fudi is "just" ascii with a ; as the end. If you remove the ";", then you only have ascii...
actually it is UTF-8.which also explains the problem with peter's umlauts, because the [string( message expects unicode points and not UTF-8 bytes.
(see wikipedia for the gory details) e.g. the german umlaut "ä" is assigned the unicode point '228'. so [text2d] expects a message like [string 228( to render the letter. however in UTF-8, "ä" is encoded as two bytes '195 164'.since [fudiformat] just outputs bytes, you will get a message [string 195 164(, which will render as "ä" (unicode points 195 and 164).
at the PdCon09 in [string 83 227 111 32 80 97 117 108 111(, me an maira wrote a small vanilla library to convert between UTF-8 and unicodepoints.
it's available on deken as "unicode".

I can't see any conversion back from fudi. best, Peter * cyrille henry via Pd-list <[email protected]> [2026-01-28 11:40]:hello,This patch use fudiformat to convert the text to ascii and various list object to concatenate all line and clean the ; and the end of the lines.It is then rendered with the string message that allows the linefeeds. cheers C Le 28/01/2026 à 11:21, Peter P. a écrit :Hi, this topic seems to come up frequently [1]and I am looking for a vanilla solution of rendering multiline text froma textfile in Gem's [text2d] object. I can output multiple lines but text2d expects all text to be prefixed with either "text" or as list. Both seem unable to pass on linefeeds correctly, at least in my minimal working example (attached). Anything I can try next?
