    Hello!

    Testing Consolas monospaced ttf here.


    Some swedish chars:



    (looks good)


    Some latvian chars:

    a c e g i

    (nope. do not render)


    Can anyone recommend a suitable monospaced ttf that will support Latvian chars?

    Hi August!

    If you send UTF-8 characters, you must mark the message as UTF-8!

    SO SORRY EVERYONE for too many of these tests. I had already stated in a previous message that I would stop. But.. apparently, there was still the consequences of all various "replies" that would add to the stream.

    oxp *is* configured to use UTF-8. But when I look at the kludges of the completed message, I see IBM437 *before* the message is sent.

    Further, oxp doesn't accept latvian chars. I tried both Lucida and Consolas. But both do not accept latvian. That's part of the problem. Swedish and Finnish are fine.
