That I can       do. What I want is somehow make any character on the screen to be double in       size(width), a true DBCS. Probably I need to find an old font program and       disassemble, to see how        they done it.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
