Re: [Iup-users] IupConfig

  Hi,

  I wrote a test that don't even use IUP, just to test fopen with UTF-8. It
is attached. I found out that it worked using setlocale only in Visual
Studio 2017. It seems to be a new feature. I decide to describe this in the
IUP documentation:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice that IUP, CD and IM libraries use the *fopen* based functions to
read and write files. In Windows *fopen* expects the filename string in the
*ANSI* encoding by default. If your filename, including the path, has
characters that can not be converted to ANSI, *fopen* will fail to open the
file. In Windows we could use *_wfopen* combined with UTF-8, but this is a
Microsoft only function and most of *fopen* usage in these libraries are in
portable modules. *This is an IUP limitation in Windows.*

The simple workaround is to not use special characters in folders or files
name in Windows... Legacy applications will also have the same problem.

Another option is to call:

 setlocale(LC_ALL, ".UTF8");

But it will work for *fopen* only in Visual Studio 2017 or newer Microsoft
compilers (*setlocale* will return NULL on other compilers). *fopen* will
successfully open the file if filename is an UTF-8 string, even with
special characters. So you will be able to set both UTF8MODE and
UTF8MODE_FILE to YES.

If you decide to use this feature, another interesting option is to set the
console code page to UTF-8 executing "chcp 65001" on the command line. This
will allow your *printf* output to be properly displayed when using UTF-8
strings. This feature actually works for all Microsoft compilers in
Windows, and for MingW, even when *setlocale* returns NULL. Notice that
some font packages must be installed for this to fully work for all
characters (for instance Chinese, Japanese and Korean, along with some
symbols too).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Yes, this is all an IUP limitation because its external API do not
support Unicode.

  I also fixed a bug in IupConfig to handle the case where the system
folder has special characters, but they can be converted to ANSI. I was not
doing that conversion. Just committed to the SVN.

Best,
Scuri
