No, no, I know how to change my display fonts in Control Panel. I meant that because Windows doesn't do any fancy font switching in title bars to cover glyphs that aren't in the selected font (as, for example, Notepad does), and because I don't always know exactly which glyphs are covered by the font I did select, I don't know whether certain non-Latin-1 characters will appear correctly or as boxes. Sorry, it was late and I was tired and that was not the most coherent message I've ever scratched out. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
