I wanted to know from the other Esperantists in the list, what your tips and tricks are for dealing with Esperanto text in Revolution. I'm finding it really hard to deal with unicode text in any language that is not a 'keyboard' language in MacOS X (ie, languages that you have to use a unicode keyboard, such as the 'US Extended' keyboard layout, for input). Revolution doesn't seem to want to respect my choice of fonts, and keeps trying to turn my text into Geneva, or tag the font as ". Japanese" - which causes major hassle...
I have found that copying lines of text from one field to another via script is almost impossible, requiring major workarounds - I have tried using both the 'unicodeText' and the 'htmlText' properties.
I have not been very successful in passing strings that contain Esperanto characters as parameters, either. There must be something quite basic that I am doing (or not doing), as my Esperanto characters seem to have this knack for turning into 2 giberish ascii characters.
All in all, it seems that despite its support for unicode, the 'default' for working in Revolution is still ascii text. So, if your application is going to be using Unicode THROUGHOUT and everywhere, you have to use Unicode-converting functions everywhere, as it is always trying to economise space by converting characters to ascii.
I feel that I am missing something basic here - it surely can't be this hard!
Have the other Esperantists in the list been able to successfully work with Esperanto text in their scripts? Any hints would be a great help!
