Accented letters in browse window
Hi all I need a quick heads-up on getting accented letters (acute, grave, circumflex, umlaut) etc to appear properly in a browse window. I have pasted some text (from a web page) into a field in a table in a browse window and it is not appearing properly. Do I need to set one or more of (i) code page, (ii) font, (iii) script ? I have tried several options without success ...

Re: Accented letters in browse window VFP9)
Paul Tx for the reply. I should have mentioned that I'm using VFP9 (hence the edited subject) I'm using FF and am viewing a page with the French word Cote (o circumflex). It displays correctly in the browser with any of the following (chosen from View...Character encoding) - Western (ISO-8859-1), Western (ISO-8859-15), English (US-ASCII), Western (Windows 1252). What I can't do is copy and paste this word into a field in the browse window and have it display correctly.

I have tried several options without success ... Are these characters available in your Windows ANSI codepage? I guess you're using Windows 1252 (Western European). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252 In this case yes - o circumflex is ACSII 244 in that table. When pasting text from a Unicode application (like a browser) Windows will try to convert the Unicode characters using the current ANSI codepage. If your codepage does not support a particular character it will be converted into something else. e.g. 'a' with an umlaut will be converted into a plain 'a'. So should I set the code page for the table to Windows 1252 (perhaps before pasting the test) ?

I've been having fun with codepages recently! On a related note I found this tool today: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/apploc.mspx The AppLocale utility allows users to run a legacy application without changing to the code-page/system locale needed by that particular application. AppLocale emulates the code-page required by that legacy application without changing the machine's system locale. Very handy. When testing different languages here and I needed to reboot each time I made a change. VirtualPC helped but I still needed to reboot the virtual machine. -- Paul ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
