trouble displaying CJK with plucker
Hello. I have tried to displaying CJK characters on plucker but it is not really working. I am using the latest CVS. The CJK support is provided by CJKOS 4.3. Only some characters are displayed correctly, others appeared broken. It is strange that there is a localized plucker version for zn_CH, but that one doesn't work either. I am not sure if it is a convertor (plucker-build) problem or a problem with the viewer. Zailong __ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo! Personals. http://personals.yahoo.com

Support for multibyte chars is not included in the main version. Try the version in the i18n branch. As I have said before, any changes necessary to support multibyte chars is something that has to be added by someone that has a device using such chars. I will not merge the i18n branch with the main trunk until the support is more or less complete... /Mike

Have done a preliminary assessment, and will try to get something out in the future. Check on the plkr.org site in about 4 weeks from now.

While we're at it, I got the following yesterday: > A PalmOS file is also a valid Macintosh File so it certainly has a > four-letter MacOS File Type Code. Does anyone know the truth of this? What happens if you put a Plucker DB on a Mac? What is the Type code, on the Mac? Bill
viewer/TRG_SDK/Trg.h doesn't compile
I just downloaded the latest autocf11.zip from the TRG site, to build the viewer with. I find that the Trg.h header file contains some escaped newlines that gcc doesn't like. I fixed it by removing the escaped newlines from the header file. I'm using the latest version of prc-tools (2.1 pre 3, or 2.0.92) from sourceforge.net. Bill

Re: trouble displaying CJK with plucker
Zailong, I'm working on getting some information into the DB that will allow some future version of the viewer to know something about the character sets of the document. Bill
Re: Color text,anchor,hr,table,bi-tone-image support
Robert, I'd like to keep the document format document up-to-date. What's the function code you are using for forecolor_start, and what are its arguments? I'll update the doc, marking it as experimental until we commit it. I could download the zip file and look, but I thought it would be faster just to ask. Bill
Re: trouble displaying CJK with plucker
Thanks for letting me know. I checked out the i18n branch from CVS and it works just fine for me except the speed is much slower than iSilo or CSporRun. I use CJKOS(a program that adds CJK support to English version of PalmOS) to read CJK on a Visor Edge running OS 3.52H. If there will be any native support in plucker, there must be a need to load up a huge (well, shouldn't be much more than ~1.5M to include all 10x10 and 12x12 fonts) font database.

RE: macintosh?
It'll use whatever the PC Exchange / Internet Control Panel has set for that file extension. I'd tell you the default, but don't sync with my Mac... sorry. You should be able to get to it, if memory serves, by opening the Internet Control Panel and choosing Edit -> User Mode; change it to administration and go to the new tab (all the way to the right). Look for a File Types section. -- -aardvarko http://aardvarko.com webmaster at aardvarko dot com > -Original Message- > From: Bill Janssen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2001 15:34 > To: Plucker Development List > Subject: Re: macintosh? > > > While we're at it, I got the following yesterday: > > > A PalmOS file is also a valid Macintosh File so it certainly has a > > four-letter MacOS File Type Code. > > Does anyone know the truth of this?

Microsoft Word to Plucker convertor, 1.0
I have sucessfully hacked together an MSWord to Plucker conversion script last night, and would like to slap it up on the website for people to use. There's a slight glitch, however.. it's going to have to behave differently than the PDF-to-Plucker one does now, in that most people have Word documents that are not located at remote URLs which are publically accessible (for the server to grab it). This means implementing a public "File Upload" facility to send the doc to the server for conversion. Being an advocate of privacy and anonymity, I don't want to have to write any files to disk. I can do this, but it's harder to "prove" that the files weren't written to disk during the conversion (they're held in a scalar in memory, as is the output .pdb file until it's sent to the user). Any ideas on how I should go about this? Or should I just dump the idea and move onto other things? The output from Word to Plucker is fairly impressive. Much more impressive than Abiword's output or even the Microsoft native "Save As HTML" output. Ideas? Comments? /d

Re: Microsoft Word to Plucker convertor, 1.0
Sounds cool! What I've been doing for Word to plucker conversion is wvHtml which converts Word docs to html and then plucking them. (I have a before-pluck script that converts a list of doc files and writes a home.html and auto-plucks it.) Very useful for product specs for my current projects. Chris Christopher R.
