Cyrillic characters in mail

I receive email in Russian with Cyrillic characters and they are not visualized correctly.
I have even tried to instal the Russian key board but the situation is unchanged.

How can I visualize Cyrillic characters correctly in mail?

It looks like you might have font encoding problem.
If possible, try using webmail instead of Mail and see if things change.
Also do View > Message > Raw Source and copy/paste the result in an email to me and I may be able to help (tom at bluesky dot org).

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?

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 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 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.

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 in Layer-7 Class Maps statements ?

Hi,
For a specific implementation, I need the ACE to parse URIs with cyrillic characters in a Layer-7 class-map. Does the ACE-4710 support it ?
If yes, how to enter them in a L7 class-map statement like : match http url /Искусство.*
Thank you for any hints
Yves

Hi Yves,
I cannot find anything regarding this and i don't see a way to put that in there. I tried pasting it in my ACE and it didn't take it. I would suggest to open a TAC case for official confirmation.
Regards,
Kanwal

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!!

You also have to define the connection character set, so the
data will
be transfered correctly.
10.4. Connection Character Sets and Collations
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-connection.html
I do this by sending a
SET NAMES 'utf8'
to the database right after establishing the connection.
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');

Uploading cyrillic characters using XLIFF

Hi!
We would like to have a multilingual application including some non-latin character sets like chinese and russian character sets.
We have translated from the primary language English (us-en) to French (fr), German (de) and Italian (it) without any problem.
Uploading XLIFF with cyrillic characters was also accepted by HTML DB (and we just put cyrillic characters as the XML header stated it was supporting UTF8) but as soon as we try to run the application in Russian, all characters are replaced by "reversed question marks" symbols...
Any idea why? Have we missed something? Have we done something wrong?
Thanks in advance for help!

FranÃ§ois,
Sorry, but nothing comes to mind how you could achieve this.
The customer uploads a file encoded in UTF-8, it is then converted in the database from UTF-8 to the database character set, and then applied to the translation repository for your application. It is that second step of the process where the conversion is taking place, and utlimately failing for your Cyrillic characters.
An alter session won't buy you anything. It's ultimately an issue with your current database character set not being able to support the Cyrillic characters.
I can ask around, but at this time, nothing comes to mind.

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.

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.

The actual file is located at "C:\Documents and Settings\drdanielfc\Desktop\DATscape\The Mad Heads\НАДІЯ Є\06 Гроші.wma".
JMF appears to turn all of the characters into ? marks as it cannot understand them. Is there some sort of workaround without renaming the files?Well, a few things... first off, JMF won't play your wma file anyway as it doesn't support WMA files.
But you might try reversing the order of the slashes.
IE..
MediaLocator ml = new MediaLocator("file:/C:/Documents and Settings/drdanielfc/Desktop/DATscape/The Mad Heads/НАДІЯ Є/06 Гроші.wma");
You might also try constructing your MediaLocator from a URL, instead of a String.
IE...
URL url = new URL("C:\Documents and Settings\drdanielfc\Desktop\DATscape\The Mad Heads\НАДІЯ Є\06 Гроші.wma");
MediaLocator ml = new MediaLocator(url);
If those 2 suggestions don't work, nothing will. Also, test them with a WAV file since WMA isn't supported ;-)

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
