Good morning Devin
I have still got no success (on Mac10.4.8 and Rev 2.6)
The fld "result" is set to "verdana,unicode", but only n appears.
Could it be
that I need Rev 2.8?
Indeed it does not work with Rev v. < 2.7. There were some
enhancements to unicode for 2.7 that seem to be necessary to make
this work.
However, I have not tried your suggested settings with "Enable the
Unicode Hex
Input method in the International system prefs under the input tab.
This will
cause the Unicode Hex Input method to appear in the input menu (the
one with the
little flags on the right side of the menubar.) First because my
system is in
Norwegian and I did not find the input menu, and secondly because
my potential
users cannot be bothered by doing this. (Or am I completely wrong?
Is this
setting in Revolution somewhere?)
No, it's a Mac OS X setting. Open System Preferences, click on
International, then Input Menu. As soon as you enable at least one of
the items under Input Menu the input (flag menu, right next to the
time on the right end of the menu bar) will become visible.
Do your users need to be able to type the n-with-umlaut into a field?
If so, you could provide a button that inserted one, using the method
I've described. If you decide to go that route I'd be happy to make a
sample stack for you that does this.

Devin

Hi Devin,
This doesn't work for me (Mac OS X 10.4.8, Rev 2.7.8).
The # is replaced by n instead of n-umlaut.
Right, after I sent this message, I discovered that the first # in
the field does not get replaced by the n-umlaut, only an n. It works
for every other # after the first one. (Go figure!) Here's a
workaround that worked for me:
on mouseUp
get "#"&fld "poundfld"
put numToChar(110) & numToChar(204) & numToChar(136) into tChars
replace "#" with tChars in it
set the unicodeText of fld "result" to uniencode(it,"UTF8")
delete char 1 to 2 of fld "result"
end mouseUp
Does this work for you?
Thanks for keeping me honest!
Devin
Signe,
You can still do it without one of these methods. Let's take your
case as an example. Say you have a field "poundfield" that
contains your text with # for each n-umlaut. Now create another
field, say field "result", and set its textFont to a unicode font
as in #1 of my first post, below. Now create a button with the
following script:
on mouseUp
get fld "poundfld"
replace "#" with "nÃà" in it
set the unicodeText of fld "result" to uniencode(it,"UTF8")
end mouseUp
Barring any automatic Mac to PC character substitutions (by Rev or
by your mail client,) this should result in the #'s in your
poundfield being replaced by the character you want. If it doesn't
work as posted here, the three characters in the 'with' part of
the replace statement are ASCII-110 ASCII-204 ASCII-136. So you
could generate them reliably by doing this:
on mouseUp
get fld "poundfld"
put numToChar(110) & numToChar(204) & numToChar(136) into tChars
replace "#" with tChars in it
set the unicodeText of fld "result" to uniencode(it,"UTF8")
end mouseUp
