Dear M.Cope,

Thanks for helping me. I have changed the local settings to Azerbaijan and I
can display the special characters on the text editors like notepad. But I
need information about how to change editor fonts of Borland C++ Builder's.
I have found a few fonts already loaded for this editor in the Editor
Options at the Tools menu. But they aren't include my special characters.
What must I do at this point?
Thanks & Regards,
Gurhan
