How is DBbasic/DBPro handling a text rendering. Arial font has a selection of charsets for different languages (latin, greek, cyrillic, arabs). Modern winapps can render a mixed language text (mixed latin+greek) just fine. Trick is to have unicode aware strings (utf8, utf16, ...).

Do DBPro support UTF8 to give a international aware text rendering?
If not, is there plans to enhance to utf8 support.

This is from the Help, Does this not address your issues?

SET TEXT FONT
This command will set the typeface of the font you wish to use. You can optionally specify a character set value when
selecting your font. The character set value allows you to use other western non-unicode languages not available
through the standard ASCII character set. To switch the character set to another language, use an international charset
code. These codes can be located in the Principals section along with the ASCII Character Code Lists.
