Could somebody please test how does this layout look, both on Linux and on windows ?

LAYOUT(DANFeLayout, 276, 104)
	ITEM(EditCoeffs, gammaM0, LeftPosZ(52, 56).TopPosZ(32, 19))
	ITEM(Label, dv___1, SetLabel(t_("ƔM0")).LeftPosZ(4, 40).TopPosZ(32, 16))
	ITEM(EditCoeffs, gammaM1, LeftPosZ(52, 56).TopPosZ(56, 19))
	ITEM(Label, dv___3, SetLabel(t_("ƔM1")).LeftPosZ(4, 40).TopPosZ(56, 16))
	ITEM(EditCoeffs, gammaM2, LeftPosZ(52, 56).TopPosZ(80, 19))
	ITEM(Label, dv___5, SetLabel(t_("ƔM2")).LeftPosZ(4, 40).TopPosZ(80, 16))
	ITEM(StaticText, dv___6, SetText(t_("Steel - partial coefficients Ɣm :")).SetFont(StdFontZ(14).Bold()).LeftPosZ(4, 268).TopPosZ(4, 19))
END_LAYOUT


On my linux box is all ok, on my Windows7 one all the letters 'Ɣ' (gamma) are replaced by weird spaces.... And MANY other chars gets scrambled. Encoding is UTF8 on both sides.

Ciao

Well, I discovered that in no way this 'gamma' letter can be passed to windows... Maybe it doesn't exist on its charsets.
Replacing it with another 'simil-gamma' found on windows did the trick.

Btw, the other 'big' problem in my app was GetSystemLNG(), which returns not only the language but also the active charmap :

lang = GetSystemLNG();
String langStr = LNGAsText(lang);


lang is 18141492 and langStr is "IT-IT windows-1252" in my machine.
Not sure about but, doing

SetLanguage(lang);


seems to activate both italian language AND 1252 codepage, making all UTF8 chars in app to disappear and/or be scrambled.
The solution was :

lang = GetSystemLNG();
String langStr = LNGAsText(lang).Left(5);
lang = LNGFromText(langStr);
SetLanguage(lang);


stripping so the codepage from language string and reconverting to integer, which in my machine gives lang=315700 and langStr="IT-IT" and allows UTF8 chars to behave as usual.
Note that this problem arose just on windows; on Linux it was all ok.

Hi,

I use something like this:

SetLanguage( SetLNGCharset( GetSystemLNG(), CHARSET_UTF8 ) );
