The "terminal" font in Notepad is displayed one way, and in TextPad another.
While in NotePad the font has our diacritics (croatian), in TextPad it is Greek letters.
Does anyone have an idea where this can be adjusted?

Re: Font "Terminal" in TextPad 7
The Terminal font displays characters in what's called the DOS or OEM code page. This varies, depending on the installed language version of Windows.
TextPad 7 uses a specific Windows code page to interpret the 256 possible characters with the available values of 0 to 255. By default, it will use the ANSI code page which is mapped to the default code page for the language version of Windows it is running on. To see DOS characters, you must select the DOS encoding on the Open File dialog box. Alternatively, you can make the DOS code page the default for the Document Class that your files belong to.
TextPad 8 and 9 do not have this 256 character restriction, but you must still specify the DOS code page when opening such a file, as there is no way to guess that the numeric values of characters stored in the file should be interpreted that way, unless you save it with the UTF-8 encoding.

You can also perfectly run TextPad 8 on Windows 7.
(I write this because I've encountered people before which think that versions of different softwares must match, such as PHP 8 with MySQL 8.)

Re: Font "Terminal" in TextPad 7
I restored the backed up Windows 7, and now everything is OK.
