Sure there are better ones, but it has been this way for a while (as long as I have used mIRC). I am not saying things won't ever change, but you don't see people flocking to switch to a DVORAK keyboard either. update: I looked at the font you linked to. I hope we see something similar used soon Last edited by root66; 01/03/04 11:12 PM.

The font (fixedsys iteself) doesnt support the euro. So for mIRC to "enable support" you'd need mIRC to change to a font that supports it. -KingTomato

Personally, I like having mIRC (or any program) not touching anything but its own folder and a few rgistry values. The only real patch for this is for the end user to install the updated font, or for mIRC to choose a default font with the capabilities. -KingTomato
