I would like to apologize for the tone of my post about the subscriber list earlier this week.
No problem, I think many of us have had that happen and we know it's frustrating.
1. I can't seem to set the textFont of fields to unicode. I doesn't work with the Text formatting section of the inspector palette and set the textFont of fld "xyz" to "Arial,Unicode" doesn't do it either. I upgraded from runRev 2.8 to liveCode 5.5 in one shot, so I obviously missed a lot of changes/improvements.
Yes, it's all changed (for the better.) The complete explanation is in the release notes, which are found in the Help menu. Do a search in the PDF for "unicode" to see all the changes. The short version is:
"Putting unicode text into a field can now only be done by setting the unicodeText property of the field (or a chunk of the field); using one of the content format properties such as rtfText, styledText or htmlText; or by a user action which causes unicode text to be entered into the field such as typing with a unicode IME.
"The textFont property will no longer contain any ‘language’ tag, and setting the textFont of a chunk to one containing such a tag will result in the tag being stripped and ignored."
The other problem involves LiveCode images showing up as the icons in my buttons.

single image ID in every single Livecode stack and found 10 images with ID's between 1012 and 1291. Infortunately 3 of them (1012, 1024, 1105) are the same as 3 of my images that are used as icons for buttons that are on literally every single screen of every single application I have ever made! Two of the conflicting images are in two of the revOnline sub- stacks, so I closed and removed from memory the revOnline stack and that was that - 2/3 of the problem solved. The third one is a little bit tricky, as it is the LiveCode splashScreen image on card "Main" of stack "Home!" (image id 1105) This stack cannot be closed.
The most permanent and portable solution is to change the IDs of your images. If you only have one referenced instance of each per stack, it shouldn't be too hard to change them. You'd see the problem the first time you open each of your stacks and you can update them over time as you notice it.
I had to do this once, and I used LiveCode's Find and Replace dialog in the Edit menu. Enter the ID you want to change into the Find field. Turn off all the selectors except for "All Other" and do the search. Once all the instances are found, remove any matches that don't apply and then enter the replacement ID and click Replace All.
