accents in foreign languages whith linux

 [1/7] from: luc:spirlet:skynet:be at: 20-Dec-2004 17:02


Hello Carlos, What's news? It's very difficult to communicate because all characters with accents comes in hex on my version of linux. (I must dehex them with rebol.) I've reset my webpage on netfirms http://orbitaterra.netfirms.com/rebol1.htm Can you say to me if all characters in the script are OK for your? If not, the script will not be comprehensive or the reader will must use dehex also. The french forum on rebolfrance has not gived a solution with this problem about linux. They say that it is a problem from linux. It's all. One person has saied that the script must be saved in iso-8859-15. No effect. Is there an other list or forum where we can find more about this problem? Thanks a lot. Luc Spirlet

Re: accents in foreign language whith linux


Hello Carlos, I've seen that if we use the object area with fixed-length, all is OK except circumflex, diaeresis and probably tilde. Consider this code f1: area 400x30 with [ color: 240.240.240 font: [name: font-fixed] ] With this object, all is ok except circumflex and diaeresis: a grave is correct u grave is correct e cute is correct e grave is correct, c cedille is correct. For the french, it's good, except :-)) ... If I use area without attributes, all is wrong. I get incomprehensible characters in my language I hope this is a good indication to determine the origin of problem. Since the first step in rebollist, I know that but I don't see it. I've really the head in a side and the spirit in an other. Apologize. I 'll try do not iterate on it. Luc Spirlet

Re: accents in foreign languages whith linux


Hi monsieur Spirlet :) I can read clearly your script and the best of all: it works for me !! I'll introduce some lines to the code so I can have more accented characters we use in Portuguese: =E1, =E9, =ED, =F3, =FA, =E0, =C1, =C9, =CD, =D3, =DA, =C0, =C3, =E3, =D5, =F5 (hope you can read them in here as I had typed them not in hexa ) I had terrible feelings about the use o /View under Linux till you came with this script. I am glad I'll be writting more things using /View here at my office thanks for your "Christmas gift" :)))) By other hand I am sorry but I know no other forums that could help us with this matter but I am pretty sure this is not Linux problem as everybody says otherwise I would have the same trouble with other programs each time I had to install new applications to use at my Linux box and that's not what happens. Every new app works fine with no need to change a single font. How come only REBOL/View has this trouble? Au revoir Carlos Em Mon, 20 Dec 2004 17:02:49 +0100, Spirlet disse o seguinte:

They all have a huge load of dependencies (especially on Mandrake), while REBOL doesn't. So, if the guys that compile Mandrake (for e.g.) decide to tweak the font handling a bit for some reason, and this breaks REBOL, it won't mean this breaks the other apps too because they are going to be recompiled to account for that, and because 99% of them do not use X directly but rely on other libraries (QT and GTK are the most common example).

So REBOL is compiled taking only X in count, ok? But What version o X? How can I tell what version my Debian uses? I need to investigate how other apps dependents on GTK or QT are working as well. I need to be sure this is either a Linux trouble or a REBOL for Linux trouble. One thing I noticed when tryed to install REBOL/View 1.2.47.4.2 was that /View complaint about the fact that libXaw.so.6 was not previously installed so I had to make a copy of libXaw.so.7 and rename it to fit REBOL necessity.

That's the Athena Widgets library, and it's used for the security requesters. I don't think it has anything to do with fonts, but I might be wrong.

Thanks a lot for the feedback but this script is not THE solution. It's just in waiting. The remarks from Gabriele are good. I continue to search. I've also no problems with other apps. We are in a similar situation. at=E9 =E0 pr=F3xima Luc Carlos Lorenz wrote:
