Terminal output depends on used GTs. GTTRM and GTSLN supports utf8 mode but GTCRS does not and it's caused by curses internals not Harbour code and I doubt that we will ever add support for unicode mode to this GT. GTs which do not use escape control codes to detect terminal settings like GTCGI or GTSTD cannot detect utf8 terminal mode though we can add some hardcoded solutions, i.e. set UTF8 output depending on LANG envvar but it can help in some programs but create problems for others so it's also not ideal solution. For UTF-8 translation in some procedures like filename translation or GTSTD/GTCGI we can introduce pseudo codepage "UTF8" though probably the best way is to remove current lang and codepage libraries and reimplement them from scratch to work well with mulitbyte character sets, translations between languages and eliminate repeated msg* modules for the same country but with different encoding. BTW the Alexandr's method used to inform QT about string encoding in HVM is very good and simple solution though later we can eliminate using Unicode base API i.e. hb_parc_utf8(). Now I suggest to use it. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
