, the ConvertUTF8toUTF32 method has:
if (ch = UNI_MAX_UTF32) {
*target++ = ch;
} else if (ch

Not like in unix, we can set French UTF-8 locale by calling
setlocale(LC_ALL, fr_CA.UTF-8),
On NT, I don't know how to set French UTF-8 locale,
setlocale(LC_ALL, French_Canada.1252) seems not for UTF-8
My questions:
1. Is UTF-8 supported on NT ?
2. If yes, how to use setlocale() to set it up
This is not an NT issue so much as a Visual C++ CRT issue (the setloale
function is implemented there, for what you are probably using). At present,
there is no support for this (take a look at the code if you need to know
why, it makes all kinds of assumptions like one byte per character that

setlocale. Even if you try to do this with setlocale("French_Canada.65001") it
won't work correctly.
It's a
pitty , because the porting of Unix programms,relying on UTF-8 locale becomes
very challenging task on Windows.
Do you think that UTF-8 is the wrong way for internationalization of cross-platform software ?
Our application supports solaris, hpux, aix and NT. To internationalize it, we are
thinking of UTF-8 (setlocale(), strcoll() for sorting, mbstowcs() for length...) so that
we don't have to add wide
I'm also thinking of 3rd party
UTF-8 support such as libutf8, IBM ICU.
They seem no good supports on NT, what do you think
?We are usingICU for all our Unicode
needs,on NT, Windows 2000, and Unix, and itworks perfectlywell
on all of these.

No. On Windows NT/2000/XP/CE, everything is UTF-16 Unicode, for all locales.
Locales and codepages are separate, as they should be.
You should compile your programs with UNICODE and _UNICODE defined to use the native
Unicode kernel functions.
