Hi Everyone,
I have a problem in printing receipt that contain Chinese characters, somehow I manage to show Chinese characters in my application by using Unicode, and setting the regional to Chinese.
But when I'm printing the text file that contained Chinese, it shows special characters.
My code is like this,

Set Device To Printer
CSTR= Chrtran(Filetostr(cfiletoprint),"{","}")
???CSTR

cfiletoprint is the text file generated by the system,
but when I'm printing it directly from the textfile, it prints perfectly,
Thanks

There is no such thing as "special character". But FoxPro..? That lame wasn't updated since 1994... are you serious?

How can you hope to get something good from this stone-age lame? No wonder Unicode support it a complete mess you would not like to deal with. Please see:

(Sigh...) If you want to use such old and lame stuff, you will have to suffer, and you won't see much sympathy and help. Who wants to mess with dirty things?.. Do you really need all that?
I would throw out the whole idea of keeping FoxPro without any hesitation... If you can, of course...
