Thanks for keeping me honest! Devin Signe, You can still do it without one of these methods. Let's take your case as an example. Say you have a field "poundfield" that contains your text with # for each n-umlaut. Now create another field, say field "result", and set its textFont to a unicode font as in #1 of my first post, below. Now create a button with the following script: on mouseUp get fld "poundfld" replace "#" with "nÃà" in it set the unicodeText of fld "result" to uniencode(it,"UTF8") end mouseUp Barring any automatic Mac to PC character substitutions (by Rev or by your mail client,) this should result in the #'s in your poundfield being replaced by the character you want. If it doesn't work as posted here, the three characters in the 'with' part of the replace statement are ASCII-110 ASCII-204 ASCII-136. So you could generate them reliably by doing this: on mouseUp get fld "poundfld" put numToChar(110) & numToChar(204) & numToChar(136) into tChars replace "#" with tChars in it set the unicodeText of fld "result" to uniencode(it,"UTF8") end mouseUp Devin Asay Humanities Technology and Research Support Center Brigham Young University ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re-2: Umlaut - set the unicodetext of field 1 to numtochar(68) & numtochar(1)
Hello to the multilingual crowd hoping for runrev becoming 100 % unicode compliant. Yesterday I downloaded the new java netbeans IDE of sun and enjoyed it to be 100% unicode - the same VB.Net Express Edition I hope to enjoy this in runrev too in the near future. We can not type the letter you wish directly in a runrev field, but we can use a wrapper (I hope this might help in the case you need it): set the unicodetext of field 1 to numtochar(68) & numtochar(1) This puts the unicode letter into the field. use the following script to replace ´n to n with akut put the unicodetext of field 1 into zeile -- for getting the values: --put chartonum(char 1 of the unicodetext of field 1) --put chartonum(char 1 of the unicodetext of field 1) -- these are the two byte of letter 1 of the field 1 replace (numtochar(180) & numtochar(0) & numtochar(110) & numtochar(0)) with numtochar(68) & numtochar(1) in zeile set the unicodetext of field 1 to zeile This puts n into field 1 (just tested) 1. runrev seems not to be able to display letters and unicode diacritics (=2byte letter and 2 byte combining diacritical letter) together but can handle combined letters (2bytes) in the unicode standard with unicode fonts. I opened charmap.exe on win, searched for n (U-0144: Kleiner lateinischer Buchstabe N mit Akut) and copied it. Now it is important: If I copy this direct into runrev it fails. But if I copy it in notepad and from notepad into a field in runrev it is correct. I do not know why. The same is the case if I copy arabic, syriac etc. text from a webpage: After copiing it into notepad I can copy anything into a runrev field but not directly. Why? 2. You can create any letter in the unicode standard if you know the low byte and the high byte it exists of: n with akut for example is in the unicodestandard u-0144 hex open your calc.exe in extended view, set to hex and put 44, change to decimal view and you will find 68, do the same with 01 which of course will be 01. 44 hex = 68 dezimal 01 hex = 01 dezimal this means: set the unicodetext of field 1 to numtochar(68) & numtochar(1) creates this letter. Hebrew Aleph is u-05d0 05 hex = 05 dec c0 hex = 208 dec set the unicodetext of field 1 to numtochar(208) & numtochar(5)& numtochar(209) & numtochar(5) creates aleph and beth (but wrongly displays beth aleph according to the hebrew rtl direction).

Re: Umlaut--Success!
Thanks Devin, I took the data from your file and did a few tests. Eventually, it turned out that the following works: on mouseUp put "efff 00e6 3080" into myChars replace space with empty in myChars put binaryEncode("h*",myChars) into myBin set the unicodetext of fld 1 to myBin --set the textFont of char 1 to -1 of fld 1 to "Lucida Grande,unicode" end mouseUp You need a stack with one field and one button to run this script. Set the script of the button to the above. My observations: - this doesn't work without the signature efff - setting the font of the characters afterwards is not possible - it works with both Verdana and Lucida Grande, but you really have to set the textFont of the field in advance Additional remarks: - above script needs adjustment for Intel machines (both Mac and PC) - my earlier statement saying that it was not possible is wrong.

Ouch! That survived v2.8? Any word on when that'll be addressed? Oh, I'm in for a tough conversation with some customers Richard, I don't think the 2.8/2.9 fixes even addressed the unicode bugs, which are probably shortcomings in the engine that will need to be addressed as a whole. I would be surprised if that issue were even addressed before the next major Rev version. But in the meantime, you can get right to left languages to mostly behave as long as you don't need to support extensive user input. If you only need to support *display* of right to left langs you can do it pretty reliably. In that case you're usually better off to create the text outside of Rev, save as unicode--utf-8 seems to be pretty reliable--and read it into a field. I covered many of the basic unicode issues in my Revcon talk last summer.

I need to have the letter n with umlaut (tréma) in a text fld set to an ordinary textfont (verdana). So far I have used the imagesource, but I would like to know if there is a font (among those always present on both Mac and Windows) which will accomplish the same. You *can* do this in Rev. Here's how I did it in OS X (I'm using rev 2.8 in OSX 10.4.8): 1. Create a field and set its textfont to a unicode font: set the textFont of fld "unistuff" to "Verdana,unicode" 2. Enable the Unicode Hex Input method in the International system prefs under the input tab. This will cause the Unicode Hex Input method to appear in the input menu (the one with the little flags on the right side of the menubar.) 3. Position the insert cursor in the field, choose Unicode Hex Input from the input menu, then type : n (then, holding alt/option key down) 0308 the n with umlaut should appear. Sorry, don't know how to do this via direct input in Windows. However, the following should work on either OS: 1. Create a UTF-8 encoded text file that includes the desired character. I used BBedit, making sure I chose a font that supported unicode (Tahoma or Lucida Grande should work) and that the document encoding was set to UTF-8, then created the n-umlaut character just as I described in #3 above. 2. Save the file to disk. 3. Read it in to your rev fld using the uniencode() function. I've created a stack that shows how to do this. go stack url "http://revolution.byu.edu/unicode/testUnicode.rev"; You may also want to download the utf-8 file from http:// revolution.byu.edu/unicode/textUni.ut8. This is the file that the sample stack reads from.

Hi Mark, you are right - I am wrong. In a runrev textfield it is not possible to combine the characters you were talking about as you can in notepad on win too.

Perhaps it would the best for runrev they would rework the textfield unicode functions and starting also removing the righttoleft bugs in the textfields for arabic,syriac and hebrew.

Re: Umlaut
Franz, I think the problem here is that the particular character/ diacritic that we want (n + trema) does not seem to occur as a 'precomposed' character (unlike n + tilde) - and although it can be represented in unicode as a combination of the character followed by the code for the trema, the text rendering engine in Revolution seems to be unable to deal with such combinations. Mark is obviously right that we can create the right code for what we want and write it to a file that some other (more unicode-friendly) application can display correctly, but it seems that we can't display it simply in Revolution. One solution might be to take a snapshot of it in another app, (in the right font and size, of course) and then use the resulting image data in Revolution. A kludge, for sure, but should work.

Re: Umlaut
Hi Mark and Signe Marie, The ability to display combined unicode characters depends on the text engine used by the software. Revolution's text engine is much oder than the invention of combining diaresis. There is a slight possibility that I am wrong, but I don't think that Revolution is able to display combining diaresis in text fields. It is still possible to convert a simple text containing "n¨" to correct unicode. Just get the unicodeText from the field and replace all unicode characters representing "n¨" with the binary form of the hex value 006ecc88 before writing the data to a file. Looking for a solution, I found a nice set of fonts here: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php? site_id=nrsi&item_id=CharisSIL_download#277fc10b but guess what: no n-umlaut. Signe Marie, have you thought of creating a special font file with just the characters you need? This shouldn't be too difficult.

Umlaut on a consonant letter
Hello, I'm going to develop a language learning course in the Indian dialect Boruca (used in Costa Rica). In their written language they use an umlaut on top of the letter n. Any clues to how to generate this letter either in Word or in Revolution?
