    The IDE is not Unicode. But you can add Unicode support to Property Pages as long as you use Unicode controls.

    "The IDE is not Unicode."
    i know that, but honestly we can do it using Add-ins, but i need more info
    "But you can add Unicode support to Property Pages as long as you use Unicode controls. "
    the forms 2.0 even the RichTextBox can use it(i have the functions for it)
    PS: you did excellent things, i'm doing too(clsImage = DIB's + pointers), console template and many more

    To point out the obvious you could use tB instead and everything is unicode without additional code. Unicode forms and controls, unicode property box, unicode editor, unicode function names... You can make your function names using color emojis if you're a psycho.

    I would use Krool's Common Controls replacement instead.

    changing the font to Terminal is good? but not compatible?

    Only changing the font does not make the IDE Unicode capable.
    If Terminal is a good font? Yes, I guess. I use Consolas.
    In current Windows all fonts are Unicode ready (unless you install a custom font that is not).

    What these fonts are, is that they are mono-spaced (every character occupies the same width). That doesn't have to do with being Unicode or not.
