Yes, Osaka displays nicely.

If only I could get the Appearance Manager, or some area of the OS X system,
to tell me which font to use, it would be more right - with different
languages in mind, of course.

I can use GetThemeFont, which tells me to use 'Lucida Grande', but it does
that too, even if I set the hole Mac installation to run with Japanese
language - or any other language I choose.

So, I will need to find out why GetThemeFont keeps telling me to use 'Lucida
Grande' for a language setup, in which characters are not supported. Maybe I
just need a different API call for that.

Any ideas?

Thanks, and best regards,
