It works for me in Windows XP with SVN 31926. I can set 'x',
'X' and that's what I see. <br>

Possible, but it may have been fixed since <font

That doesn't work with GTK2 under Linux though. :-(<br>

Hm, on my system 158 results in a "z" with some tilde or accent.<br>
<br>
But that is probably the correct behaviour.<br>
<br>
For some reason the PassWordchar field accepts an ansi char, rather
than a utf8 char. So what you will see depends on the codepage of
the system on which your app is run. Even if it displays fine on
your PC, if you ship the app, other people will see other chars.<br>
<br>
How or why it becomes an * I do not know...<br>
