The precise condition on a completely regular space $X$ for every character on $C\left( X \right)$ to be an evaluation at some point in $X$ is that $X$ be realcompact. Usually, this classical result is obtained by relying heavily on involved (and even nonconstructive) extension arguments. This note provides a direct proof that is accessible to a large audience.
