Hi. I'm writing an RSS reader and have just discovered it doesn't work with international characters. I'm handling UTF-8 just fine and can handle extended "special" characters, like accents and so on, but for some reason I cannot draw Chinese characters.
Here's the low-down:
I set a breakpoint to check the internal value of a string, which, when I view it using the VS2005 string viewer, shows the proper Chinese characters. However when I draw this to the screen using DrawString (in font Tahoma 8.25f), I get boxes. I also get boxes if I pass the string to MessageBox.Show ().
What do I need to do to draw these characters properly?? As I said they ARE there when I view the string inside VS... ??
