The default character set used in a character's word balloon is defined in the Microsoft Agent Character Editor. You can change it with IAgentBalloon::SetFontCharSet. However, the user can override the character set setting for all characters using the Microsoft Agent property sheet. This property applies only to your client application's use of the character; the setting does not affect other clients of the character or other characters of your client application.
