Multilingual - open a dialog, using cyrillic font

[Arnd Fischer]

Hi,

looking for a solution to locate a product for russia ...

Watcom 11.0, system W2K

I tried the following:
Installed multilingual in W2K
Tried severeal switches and options in the rc-files.

When the dialog is launched, there are no cyrillic characters.
Send some version to a friend, who owns a system with a russian
windows version. All static texts are displayed incorrect, when he
types something into an edit control, the cyrillic font ist used.

my questions:
In the rc-file, I used #pragma(1200) for unicode.
Or must I use 1251 for cyrillic? Or leave 1252 for Windows
multilingual?

In the dialog (rc-file), I used the font "MS Shell Dlg 2"
FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg 2"
There is no effect.

I created a font in the WM_INITDIALOG-section, setting it to Arial and
Lucida Sans Unicode, but no effect, except that the letters are larger
or wider, so the font was chosen correctly.

Maybe someone has a hint, concerning CreateFont.
Can I use a special charset, when I use this API-function? The
charmapper does not show cyrillic characters untill I change the
carset to DOS: cyrillic. Is there a possibility, to set explicitly
this font?

I hope, somebody has a clue,

thanks in advance,
Arnd
