    Some Font questions.

    If I use some strange font which I have on my system, I assume that my application will have a problem if compiled and run on another system.

    For the above reason, I use MS Sans Serif for everything I do. What other fonts are fairly safe to use?

    In particular, I want to have lettering like the following on Command Buttons and/or Labels.

    A3 ex x2 yx Vr

    Is there a font or a procedure for putting the above on a VB Command Button or Label? Would the application show the above if run on another system?

    Any True type font such Arial, Currier, etc are safe to use.
    Regarding your special characters: if you are not processing them through code then I suggest that you create a small icons and use them instead of Captions. Otherwise you may have some problem as they are not part of ASCII character set..

    Each font has different characters representing ASCii values.
