How to cope with charset >128 && <256 in a textbox

Question

In a WPF project I have a OpenFileDialog that gets a filename from filesystem and puts it in a textBox.

Now if I put the phi greek letter with charmpa in a filename

and create this

the textbox that receives the filename doesn't display the phi greek letter

and displays it with blank chars.

I don´t know what is your problem. I've tried to show that string (`ØØØØ.prg`) in a wpf textbox and it shows just right... — Pikoh, May 04 '16 at 08:45
no repro. btw which font do you use in TextBox? Arial or some custom? — ASh, May 04 '16 at 08:47
That was the problem thanx. I put Arial and that worked. I might want to put it as a solution. — Patrick, May 04 '16 at 08:53

dialog on screenshot shows it uses Arial font. TextBox probably uses some other font which cannot display 216 char.
