I am pretty sure you have to be wrong here, Michael. Attend me: 1) API converts from Unicode to the wrong code page 2) API does some sort of work with the string 3) API tries to display the string
How on earth could it from the Last Resort font, unless it is a generic glyph that contains no script info (which would be no better than a question mark or a NULL glyph) ? In any case, Code2000 giving some glyph for more cases is still a better solution.
