Hi Francisco,
your answer seems promising. However as I can see in Excel, it's still
Arial. So I used as well Arial. I switched between DEFAULT_CHARSET,
ANSI_CHARSET, SHIFTJIS_CHARSET, THAI_CHARSET and CHINESEBIG5_CHARSET. When I
paste the char here: "?" (at least when sending from my PC it shows up as
Chinese character, although I didn't change the font).
By the way I found as well an "Arial Unicode MS" and "Multinational Ext"
font on my PC. They do as well the same as Arial.
So what font do you think I have to use ?

Christian
