Hello, here are more datails. I use MacOS 10.6.5, I assume that this is valid for any recent Mac. I assume further that this here does not apply to a non-Mac computer.
Enable Japanese Input: - Start System Settings - Under Personal Settings there is a blue flag. Click that - A new Window opens with the Title "Language & Text" - Select the tab input sources - Scroll down to "kotoeri" - Select Kotoeri, then Hiragana (you may select more languages and input methods, but Hiragana is all I need here) see http://redcocoon.org/cab/mysoft.html I assume that other languages have the same issue. Therefore, I would recommend to redo this with other non-latin languages. Entering Japanese text Start the test Program (I attached it again) In the top bar of the screen, next to the clock, you should see a flag (British, USA, German, whatever the default of your Mac is). Click that flag. Click Hiragana. The flag should change to a white-on-black curly symbol あ, the Japanese "a". If your email Program supports utf-8 correctly, you should be able to see it here (now you can't enter any non-japanese text, on particular you can't type the name of the test program in a shell) Select the window Press 'k' (any consonant would do here) An underlined k should appear Press 'a' --> Wrong behavior: underlined k disappears; --> Correct behavior: k turns into か, the japanese syllable 'ka' If you see the k disappear you have reproduced the issue. Displaying japanese stuff In my case the second attached program shows something garbled for the string "日本" (japanese for Japan), although I had used an utf-16 editor and had made sure it's actually saved it as utf-16. Of course the utf-16 coding might get lost during email transport. I delete the garbled stuff with backspace and get the warning "QTextCursor::setPosition: Position '7' out of range" I have used some japanese characters in this mail, (1) because this clarifies things and (2) to let you or Phil see if your computers can handle japanese characters at all. I assume that if you don't see them here correctly there is no point in trying to reproduce the issue. best regards Ullrich Am 17.12.2010 um 17:58 schrieb Hans-Peter Jansen: > On Friday 17 December 2010, 10:11:26 Ullrich Martini wrote: >> Hello, >> this sample also doesn't display japanese.
