Back again with Unicode problems. For some reason, copying unicode text (as 'htmlText') from one field to a line in another field is AGAIN not working. But I have established the following:
Earlier today, as I typed in the 'source' field, the textFont property of any extended characters I typed were automatically set by Revolution to "Lucida Grande,Japanese" - I am using MacOS X, with the US-Extended unicode keyboard, and typing Esperanto accented characters (ĉ, ŝ, ĝ, ĵ, ĥ, ŭ). After typing, trying to set the textFont of these characters to anything else apart from the 'default' set by Revolution, had no effect - the texFont property of these characters remained "Lucida Grande,Japanese".
I did find, however, that I was suddenly being able to copy text from the source field to the target field with a simple line of script (which I hadn't been able to do until yesterday):
set the htmlText of line x of field "targetFld" to the htmlText of field "sourceFld"
However, after a few hours working on other stacks, I went back to my 'unicode test' stack, and much to my surprise, the script NO LONGER WORKS!
However, now when I go back and check the 'textFont' property of the extended characters, as I type them, I see that Revolution is setting them to "Geneva,Unicode", instead of "Lucida Grande,Japanese". Again, if I try to set the 'textFont' property of these characters via script, it has no effect - they remain "Geneva,Unicode". The only difference is that now trying to copy the text from the source field to the target, using the htmlText property no longer works...
When I look at the html being produced, I see that now the extended characters have "Geneva" and "US" as attributes in the <font> tag! So, even though the html escape sequences for these characters (ie, Ĉ) is correct, my guess is that when Revolution 'reads it back' into the target field, because it has 'US' as the language, it doesn't recognise that character anymore...
So, perhaps Tuviah can enlighten us, as to WHY Revolution sometimes sets the 'textFont' of international characters as "Lucida Grande,Japanese", and sometimes as "Geneva,Unicode" - without allowing us to change it? Why is Revolution automatically switching to another font?
Also - if the textFont is "*,Unicode", why is it set in the html tag produced that the language is "US"?
Is there a workaround for these issues?
