here.. use this function before GetCharacterPlacement and change it...

//===================
		WideCharToMultiByte(term->ucsdata->font_codepage , 0, wbuf, len, buff3, 
1020, 0, 0);
		GetCharacterPlacement(hdc, buff3/*temp1*/, /*8*/len, 0, &gcpr, FLI_MASK | 
GCP_CLASSIN);
//===================

so now its not a static array of test bytes u write in code.... it actually 
works fine now...
i didnt know at first that WCTMB() could convert from Unicode to different 
CodePages...

btw term->ucsdata->font_codepage <== that depends on the font's script that 
u choose...
or remove that and put 1256 or 0x4e8....


> well... try it and tell me how it went...

ak...
