Marc
Thanks for pointing out the obvious!
I was using Microsoft Sans Serif, which is the default menu
font for the 'Windows Classic' appearance (on my BlackBox 1.6 Windows XP
machine).
That font indeed does not support that character.
(The default 'Windows Classic' menu font on my BlackBox 1.5 Windows XP
machine is Tahoma.)
On the subject of BlackBox (1.5) freezing during long running Commands
under XP we now have more experience using it in NT & Windows 2000
compatibility
modes. Things are definately better with no obvious adverse effects.
However screen redraws could still be significantly better. A typical
symptom
is that if the Command is writing to a Text Window you can see the
bottom line
being updated, but the rest of the window may not be updated, or is
updated
incorrectly. However just seeing 1 line can give useful feedback on the
progress of the Command.
Regards
Robert.
