I have UTF8 dispaly and encode in all windows font linking is enabled multibyte textbox and display enabled SJIS/JIS conversion disabled UTF-8 display enabled ANSI codes enabled using the latest version of mIRC under vista 64-bit, this seems to have have heppend after i enabled UTF8 settinfs in fonts.

With font linking enabled, mIRC is searching through your fonts for those characters from another font that can be used instead. It hangs the first time while it searches through the list. You can either use a font that properly supports unicode or disable font linking. Disabling font linking will mean you won't see the characters, though. - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"

Okey, that makes sense, can you recommend one that does support UTF-8 with åäö? im currently using courier new.
