Richmond,
Why don't you switch to using revBrowser to do all your text display, font
resizing, and font-family changes? Works like a clock... and you don't have
to hold your breath. (But there's no revBrowser for mobiles.)
I think the sheer effort of having to recode 2 years' work to use
revBrowser might
prove counter productive; може би аз съм малко глупов, but Ahm nae that
gyte!

Subject: Adventures in Unicode
possibly subtitled "Wading through treacle".
My 'eternal' Devawriter didn't display glyphs properly once they were
entered via a slightly mephistophelian process into the OUTPUT field,
and at least one of my beta-testers was getting quite crochety about it
(mainly as I had had no epiphanies of late). Then, flashes of slightly
murky light, and it occurred to me that upping the textSize of the
output field,
and then setting it down by one again . . . take a deep breath, you
know
Richmond is daft . . . and then, of course, one has to shift the
unicodeText out
of the field while it is resized and then return it . . .
But; it worketh . . .
follow me closely:
set the useUnicode to true
set the unicodeText of the fld "HOLDER" to the unicodeText of fld
"OUTPUT"
put the textSize of fld "OUTPUT" into BIGGY
put BIGGY + 1 into BIGGGY
set the textSize of fld " OUTPUT" to BIGGGY
put empty into fld "OUTPUT"
set the unicodeText of the fld "OUTPUT" to the unicodeText of fld
"HOLDER"
put empty into fld "HOLDER"
set the unicodeText of the fld "HOLDER" to the unicodeText of fld
"OUTPUT"
set the textSize of fld " OUTPUT" to BIGGY
put empty into fld "OUTPUT"
set the unicodeText of the fld "OUTPUT" to the unicodeText of fld
"HOLDER"
put empty into fld "HOLDER"
select after fld "OUTPUT"
this is just about as clunky as one gets, but it seems the only way in
which one can ensure unicodeText is represented properly.
and, before you mention it:

I'm off to the funny-farm for a quick frontal lobotomy after that one
(which took me about a year to come round to).
