Hi Richard,

I've been avoiding using Unicode because of all the difficulties noted
here with Rev, and I just haven't needed it. But now I have a bunch
of files in which I don't know whether they're UTF-8 or UTF-16, and I
don't know which language's character set they use.
First, I need to just display these in a field. That would seem simple
enough, but I haven't figured out a reliable way to do this without
knowing some external information about the files. Use the wrong
character set and they look like junk.
Don't know if this will help, but Klaus posted a response to Ken Ray in
"Re: Detecting UTF-8 Encoded Files" on 7 Aug. It contains helpful hints
about detecting what Unicode file format you're dealing with - I don't
know if the tips work universally, but maybe that's a starting place.
Then I need to get the formattedText of the field so I can measure
distances to line breaks. So far it seems that the formattedText
property is limited to ASCII only -- is that correct?
Am I just missing something obvious here?
I'll continue with my experiments, but if you have any pointers they
would be much appreciated.
TIA -
