Vietnamese Characters in a VFP App

Hi,

I've installed vietnamese language pack on Windows XP Pro
also put CODEPAGE=1258 in Config FPW

I need to be able to have the following data in a VFP app
ngày cu?i xu?t d? li?u

Some of the chrs are not available when I printed all the chrs with ?
chr(x)
I've set Fonts to Tahoma and Courier New
Word Supports the characters no problem with courier new

Notepad complains that some chr's are unicode and obviously VFP doesn't
support unicode!
Is there a way to set the codepage to the unicode codepage?????

Have also tried x=filetostr('viet.txt') && Viet.txt contains
ngày cu?i xu?t d? li?u

looking at x in the debugger it has some crap characters in the string

getcp() doesn't have 1258 in the list either! Is there a way to get it into
the VFP NLS list?

IS anyone using VFP with Vietnamese data with all the diacritic
characters?

TIA

Rob

Even some of the characters I want to display haven't come out correctly in
this post!

I think they were in a unicode 16 format and it was posted as unicode 8

Not just a problem for VFP it seems! :o(
