Hi guys,

I known that looking just the title, doesn't seems to be a post for
that forum, but it's :)

I've been playing with Michael Schwartz GDI extension to print some
strings in windows. If I user ASCII characters, everything is OK. My
problem comes when I use non ASCII characters. I'm using UTF-8 encoding
and for every UTF-8 char that I want to print, I end up with 2 or 3
garbage characters on screen.

Any help is more than welcome.

Thanks a lot.

Sounds to me like that GDI extension needs some edits to print native
unicode. Like TextOutW() or some such.
