Is anyone using LC 4.6 for "really foreign" stacks, like Slavic languages or Greek, in UTF-8?
In my tests of 4.6.1, the Contents box of fields and labels accepts Russian fine, and it is displayed correctly, but Russian in a button caption or tooltip turns into garbage (actually, it looks like it tries to display each byte of the two-byte characters, poor thing). Trying to type Russian in the code window totally bombs for me (the effect is indescribable). I'm new to LC, so I may be missing something crucial here. The phrase in the User Guide about writing your own functions to process strings sounds ominous, and yet they recommend the use of UTF-8, but again speak darkly of "implementing an external" if you wish to use string handling functions (section 6.4.6 on UTF-8). Can one even assign a Cyrillic string to a variable in the code window? I must be doing something wrong--or should I wait for another version of LC? Any tips will be appreciated, Slava _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
