Hi Troy I did indeed try :
set the unicodeText of field "field 1" to URL "binfile:c:\temp\google.htm" but all I get is little boxes instead of characters. Today I tried a different tack. Since pasting from the clipboard at least managed to get the non-Roman characters displayed inside Rev, I tried to use the clipboard as a container: put URL "http://www.google.co.th"; into it set the clipBoardData["Unicode"] to it put the clipBoardData["Unicode"] into field "field 1" But the characters that are put into the field are just the same mix of Roman character gibberish instead of Thai. I had a look on a Win2K machine I have lying around, and that web page was displayed in Thai ok, and I could again copy the HTML source from Mozilla and paste it into a field in Rev, and the Thai characters again came over with the HTML. However, when I try to move the mixture of Roman and non-Roman characters within Rev, I am having the same problems as before. There seems to be no way that Rev can read a mixture of Roman and non-Roman characters on the same web page. The only way Rev seems to be able to handle non-Roman characters is if they are pasted in from another application. This surely can't be right. Or am I fundamentally mistaken about what it means for Rev to support Unicode? I'm really stumped by this. I hope the simple examples (in my initial email on this subject) could be tried by a few of those who are more attuned with Rev text-manipulation than me (especially since on Windows machines it does not even look like you need to have any additional language facilities installed in order to view the foreign characters on pages like www.google.co.th). In case others think this is a rather abstruse exercise - let me just point out that China and Japan offer huge markets for your applications, and if you design them so that the presentation is separate from the logic, being able to import a different language into the presentation brings these huge markets one step closer to you.

I have no idea if Thai is unicode formatted, but I assume you've tried setting the text field as "unicodetext", right? -- Troy _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
