Hi all, I am still trying to put a '�' trademark (tm)=Alt+0153 symbol in
the caption area of a dialog window.  I changed the default system font
on my machine to Arial (True True) and low-and-behold the � symbol now
shows up in the caption area on applications like Notepad, etc... BUT,
still doesn't appear in my Java apps?  There seems to be some other
character mapping going on here, my best clue for now is to edit the AWT
Font Properties for Windows text file that is located in the jre v1.2
lib directory.  Who knows where documentation on the setup of this file
maybe obtained?    At the head of the file is a line:

dialog.0=Arial,ANSI_CHARSET

Is this reference actually pointing to the Arial (True Type) font file
located in my c:\winnt\font directory?  If so, why doesn't the trademark
(Alt+0153=�) symbol show up since the "Exclusion Range Info" at the end
of the properties file is:

exclusion.dialog.0=0100-ffff

which translation to 256 to ffff.  The value 153 is less than 256 and
therefore should not be excluded.  Is this a bug in the win32
implementation of Java or am I still in the dark about the true nature
of this beast?    Matt
