[RESOLVED] show ‰ in combo

Is it possible to show the ‰-sign in a combobox?
It always displays a black square in stead of the sign.

Worked fine for me

I can show the %-sign, like you say. But i cant show the ‰-sing.
It has 2 litle cricles at the right of the slash

I don't think so (although it displays nicely in a msgbox).

It turns out the sign is Chr(137), and I tried to display it in a combo box, textbox and richtextbox all to no avail.

If you set the font for the textbox, combobox, whatever, to Verdana, it'll display it.

thanks, this works fine.

Nice catch. How did you figure this one out? :)

I've been bitten by the "this character doesn't exist in that font" bug before. :)

I keep CharMap handy, but I happened to know that the double-zero-percent symbol exists in Verdana.
