What exactly do you want it to do? No, there's probably no generic library (though I might be wrong, haven't looked everywhere), but it can't be too hard if you don't set impossible goals for yourself. Realistically, if you could figure out what specific languages you "mostly" want to support, you'd simplify things a lot. (Or do you really really want to support CJK ???) Or if you don't need to display fonts, only en/decode the text, it would be simpler. Most people would probably just handle 8-bit text and convert that to/from Unicode manually when necessary. P.S. So no, I don't know (offhand) of any DOS compiler "fully" supporting wchar_t or similar, sadly, but maybe I'm wrong, I haven't really messed with it barely. Turbo Pascal makes it a bit harder, maybe, but if you can live with FPC or GPC, you could maybe?? use Allegro and AllegTTF: http://www.deleveld.dds.nl/allegttf.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
