The default value for the character set of a character's word balloon is set in the Microsoft Agent Character Editor. In addition, the user can override the character-set settings for all characters in the Microsoft Agent property sheet.

NoteIf you are using a character that you did not compile, check the FontName and CharSet properties for the character to determine whether they are appropriate for your locale. You may need to set these values before using the Speak method to ensure appropriate text display within the word balloon.
