SOLUTION: Displaying Russian/Cyrillic characters in Zen Mi

I saw a number of posts on this forum from people who couldn't get their Zen Micro to display cyrillic characters. I didn't see any messages with a solution to this so I thought it wasn't possible with the current freeware.
I am happy to report that my Zen Micro now displays russian characters without any problems.
The only thing I had to do was set the following preference:
Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced -> Language for non-Unicode Pograms
Restart your computer, and now Zen Micro Media Explorer will be able to import mp3 files with Russian characters in the ID3 tags.
I am using a regular US Windows XP Home.
Hope this hel
ps.

it used to be if you bought ms office international edition you got ms arial
unicode font too. now i think it's $99 per 5 users (though no longer available
from ms, ascender licenses it now i think). have you tried www.sil.org? also
http://unicode.org/resources/fonts.html has some listed, make sure to checkout

  • Browsers no longer able to read russian / cyrillic characters

    Ever since i upgrading to Snow Leopard just recently i noticed that my all browsers (safari, firefox, chrome etc) are unable to read russian / cyrillic characters. While i can type russian letters in the search bar or in pages / key notes for example i can not read or write in the browsers.
    As an example if i go to google.ru i can't read the writing ... I've uploaded a screenshot for you to see here: http://cl.ly/0g2u0e10363I2b1a0i1f/
    The text encoding is set how should be also.
    Please let me know if you can help ...

    Very strange! There is of course one word which you can in fact read, namely веб at the upper left, the only one which is not a link of some sort. Could you provide another example where the site is showing text and not links?

  • Spotlight Google search in Safari gives Google links in Cyrillic characters

    It's bizarre, I know, but when I use Spotlight as a quick access to Google, the page comes up with the Google links (Web, Images, Groups etc. at the top; Cached, Similar pages after each entry) displayed in Cyrillic characters in a language I don't know, although the search results are in English, in Latin type. But when I navigate to Google, all the text comes out "normal" in English, in Latin type.
    I presume this is somehow due to settings going astray but I can't find how to locate the settings to change them.
    (a) Does anyone know how this is happening?
    (b) Does anyone know how to fix it?
    For the time being I just don't use the Spotlight Google search in Safari, but it would be a useful shortcut to be able to use it.
    (Posted here on the premise that it is a Spotlight rather than a Safari problem, but also under Safari because it relates to that too.)

    Try quitting Safari. Then select Safari in the Applications folder and Get Info. Deselect any Language you don't want. Close the Get Info window and reopen Safari to see if the problem is corrected. If not, you might try trashing the com.apple.Safari.plist file after quitting Safari.

  • ITunes does not display Cyrillic characters correctly in Windows 7 Starter

    I try to copy my songs from iTunes (9.0 running Mac OS X 10.6 Russian interface language) with tags containing Cyrillic characters (song name, artist, etc.) into iTunes 9.1 (russian interface) on netbook running Windows 7 Starter English. I do it via Home sharing option in iTunes.
    Some songs with Russian titles displayed OK, but some of them display wrong characters (see attached screenshot).

  • Flash chart doesn't display cyrillic characters

    Hi !
    Please give me you advise to solve my problem...
    I tried to write X-axis labels on 2D-column chart using Cyrillic characters.
    If I set "Labels Rotation" to a value more than 0 chart does not display labels. If labels consists of Cyrillic and Latin characters then only Latin characters are displayed.
    Please help me to resolve this issue.
    Best regards,
    Renat.

    That is possible.
    The rotation functionality within html, if I understand it correctly, actually generates a graphic and rotates that rather than rotates the individual characters. It could be that this functionality just isn't designed for the characters you need.
    This may be something you need to research on Adobe's website?

  • How to display cyrillic characters in a PDF

    I am fairly green in terms of representing text in PDF documents and need some assistance. My main question is how do I represent Cyrillic characters in PDF files.
    I know the basics of how to represent text in PDF files and the PostScript commands to use. I know that bytes written to the file in the range of 0 to 255 will print correctly when using the correct encoding (we are using the WinAnsiEncoding). What I cannot seem to figure out is how to represent extended character sets and different glyphs (such as those used in the Cyrillic alphabet) in a PDF file. Do I need to use CID fonts and CMaps?
    Here is an example of the text I understand how to print:
    stream
    0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00000000 RG
    0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00000000 rg
    BT
    /Helvetica 14 Tf
    7.2 768.96 Td
    (Hello World!) Tj
    ET
    endstream
    I'm really not clear on how to represent any of the Chinese or Japanese fonts either, so really any help here is appreciated. Any examples are appreciated as well.
    Thanks!

    You don't need to use CIDFonts and CMaps for Cyrillic (though you can). The crucial thing to realise is that displaying Latin1 (that is, English and related text) leaves you in a very simple corner of PDF. Doing anything with other encodings instantly makes a project more complex, perhaps 10 times more complex. Far eastern fonts perhaps 10 times more complex again.
    The principle is the same for all of them. To use any character you need
    1. A font containing that character. PDF has built in fonts containing Latin1, such as Helvetica, but there is no such luxury for other encodings.
    2. The right (license) to embed the font.
    3. The technical ability to embed the font. In many case this isn't just a case of embedding a file as a stream, but also you need to analyse the tables in the font, and sometimes trim or modify them.
    4. An encoding for the font.
    5. Text streams which use character positions in the encoding to show the text.
    Basically you need to read and read and reread the chapter on text, and its references (such as font formats). This will become your constant friend or tormenter for the many months of the project.
    If you don't like the sound of that, or it doesn't make ecomomic sense to do that, there are many PDF libraries which have taken the necessary months or years to do this.

  • Cyrillic characters from MySQL not displaying correctly

    I have a flash file that has a dynamic text link which is taking the data from a MySQL database.  Everything is fine when it is receiving standard characters, but when I try to use Cyrillic characters I just get ???? instead.
    I've tried setting the collation to everything from windows 1251 to UTF8 (and variants).  I've also tried setting the text link to fonts ranging from Arial to Arial CYR, Verdana etc and even embedding the char sets into the file.
    Nothing seems to be working - does anyone have any ideas about what I can do?
    Thanks!!

    I do this by sending a

    Additionally
    your server has to send the correct charset parameter to the
    browser.
    In PHP you can achieve this with a header() call:
    header('Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');

  • Using cyrillic characters in cfdocument

    Hi,
    I'm currently developing on a CF8 single installation on a RedHat AS 4 machine using apache.
    I have a multilingual web app that requires the on the fly creation of .pdf files, and those .pdf files require some if not all of their content to be presentable in languages using Cyrillic characters. I have all this working and it's very efficient, except for 1 problem.
    The only way I can get the cyrillic characters to be correctly included in the .pdf is to take for example the Arial.ttf font from a WinXP box and install it in the CF fonts directory: /opt/coldfusion8/runtime/jre/lib/fonts, by default there are only 5 versions of the Lucinda font.
    So my question is, seeing as I don't think I can use the MS Arial.ttf, since TrueType fonts are under MS trademark, is there a solution to this using any free fonts? It would be much better if I could find a solution using a single font supporting unicode that can display such languages as Macedonian, Russian and Polish, as well as th Sinitic languages, (I know the syntax is different, but it would be nice to have the option)
    Hope someone can help!
    Thanks,
    Ash

  • Cyrillic Characters not shown in pdf file when xsl is parsed part 2:

    I am using Fop to create a pdf file from an XSL file, an XML file and a ApplicationResources.properties file.
    The XML file is populated by a Java class, where the information is taken from a Russian Database. This XML file is them used to populate the XSL file.
    The ApplicationResources.properties file, is in windows 1251 format, as we converted it using NativeToAscii converter.
    I downloaded a cyrillic ttf file, and created a metrics file, according to the Fop website. And I had Russian appearing on my PDF from the database (not ApplicationResources.properties file though). However, the information which we were retrieving from the database would not display on the jsp pages which are part of the same application.
    To fix this, we changed our database driver from a ODBC-JDBC driver, to an oracle thin type 4 driver.
    Since this happened, my cyrillic characters no longer appear on my PDF file.
    I know that the information from the database comes back in windows 1251 format, so I tried to put the
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251"?>
    and
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Cp1251"?>
    but when I do this, I get the following error in my log file:
    L2|14:14:58:433|ExecuteThread-9|PDFService.generatePDF: class com.petrotechnics.skyobma.service.SkyobmaServiceException Exception :javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The encoding "Cp1251" is not supported.
    or the windows-1251 is not supported.
    I do not know what to do at all, I am really struggling and was wondering if anyone had any idea about where I can go from here, or even if someone can just tell me I am fighting a loosing battle I would be happy.
    Yours Truly Hopefully,
    Gillian Daniel

    either you configure FOP to use a SAX Parser that supports Cp1251 or you encode your XML data to UTF-8.
    we flawlessly generate Greek PDF documents out of data selected from Oracle 8.1 by using UTF-8.

  • Cyrillic characters in email from discussions

    Hi.
    I'm subscribed to a particular topic, and I've been receiving the usual emails for each new posting. These have been fine except for this one: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9346909#9346909
    The email didn't show the message in the usual font, but instead displayed it in Cyrillic (Russian) characters, yet as you can see, the posting is in perfectly normal English.
    Anyone know what's going on?
    Bob

    The OP apologizes for his poor English, perhaps the original post was made in a language that uses Cyrillic characters and then translated or revised?

  • Cyrillic Characters not shown in pdf file when xsl is parsed

    Part of the application we have created allows the user to view PDF pages, so they are more suitable for printing.
    We create xsl files which eventually get transformed into the PDF format.
    We use the javax.xml.Transform.Transformer to transform the xsl file and xml.
    We use the org.exolab.castor.xml.Marshallerto general the xml.
    We use Apache Fop to turn the XML into the PDF format.
    Before it was working fine, we get some text from a resource file, which we call in the xsl. But now we want to do this in Russian. When we read the same resource file in the xsl, but with the cyrillic characters in it, the pdf view is just question marks, and other characters. Nothing russian.
    Does anyone know where I could start looking to find out what is wrong?

    just generate the font metrics files for the fonts you intend to use, as explained on FOP web site, then you will get the Cyrillic chars.

  • Cyrillic characters issue in ABAP mapping

    Hello Experts,
    I am using ABAP mapping program to convert IDOC XML to flat file. Further i am using FIle adapter to write this file on FTP server.
    My problem is:
    When Idoc contains CYRILLIC characters in payload, then these characters appear as "#" after the mapping has executed.
    If I check in SXMB_MONI in XI, the inbound payload displays data correctly. In "Request Message mapping" node, if I check the output of ABAP mapping program, then cyrillic characters are replaced with "#". The same "#" is then written to File.
    Do you have any idea, how do i deal with this problem.
    NOTE: I tried passing encoding type = UTF-8 to the function - SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING which is used the mapping program to set the encoding type, but it did not work.

    @PI Expert: I tried to debug the ABAP mapping using SXI_MAPPING_TEST transaction, however when I paste my payload in the editor, the cyrillic characters appear as junk characters. Due to this, in the output, these junk characters are appear as "#"
    @Sarvesh: I too initially thought that this could be problem with AL11, that it is not displaying the data correctly. However when I checked the "Request Message Mapping" node in SXMB_MONI, it showed "#" characters. Also the .csv file generated contains "#" only.
    Thanks for your time and response.

  • Smartform with Cyrillic characters

    I have a smartform with Russian characters that works fine when using the font courcyr, but when using timecyr I get '#' in place of the cyrillic characters. I have no problem using the timecyr with sapscript, but the only way I can print cyrillic characters in a smartform is with courcyr and I want to use timecyr. Do smartforms use a different set of fonts than sapscript? Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Craig

    The language of the sapscript might be russian and smartform is not translated to russian.
    If you are using message control for printing, make sure the output issued in the language you are trying to print.
