Hi When I paint a text in my drawing area I get bad characters. I think that it is because I red that text from mysql.
Mysql use collation UTF8_mb4_unicode_ci and gambas use utf8 general. I have this code Dim Rs as result, MyField as string ... ... MyField=Rs!field_name Paint.begin(MyDrawingArea) ... ... Paint.text(MyField) Paint.end I could see that MyField value is 'abc 1" but I get "abc " and two bad characters. I tried without database field MyField="abc 1" Paint.begin(MyDrawingArea) ... ... Paint.text(MyField) Paint.end And it works fine, so I think that all the encoding problems above are caused by text being submitted in one character set and viewed in another. What can I do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
