RE: Request: Font Character Extention
Everything in Windows is done with fonts and each font has its own characters. There is no thing anymore like a DOS font, or an pure ascii font, everything is simulated by using a specific font which can have different characters compared to another font for whatever ascii code.
If you want to use those characters you need to use a font which has those glyps.
If you want to use those characters in normal text, then you already can do that if you set the font for your text to the correct font (containing those characters) and use the proper code for those characters within those fonts (which isn't nessecairly the same code as the original extended ascii code like in DOS, or the same as another font for that matter). Of course, the contact also need that font to be installed, otherwise messenger will use the next best font it can find (and possible break the showing as you intended because the glyps for that code are different). And as with all things which has influence on how your contact sees stuff which you have set, he can always override it (again breaking the whole thing).
If you want to use it in your nickname, not possible. You can't change fonts in nicknames.
