Apparently Lucida or Consolas monospaced ttf for the console        are not good enough to support baltic chars.                     Regards,        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.37        * Origin: /|ug's Point, ONT, CANADA (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/107 354       SEEN-BY: 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
