Well - I'm working with a .cld document (with UTF encoding). There are some
functions which typeset texts. And there is also a part which creates a .scr
file.
.Scr files are sequences of AutoCAD commands - their contents are passed
directly to AutoCAD command prompt.
When AutoCAD is creating a text entity, it reads the input stream (in our case: the .scr file)
BYTE-PER-BYTE. When bytes represent a text to be drawn, unknown bytes (= bytes that don't have any
graphical representation in AutoCAD font file ("shape" file in AutoCAD's terminology))
are shown as "?".
Of course, valid representation of language-specific-characters (like "čřž..." in Czech)
requires an appropriate .shx (= "shape compiled") file.
Anyway, when AutoCAD is to write "č", it requires just ONE BYTE to be passed to it; so
2-byte UTF representation gives bad result (= "??").
So back to the origin, when I call the .cld's function that writes a command to
the .scr file, I need to convert a UTF string back to CP 1250.
Would it be possible to provide this?
NB: There are two examples of .scr files; CP1250.scr works well in AutoCAD, the latter draws
"????ST" instead of "ČÁST".
Kind reagrds,
Lukas
