unicode fonts
-
hello, I'm developing an application that should be able to display names of people from various corners of the world (ie, lots of languages at once). For that, I'd really like to be able to create a font that could handle all the unicode characters (or at least some kind of roman alphabet subset, but with all the punctuation and stuff, so that ie. Goethe would spell Gothe with an umlaut etc). I'm not sure such fonts are even installed (WXP). I tried CreateFontIndirect, but since not even the LOGFONT structre has any attribute that would take "make it a unicode font", I don't know what to do next (and I really don't want to store language informoation and create multiple fonts etc). Any hints? PS: I also tried looking at unicode.org, but still I'm unable to render most of the fonts
