i am very new to unicode fonts and have no idea how to display them. more specifically, i need to display japanese characters.

right now i'm developing an mfc dialog application. i tried setting the font to the unicode font in CreateFont but what character set do i use? also, when i copy and paste unicode characters in the visual studio editor, i just get "?"'s. thanks.
 
did you compile your project with the _UNICODE option set?
if you do that, all used strings will be in unicode input and output
 
I apologize for the straight forwardness of this but aparently you are not getting your auto replies from your other posts. This will be the last post I will make regarding this issue unless you notify me otherwise. In your previous posts on this topic, I have asked you to either post your email or send me an email at mgs@heartlab.com so I could send you the document I wrote up describing step by step, how to configure your system and application to display when UNICODE is defined. Also, there are 4 or 5 zip files that accompany the document that follow the steps. These would be sent one at a time. They were compiled using VC 6.0.

Once again I apologize but it seems like I type my responses for no reason.

does this also help me in having a wostream stream output unicode characters as unicode?

I checked my code, and it seems as if the << operator is overwritten in ostream, causing it to output my wide chars as ascii instead of unicode

if not, do you know the solution?
