Hi guys,

I am stumped at this point because I have been unable to get my GUI to display text in menu items correctly: to be precise, characters in the IPA extension show up as squares. Characters from the Phonetic Extensions show up though.

It is most likely because the DefaultMenuItem object resorts to using the default Windows GUI font for menu items. I know this because when I go to the control panel -> appearance and edit the menu items to use Arial Unicode MS, the characters are correctly displayed. For anyone who wants to check, here'e one character in the IPA Extension that shows up as squares is: U+025B (The Latin Small Letter Open E) and U+0254 (Latin Small Letter Open O).

Any ideas/code examples about how to proceed will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

D.
