Thanks Jan for checking on this, I'll bug it now. Hopefully, it can be fixed with 2.5.

Hi,

Any chance RevPrintText will be updated to support
Unicode? Printing
unicode text is proving challenging. Type Unicoded
text into a fld and
then use the various print options available to us.

<revprinttext >
put the htmltext of fld 1 into thetext
revshowprintdialog false,true
revprinttext thetext

as well as 'printed'

put the text of fld 1 into thetext
revshowprintdialog false,true
revprinttext thetext

in ascii format ie.
incorrectlly

<Print card...>
This can be used. One just needs to clone a stack
with a field the size
of the printable area of the chosen paper, add a
little to the topright
and chop off a little of the bottomleft to get rid
of the fld outline
and it passes as a printed page of text. It is not
an ideal solution
however.

<revprintfield>
This works for ascii text but not for unicode. The
results is a blank
page(s) similar to using revprinttext using
htmltext.


thanks Ron


Hi Ron,

If you haven't filed a bugzilla report yet, you
should, as otherwise it's not going to get on the
agenda -- however, I think I've found the culprit :
handler 'revSetPrintFont' in the 'revPrintBack'
backscript doesn't take into account if the field font
is set to something unicode, like "Osaka,Japanese"
when it checks if the textFont of the field is in the
fontnames of the printer.
