It is not only in APL we have problems with characters. I saw yesterday an official letter from the HP dealer here.
On the cover of the envelope there are problems with the address "Baldurs vÚlsjóra" "780 Höfn Ý Hornafirði" Should have been "Baldurs vélsjóra" "780 Höfn á Hornafirði" It may not seem much but as far as I am concerned it is very strange that a major computer company can not write correctly the address of a valued customer. They have obviously not converted to Unicode and I am sure they have written the correct text on the screen. I see similar mismatch pretty much every day. Like in my GPS then I tell the machine to go to a place and it looks ok when I choose it but some of the characters look garbled on other screens where it tells me the name of the destination. -- Björn Helgason, Verkfræðingur Fugl&Fiskur ehf, Þerneyjarsundi 23, Hraunborgum Po Box 127,801 Selfoss , t-póst: [email protected] gsm: +3546985532 Landslags og skrúðgarðagerð, gröfuþjónusta http://groups.google.com/group/J-Programming Tæknikunnátta höndlar hið flókna, sköpunargáfa er meistari einfaldleikans góður kennari getur stigið á tær án þess að glansinn fari af skónum /|_ .-----------------------------------. ,' .\ / | Með léttri lund verður | ,--' _,' | Dagurinn í dag | / / | Enn betri en gærdagurinn | ( -. | `-----------------------------------' | ) | (\_ _/) (`-.
