I set up a stack containing a field "FFF"
and a button with the following script:
on mouseUp
set the textFont of fld "FFF" to "Sanskrit 2003"
set the useUnicode to true
put uniencode("abx") into BLOB
set the unicodeText of fld "FFF" to numToChar(57417) & BLOB
end mouseUp
[bad point] which I had to type manually here because I was unable
to Copy-Paste from the script-editor on Linux into any
other program (tried gEdit and this one - ThunderBird).
What I got was " abx"; so the numToChar(57417) yielded the desired
unicode glyph,
but :
1. at a tiny size
2. superScripted
adding this line to the end of my script
set the textSize of fld "FFF" to 120
only served to set "abx" to a size of 120, while the complex glyph from
address 57417
remained the same.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a "funny feeling" that the inability to scale text will extend to
all characters from
outwith the extended ASCII table.
Obviously this is not satisfactory.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
doing this:
set the unicodeText of fld "FFF" to BLOB & numToChar(57417) & BLOB
made the numToChar(57417) even smaller and put it even higher up the
textField.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
doing this:
set the unicodeText of fld "FFF" to numToChar(57417)
produced a similar phenomenon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feeling grumpy.
