Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator 2.28
Hi, With help from Wolfgang and some googling on my own there are now two different solutions to this problem. Wolfgang supplied me with a new smsqmulator which was able to keep up, and I found the programming manual to the scanner family on the net which enabled me to reduce its typing speed.

I have not tested with other java applications in BeOS yet, but the rest of the applications installed in the system show these characters properly. I also use OpenJDK on Linux and I don't detect that problem. It may be something related to the configuration of the hpkg package or to the configuration of my Haiku system. > > Wolfgang > >> Thank you for your work. >> >> >> El 7/2/20 a las 11:34, Wolfgang Lenerz via Ql-Users escribió: >>> Hi all, >>> >>> SMSQmulator 2.28 is out now. >>> >>> (www.wlenerz.com/smsqmulator) >>> >>> Have fun! >>> >>> Wolfgang >>> >>> NB Sorry if this gets double-posted, I haven't had a return yet... >>> ___ >>> QL-Users Mailing List >> >> >> ___ >> QL-Users Mailing List >> > ___ > QL-Users Mailing List ___ QL-Users Mailing List
[Ql-Users] SMSQmulator 2.28
¡Hola! This corrects a problem of loading images on the screen using lbytes. Yeah, amongst others... I discovered that by pure accident, when I was trying out the (very nice) adventure game written by P. van Peebles. This must have been in there for quite some time, I wish somebody had told me about it earlier. Speaking of great adventure games, even the Pawn now works great with SMSQmulator, Tobias Fröschle kindly saw to that. I have seen that an entry called "JmenuItem1" appears in the File menu. Ooops. That's for something I may introduce in a future version. Tell you that I tried the emulator in Haiku (BeOS) and it works correctly in OpenJDK, but some characters are not shown in the menus. for example, special characters such as the opening of interrogation or exclamation, the letter ñ or the ellipses (...) that indicate that this menu option will open another menu. You're the first person I know that uses BeOS or it's descendants. Nice! I'm afraid that there's not much I can do about the characters not showing. Normally Java should use standard unicode (if there is such a thing). Can you normally display these characters on your system? It's not the fault of OpenJDK, as that's what I use here.
