Dear Dave,
It is not a problem of fonts:
- Some VB controls support UCS-2 unicode and others do not.
- PostgreSQL odbc driver does not support UCS-2 yet.
UCS-2 has been added to the odbc to do list.
http://developer.postgresql.org/todo.php * Unicode(UCS-2) support
So, even if odbc supported UCS-2 Unicode, I am not sure
pgAdmin2 would be able to display Hebrew data because of VB limitations.
The only really UCS-2 compatible $W product seems to be Access2K.
A solution would be to use Windows Hebrew encoding server-side in PotsgreSQL.
I don't know if is workable.
Regards,
Jean-Michel
