Can you set the textfont of the field itself, rather than in the htmltext? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad Borch Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 1:28 PM To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Subject: Unicode frustration
Ok, I'm befuddled. I'm not quite sure how Revolution handles unicode. I have a field that lists all the fonts in my system. The Rev documentation says: "Revolution automatically sets the textFont of double-byte characters to the appropriate Unicode font." So if I set the htmltext of a field like so: <font face="Bitstream Vera" lang="en-UC">αβγδε ελλενικα</font> The first string of Greek characters is rendered as Greek, but the second is rendered as Asian characters (I don't know which). Getting the html text of the field after setting it to the above string yields this: <p><font face="Bitstream Vera" lang="en-UC">αβγδε 딃묃묃딃봃뤃먃</font></p> If I take out the space in the text I originally pasted, it renders the entities correctly: <p><font face="Bitstream Vera" lang="en-UC">αβγδεελλενικα</font></p> So there's some conversion going on inside Revolution to standardize the html, but it looks like there's a bug in the process somewhere. If I type or paste in Greek unicode characters, the htmltext gets updated to reflect the text: paste in "αβγδε ελλενικα" and get the htmltext, the font tag gets updated to include "lang="el"" (doesn't matter what face it is, I guess it just uses whatever is the default Unicode font. What's happening here? How can I force Rev to use the Unicode text I want it to use? _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
