Hello Jernej,

On Tuesday, October 30, 2001, 2:39:24 PM, you wrote some things about
"Character Encoding / Fonts" to which I would like to add the following:

HT>> Is there a way to use variable pitch fonts in The Bat (Tahoma would be a
HT>> good choice), and is there a way to quickly switch without having to change
HT>> the font in the editor preferences for the whole program? Ideally, I would
HT>> just switch the encoding from 'Latin' to 'Thai', where Thai would be
HT>> defined as using the Tahoma font.

JS> The Bat! can use variable pitch fonts only in the latest beta versions

JS> area" of the site. Note, that it's slower than normal viewer, and

Ok,  I'll try that.. I don't receive *that* many emails in Thai anyway, and
my  current  e-mail  software (Forte Agent) doesn't show it fully automatic
either.

Normally  I  try  to  stay as far away from HTML/RTF in email as I can spit
it..  I  assume  this  RTF  mode  can  be switched off easily when it's not
needed?  Basically  all  I  need  is  to  temporarily switch to a font like
Tahoma, only when doing stuff in Thai language.

The  Thai  encoding in The Bat! already seems to work; if I write "������"
and  encode this message as 'Thai (Windows-874)' then a recipient using for
example Outlook (curses!) sees it in Thai just fine.

JS> BTW: you may try to edit the registry, and manually change fonts, but
JS> the results are usually very ugly :)

:-] Evil Grin... :)

Cheers,
Han.
