After beating my head on the wall in the past, I decided to return to this issue. However, as far as I can tell, the unicode and uniEncode capability of rev is still crap. I attempted to convert an old stack into unicode... very simple script:
create field put uniEncode(field "oldshiftJis",Japanese) into last field set the textFont of last field to "osaka,japanese"
The new fields made in this way display the japanese text just fine. But if you attempt to edit them, you go into endless beachball spin and have to force-quit rev. Again and again....
This is rev 2.02 on mac OS10.2. I would purchase the update to rev 2.1x if the unicode handling were not still crap in that. Anyone know if it was improved between these versions? Boy do I pine for the ease of Hypercard's Japanese ability!
In 2.02 on OS X 10, the following allowed me to edit the text in field 2. (The original text in field 1 was shift-jis.)
put uniEncode(field 1,Japanese) into t1 set the unicodeText of field 2 to t1 set the textFont of field 2 to "osaka,japanese"
