In Revolution how can I display text with
foreign character sets? Not Unicode. For example
this text file is ISO-8859-2 (Central European
ISO Latin 2)
<http://www.northshorecomputer.net/pg/etext04/rnpz810.txt>
In Apple TextEdit, I can select "Central
European ISO Latin 2" while open that file and
it displays what appear to be the correct
characters.
Rev's MacToISO and ISOToMac functions, while
useful, seem to fall short of dealing with many,
many text encodings out there. Hopefully I am
overlooking something. I fear I will have to
write an external to do this :-/
From the documentation, it seems that ISOtoMac
handles only 8859-1. Other encodings would surely
be a welcome addition to this function. This
workaround will enable you to show the Polish
text above in a Revolution field:
- set the textfont of the field to Times CE or another CE font
- open the text with Safari (other OS X browsers probably work as well)
- change the encoding in Safari to Latin-2
- select all, copy, paste into field in Revolution
