[Mono-dev] Character encoding issues on Linux

Hi, We've got an application running on Mono on Linux. For the most part it runs very well; however every so often we get an exception: CodePage 1256 not supported The code page number varies depending on the encoding present in the file. From the MS page here

Re: [Mono-dev] Character encoding issues on Linux

As far as I know, Mono depends on libiconv (as either a standalone package or built into glibc - which is the case on Linux systems afaik) for charset conversion. The charset names used by libiconv however, may be named differently - so I'm sure Mono has a table to try and do the proper mapping

Re: [Mono-dev] Character encoding issues on Linux

Hello, As far as I know, Mono depends on libiconv (as either a standalone package or built into glibc - which is the case on Linux systems afaik) for charset conversion. Mono only uses iconv for filename mapping, for all other we use our own character set conversion code (see class/I18N).

Hi Martin, I think that 1256 is a Windows Arabic codepage. Thanks for the info. Hmm, yes it looks so. I also get errors that CodePage 932 is not supported. I understand that this is a Chinese codepage. It must not happen. I have been living with codepage 932 which is my default Japanese

Hi Atushi, It must not happen. I have been living with codepage 932 which is my default Japanese encoding ;-) One possibility that came to my mind is that you missed the package CJK locales (mono-locale-extras). That makes sense! I'll check it out. Thanks for your help Martin Filtered by

[Mono-dev] Returning a remote object reference from a remote procedure

/* Sorry if this is double post. I've had some problems with the previous post */ Hi! I have been toying with remoting on Mono today. It seems it is not possible for a remote procedure to return any object reference. This results in a crash in the client app. Is this already supported in Mono?

Re: [Mono-dev] Character encoding issues on Linux - Iconv usage on windows.

I have been looking at the iconv usage on windows (specifically in reference to the need to implement g_convert in eglib. If I trace the calls right, g_convert is only used in g_locale_to_utf8 and g_locale_from_utf8, which is in turn only used in, mono_unicode_to_external and

Re: [Mono-dev] Character encoding issues on Linux

Hi, I had a look at I18N sources and CP1256.cs was already there. Also Encoding.GetEncoding (1256) worked fine, so it is rather likely an issue at your box for CP1256 too. Atsushi Eno Martin Brown wrote: Hi Atushi, It must not happen. I have been living with codepage 932 which is my
