Strange character set in vb6 program
In a program of mine I use labels with Greek words, to describe various things.
The charecter set I 'm using is Arial.
Strangely these have been changed to @Malgun Gothic. I don't know how. Maybe because of various installations-reinstallations of the windows system I 've been doing recently.
It therefore shows hieroglyphics or it shows the correct word but with the letters distorted.
I can correct this from properties. I change to ms sans serif and then to arial and now the label looks ok.
But there are many such labels, sometimes cropping up depending on the situation.
How can I scan the modules for @Malgun Gothic ?

These are set in the .FRM files.
These files are plain text files so you can edit them by hand.
Just open all the .FRM files and do a global change on all opened files.

With notepad one by one it shows those things.
All together ?

I use either TextPad or NotePad++ for "search & replace" across multiple documents.

For multiple files replacement of text I use a program called TexRep.
For replacing fonts in the IDE you can use and add-in.

Re: Strange character set in vb6 program
Fonts named with a leading @ symbol are used for displaying vertical-language characters (Chinese, etc.). No idea what would change those on you though for Greek.
Why do some font names begin with an at-sign?
"Arial" is not a proper UI font. Never was. It should only be used within documents (RichTextBox, printing, etc.). It does not belong in a Label, TextBox, etc.
"Segoe UI" has been the UI font now since 2006 when it replaced the crusty old "Tahoma" font.
