I have written a WPF user control that uses Tahoma as a font to display unicode strings, which works fine. However, I have noticed that some eastern asian characters are actually missing in Tahoma, i.e. this font does not support all common Unicode characters. However, when I display a string that contains some east asian letters, that I suppose are missing in Tahoma.ttf, the character is displayed correctly anyway, instead of a black rectangle that I expected to get for the missing unicode character. So out of curiosity: is there any fallback mechanism, i.e. does Windows 7 or C# WPF replace the missing characters from a fallback font? Can anybody please explain how exactly this is working, and which font is actually used as a allback?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
