Listbox font problems

[dqhodog]

Alright all you experts, I really need some help here. In a textbox, I have no problem setting the font to Microsot Sans Serif and the script to Greek to display the letters like alpha and beta. Now, how can I do the same for a listbox? The same settings give me different results. It looks like I am getting latin characters when i type in Chr(&HE1) for example (or whatever the number is for the greek letter alpha). I hope someone can help me out. Thanks.

Trty setting the font to Symbol - it gives the Greek equivalent of the English character and works OK in my ListBox control

That does work, but I guess I didn't explain myself. I need to use the Greek letters in conjunction with English. For example, I need to type Street Fighter (Greek letter alpha). Thanks for all help. All responses are appreciated.

This is caused by the way VB controls deal with cross-codepage issues. It is explained in more depth (with some suggested solutions) here:
