Re: Unicode Support


Hi Rene,

Whenever I start with the KESYS-browser,
I'll come back to all this questions about UTF and stuff.
At the moment we just may say that we don't know much about it :)
Not that important from a tool-makers point of view yet, anyway.

Perhaps Beth can post some more details,
she's got just the same book as I have, but there may be more...

|
| For example, when we implemented the National Strings
| in RosAsm, there was a Chineese version... and a minor
| problem with the viewings for this version. Then, to
| fix the bug, i was in need to _SEE_ something on my
| own screen. So, the Volunteer sent me... his FONT, that,
| once saved in the required OS Folder, enabled me with
| seeing the problem.
|
| Now, with UTF something, would it be 8 or whatever...
| Where are the FONTs, on the occidental Users PCs???
|
| When implementing the Fonts Choice, for RosAsm, i had
| to simply reduce the choice to the Fixed Pitch ones,
| as you may guess,... QUITE FEW FONTS...
|
| Then, there is one another problem with this UTF8 thing.
|
| What with the occidental Chars above 127? There are
| users who want them, would it only be for their Comments.
| How would these ones come out in UTF8? What form?
