There are two parts to this issue:

First, we must make sure dBASE Plus uses the correct code page when interpreting text encoded in source files (.prg, ;wfm, etc.), or text encoded in an incoming byte stream from a dBASE Plus Web App.

Second, we must make sure dBASE Plus uses a display font that contains the characters we wish to display. For font specification, see Selecting Specialized Product Fonts.

dBASE Plus interprets text according to the code page assiciated with the language driver you specity. You can set the language driver in the PLUS.ini file through the CommandSettings section as follows:

[CommandSettings]

ldriver=<internal Name>

For a complete list of Language Drivers and their internal names, please see the topic "About language drivers". Select the language driver that best matches the language you wish to display.

In addition to using the ldriver setting, you can also use the BDE to designate a desired language driver. In the absence of an ldriver setting in the PLUS.ini, dBASE Plus uses the default language driver from the BDE configuration. This BDE setting can be used to designate alternative language drivers in much the same fashion as an ldriver setting. Please note that an ldriver setting takes precedence and will therefore override any subsequent change to the BDE configuration.
