Daniel Thanks first of all for replying - I am getting frustrated with this but am determined to find away.
I have tried all the different fonts and none seem to work. Only buttons in plain english work ok. I have even downloaded a CCF file from someones excellent example and it is the same issue with their file. So it must have something to do with the software and/or vista not liking the characters. Not sure where to go here.
My next plan is to create all the buttons as bitmaps in Gimp. Do you know a way of exporting created buttons in Pronto Edit as bitmap files - in other words I would end up with a bitmap of the completed button (button and character)? If not then I need to see if all audio/dvd characters are part of available windings etc
Any further advice would be greatly appreciated. It's a shame because I love the remote - it looks great!
