Default How to select a font with a strange name?

I'm trying to use a font, the name of which is
EPSON kyoukashoM
but the problem is that "kyoukasho" is written in japanese
and that's not enterable in the editor. How can i specify
the name of the font then?

Alternatively - how can i choose ANY font, the name of
which starts with, let's say, "EPSO"?

P.S.
Sorry for not crossposting. My mistake...

Konrad,
All the Korean, Chinese and Japanese fonts that I use have a name in
English.
What name is shown for the font in your Fonts folder ?
Or in the Excel font combobox ?
A quick Google gives some entries for "EPSON kyokasho". Does that work ?

Konrad,
How does it appear in a Excel's font list ?
Are you using a Japanese system ?
What does it show if you use Character map ?

The file name or name that appears in the fonts folder is somewhat
irrelevant, as the name that you actually use as the font name is contained
within the file.

Well, the name is as i mentioned "EPSON kyoukashoM" but
the kyoukasho-part is written in kanji. That's what shows in
the directory with all the fonts. I can't change that name,
it appears...

Konrad,
Character map="%SystemRoot%\System32\charmap.exe"

I've never found a way to type non-ASCII text in the editor.
However, if the font name must be specified in the Japanese characters, you
can use ChrW and concatenate the string
Range("A1").Font.Name="EPSON " & ChrW(2052) & ChrW(2601)...whatever

Maybe that will work.

Well, the name in the Excel's font list does contain kanjis
(as in - the real japanese chars, not only the yomi for them).
I'm on a swedish system with IME and support for JCK
activated. So, the way i understood , my computer can "see"
the 16-bit characters but the VBA-editor in Excel can't
use it...

What is Character map?

This might actually be a good idea. Way out of what one should
have to cope with but workable. I'll try that right away. Thanks!
