Is it possible to implement double byte character set fonts so instead of chr$(0) through chr$(255), that we have chr$(0) through chr$(65535)? |

No If you want to use Unicode/UTF8/UTF16 etc you will have to roll your own methods. Strings consist of a series of single bytes chr$(0-255). You can display characters 32-255 but not the low 0-31 non-printable ones. You can create your own fonts but will have to come up with a translation table. Jim VK7JH MMedit |
