Hello again, I am sorry for not placing the code in the <pre></pre> tags, so the following are the code again in tags Smile | :) first tag section are the C code again. Second tag section are the VB code again.

</pre>

So my logic is that VB is basically an exe application that just contains a textbox on a form. It then calls "CodeProjectDrawText()" function which is written in C code (an C dll) to draw Chinese character on the VB form. So the key is that my TextOut() api in C code is actually drawing the Chinese character out. Just a note, please don't get confused with the TextOut() api being just ASCII, it is really unicode TextOutW(). In my C project settings, the unicode flag is already set, so during TextOut() it is actually calling the TextOutW() instead of just TextOut().

I have tried by calling the same TextOutW()function in VB (writting this whole small app in VB instead of C)and it works fine, but because this drawing feature has to be in C code, I can't do this in VB Frown | :(

Thank you very much Iain for your suggestions, Your suggestions for "m_hFont is not inialised" makes sense, so I changed the order of the code just a little by moving the "_tcscpy(m_LogFont.lfFaceName, lpszFontName);" after "hFont = CreateFontLocal();" call... but my result is still the same.

I actually stepped through the code couple time already Smile | :) I monitored all the variables such as "lpszMultiByteText", "lpszFontName" and so on... all seems to be correct right before the TextOut()api. Well at least in memory they seem to be correct. When I watched the 2 variables in memory stack they all appear to be correct. I mean I see my selected font name, Chinese text that I entered. But after TextOut() I see other wrong Chinese character or garbage being displayed. So somewhere fonts or code page is still not sinked up. Anyway thanks for all the good imput guys!
