MS Sans Serif: I didn't get it quite right

Translation: I got it wrong.

MichKa took on with my previous post and explains why I'm plain wrong (even though he tells it very diplomatically ;-).

Michael's reader Joseph Bruno summarizes the behaviour of MS Sans Serif font :

- MS Sans Serif is not limited to Western European characters
- MS Sans Serif is limited to characters in the ANSI codepage of the current system locale.

In other words, this means that you can use MS Sans Serif to display Polish but it will work only if your system locale (aka Language for non-Unicode programs) is set to Polish (or another language using the same ANSI codepage). Which makes it difficult for you to test since switching the system locale is not a light thing (Would the font work correctly under AppLocale ? Switching to another user with the right settings using FUS might be another option if you are not connected to a domain. I'd have to check.).

Also, I overlooked the availability of Microsoft Sans Serif on the different versions of Windows. It looks like it's available only on Windows 2000 and XP (Huh! Not even on Windows 2003 ?). Be careful if you need to be compatible with older platforms.

Oh My!
