Fonts don't show ascii chars (wodTelnetDLX)

I'm using the evaulation version, running your vb.net sample. When I connect to our servers, the characters for lines and borders don't show correctly.

i.e. Ascii char 188 is a corner character(╝), but it displays as an 1/4 symbol (0188). I'm not particularly au fait with telnet clients, so any help would be useful.

Damn smileys! Character code 188 is replaced with 0188.

Richard,

what terminal emulation do you use? Can we connect there to try?

No chance of connecting here unfortunately. Our current client uses ANSI emulation and a font called Terminal.

I belive the font is the clue here. We are receiving char 0188 and it gets displayed as a corner character in our current client. As the Terminal font is not available in your control, it is displayed as the 1/4 char.

I think the Terminal font is a bitmap font, and so isn't available in your font selection.

Richard,

what if you use our wodterminal font we provide with the component?
