I have a big project coming up which involves multiple , 14 i guess, languages including greek, finnish and so on . All of these contain multiple special characters.Your problems aren't with XML, but with Director and the languages you are using.
I want to put all the text in XML. Is there anybody who has encountered any kind of problems along this line.
Finnish should be no problem, at least on Windows, because the character set is part of the standard ANSI character set.
Director basically, as far as I can determine, uses only code page 1252 on Windows, the code page for Latin 1, defined by the ISO 8859.1 standard, which is essentially the same as ANSI.
Greek, defined by ISO 8859.7, uses code page 1253. If your font is a true Greek font, and you are running on a Greek system, you should see everything in Greek. However, if you're running on another system, you will probably see garbage characters, because Director is matching the high ANSI characters with the glyphs in the font's 1252 area, where it might have ANSI characters.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
