I was thinking of writing a little Unicode tutorial anyway... why don't you send me a stack which exemplifies some of your problems? Let's get things rocking... :)


Here is a short list of some of the ones I haven't been able to overcome:


1) If you have a TABLE FIELD, there is no way to keep Esperanto text in any of the cells. As soon as you exit the cell, the Esperanto characters turn to gibberish. I've tried setting the textFont property of the field to ",Unicode" before typing, but that does not help, either.

2) If I have some Esperanto text that I want to pass as a string parameter to a handler That handler is supposed to put that text into a line in a field. I cannot find a way to do that successfully, and repeatedly. Most times it does not work, with the text being turned into Japanese, or gibberish. Every now and then, there is a script that works (using the htmlText property, not the unicodeText), but I cannot tell what it is that has happened differently - I think this has to do with the way Revolution keeps changing the textFont of chars inside fields. Sometimes I strike the right combination, just by accident. Anyway, if you know of a way to accomplish this RELIABLY, PLEEEEEEEEEASE share your tip!!!! ;-)

3) How can I put an Esperanto label on a button? Setting the textFont of the button to ",Unicode", and then trying to enter a label in the Inspector, doesn't work. Trying to set it via script doesn't work either. What can I do?

I have been working on a reusable 'Translator' stack - the idea being that you enter a stringName, then the actual string, in different languages (each card in the stack represents a language). I have found that translating to 'run-of-the-mill' roman languages (Portuguese, Spanish, French) poses no problem - Revolution copes with these accented characters quite well. The problem only appears when I try to use a language that requires the 'US Extended' unicode keyboard layout as the input method - then, nothing seems to work...

Once again, thank you for your interest, and for your willingness to help!

Kind Regards,
