Re: W/95 users, Which fonts can you see?
I can see them all, but have no way of knowing
if I'm seeing them correctly since numbers/letters
will always be displayed, even if a different (or
default) font must be used.

Where you're gonna run into problems is with the
symbols (pictures) that take the place of regular
numbers/letters in some fonts.

Cheers, Mac

Hehe, well I don't have a copyright on it...

Pretty much the only "picture" fonts that came
with Windows 95 are the "wingdings" and
"symbol" fonts.

Ya could always do ASCII art...
Code:
                  ''~''
                 ( 0 0 )
         +---oooo--(_)--oooo---+
         |                     |
         |    ASCII            |
         |                     |    
         |           ART       |
         |    ooooO            |
         |    (   )   Ooooo    |
         +-----\ (----(   )----+
                \_)    ) /
                      (_/

These are all from the "wingdings" font (included

OK guys, here's pretty much all the "wingdings"
that show up on Windows 95:


! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ? @ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ \ ] ^ _ ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~  * *


They're shown in VB code...

Cheers, Mac
