that is one part I was looking for. thank you. are there also objects for handling conversions between character encodings? Or, an object to convert between utf8 or UCS-2 and the unicode char code numbers that GEM takes? Is there a default character encoding for PD messages? I assume it is LATIN1 because I have seen umlauts in comments before(I think). It doesn't look like I can make comments in UTF8 encoded chars. I have my char problems solved right now, but now as I discover more about the difficulties of character encodings and the treachery that ASCII has caused....I am just curious. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
