Hi all,

May have seen some of my questions before regarding displaying text from a file. I've run into a new hump with which I hope someone can help me.

I am trying to pull text from a file which will include Chinese characters. I can't seem to get them to display correctly with .txt so I am trying to load an RTF instead. Tried creating a font using the tool in the compiler, but specifying CJK font lists crashed the compiler.

Next I tried using PhiLho's advice to others to load charsets for the chinese characters in the font mingliu but it still displays the text as ????????

Any thoughts??
