World: r4wp

uh, in above line, in the word "svete", the first "e" has hook above 
it, like in the original HelloWorld you used for czech ...

By "hook" he means the "caron" diacritic, also known as "hacek", 
"wedge", "inverted circumflex" or "inverted hat".

sent new file to Doc. Doc - btw - the last sentence (which prints 
correctly), means something like "Way too much yellow horse groaned 
devilish odes" :-) That sentece is known in our language to test 
all possible special chars in Czech language and still have some 
meaning ...

Ladislav - thanks for corrections ...

Strange observation - if I add another space between two words of 
"Vitej svete", it prints correctly in the console ...

Curious, if you are able to reproduce it. And also - third char in 
Greek HelloWorld is still not resolved ...

That sentece is known in our language to test all possible special 
chars in Czech language
 - actually, it does not contain e.g. the acute "i", does it?

aha, it does, sorry

I never investigated it, it was just suggested to me, and the sentence 
sounds pretty weird, so I remembered it :-)

How about the acute "o" is it present?

Pekr: thanks will look at it after lunch.

I can reproduce the "Vitej sv" issue, working on it...

cool what one additional space may cause :-) It looks like some "buffer" 
overlap in final output, or something like that :-)

Pekr: fixed.

I've fixed the "broken World". :-)

I haven't received your "special" sentence though.

third char in Greek HelloWorld is still not resolved ...
 What do you get instead of the "i"?

I have opened a piratepad page for copy/pasting Unicode strings: 
http://piratepad.net/782CD4w2Ni

Tested "Hallå Världen!" on Win 7 (UTF-8) and it works. Saving the 
file as Notepads  "Unicode" doesn't work, but I understand "Unicode" 
isn't supposed to be UTF.

I guess that "Unicode" mode of Notepad is UTF-16. Red accepts only 
UTF-8 input scripts.

You need to change the encoding selector when saving with Notepad 
to UTF-8.

Yes, I testad with UTF-8 encoded file

doc - in the greek case I get just a square ...

tested

the square char can be seen on the screenshot I posted - http://www.xidys.com/pekr/red/red-unicode-bug.jpg

Pekr: see my piratepad page.

You can just copy/past your console output there.

Can you paste me your DOS output of the hello script I've provided 
there?

Not yet ... deleting all the repository. I deleted hello.red, and 
no way I can get tortoisegit to get it sync - it just keeps telling 
me I am uptodate

Just copy/paste the code from piratepad to %hello.red

When copying back to piratepad, it looks ok, but I will make a screenshot 
...

Maybe it is a font problem with the console then?

http://xidys.com/pekr/red/red-unicode-bugs.jpg

as you can see in my output, Chinese is not there, and third greek 
char is not there too ... but when copying from the console and pasting 
into Notepad, it shows the chars ...

Ah, the squares were for Chinese characters...that's normal, Consolas 
cannot display CJK on western Windows.

yes, chinese, plus one greek char ...

I know about the chinese, you talked about it here, but the third 
greek char?

Strange, that character displays fine on my Windows 7...

See: http://static.red-lang.org/hello_unicode.png

My Windows version is 6.1.7600 while yours is 6.0.6002. That might 
explain the differences.

I am still on Vista, in 2 months on Windows 8 - another adventure 
:-)

Are you sure you're not using Lucida? When I switch to Lucida, I 
get that 3rd greek character issue.

Vista, then Win8...you're not skipping the right Windows versions. 
;-)

I know, but I need new NTB after almost 6 years - at least core i5, 
8GB RAM, SSD disk :-)

yes, my font is Lucida Console. There is only one other option - 
raster ... I can't select any other font in that dialog ...

If you want you can manually install Consolas font as explained here: 
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/UsingConsolasAsTheWindowsConsoleFont.aspx

OK, but the other reported things helped to find some bugs? All was 
it all just a font issue?

No, there were bugs and that last one is a font issue.

Downloaded Console2, which allows to have tabs, and allows me to 
change fonts, so I just choosed Consolas and the output is correct 
...

Happy to report that Unicode on Linux with an all-UTF8 setup works 
just fine for me.
