Problem latin characters

Hi!
We are actually working with Flex and we have some problems
to deal with latin characters like áéíóú
and ñ. Static texts are correctly shown, but dynamic texts
not. These dynamic texts come from the database and are mapped to
actionscript objects from java objects. The problem is that latin
characters are replaced with white squares.
We have checked the content of the java objects, printing
their content and the texts keep the original charset, so, we think
the problem is in the mapping to the actionscript objects.
We are using RemoteObject and the message protocol amf. We
have looked for configuration directives to change the charset but
we didn´t success :(
I know it's a very specific problem, but it you could give me
any clue to solve this I would be very pleased.
Thanks in advance! (Sorry for my english, I hope you could
understand everything I wrote).

I think after all it is a problem with the either:
a. OS installer, which should really try to delete fonts which are duplicated by new system fonts
b. OS which should give precedence to new system fonts over old system fonts where there are two the same, especially when the system fonts are in /System/Library/Fonts and the old ones are in /Library/Fonts
The major annoyance is that this problem appeared with Leopard and took me hours of searching to figure out its origin - when you don't know if it is a character entry problem (which I thought) or a character display problem (which it turned out to be). In the end the fix was simple - delete the superceded fonts.

Character display problem latin characters

For some reason old fonts show latin characters when i type "o/" and "l/". The problem seems confined to old fonts (at least Geneva; Monaco; New York), so I guess it is a bug?

Non- Latin characters not available following iCloud problem

Following help from HKQ recovering my Reminders (it turned out there was a problem with iCloud), my non-Latin characters (and the little globe icon for them have just vanished !) This must have happened during the reset or switching on iCloud. I need this really urgently to send emails to people. Please help,

Problem with Latin Characters while transferring to the file

Hi,
I want to transfer the data to the file. But the problem i m facing is latin characters get converted to unwanted characters.
If i use FM 'SCP_REPLACE_STRANGE_CHARS', it converts latin to english.
But i want latin to be latin itself.
Please help.

hi..
this has more to do with the conceppt of codepage of the system...that u r using..
in some cases the development system is unable to recognise the local characters...and hence it prints junc characters....but wen u move the same to higher system...u can find the desired characters....
Also try one thing ..log in in local (Latin Language ) and upload...even if it does not come in devlopment system...it will come in higher systems...
Hope the above works...Reward points..if helpful...

Non latin characters in Safari search

In Safari 6 the search and URL fields are combined. That's fine, except...
We can no longer search using non-Latin characters, because the field accepts only Latin characters. I was trying to search for a Japanese term, and when I switch to Hiragana input and move to the search field, the input switches back to English.
What's the workaround??

The problem has gone away. I suspect it was a problem with corrupted prefs. I trashed the Safari prefs and rebooted to clear another problem and no longer have the problem with search using Japanese characters.
FWIW, the problem I had when I trashed the prefs was with trying to mail a Safari page. I ran in to this originally a week or two ago and called Apple who told me to delete the Safari prefs and reboot. (Actually they gave an alternate procedure to try first, but I didn't bother.) That appears to be a recurrent problem and since there was no hesitation on the solution when I called I would guess that it will be fixed in an early patch. I had already tried trashing the mail prefs since that's where the problem actually appeared (an extra copy of Mail would open, and then hang) but it was in fact the Safari prefs that was causing the problem. I've had to do the delete-and-reboot routine every few days. Not sure why the reboot is required, but it obviously is since just quitting Safari or even logging out doesn't fix it.

We cannot type Polish (non-latin) characters in WebDynpro applications

We cannot type Polish (non-latin) characters in WebDynpro application (in runtime) because 'Browser Help Shortcuts' are fired.
To type a polish character in polish keyboard you need to press AltGr + letter (ie. AltGr + a/c/e/s/o/l/z/x/n). To type an uppercase polish character you need to press AltGr + Shift + letter. This comination is in fact the same as pressing Alt + Ctrl + Shift + letter (because AltGr produces Alt + Ctrl) and it fires some of 'Browser Help Shortcuts'. For example AltGr + Shift + O should produce a letter O with a dash on it's top but instead it fires 'Show nesting of HTML containers'.
We tried to turn off sap-wd-lightspeed, but then other key combinations are reserved for u2018Browser Help Shortcutsu2019.
We need to be able to use AltGr + Shift + a/c/e/s/o/l/z/x/n in runtime.

Thanks for your help!!

The funny thing is that bold font [when message unread in message list] shows OK, ie in greek, but when i click on unread message, it is assumed to have been read, so it changes over to medium [non bold] and the encoding changes as well into the one that is not greek and thus unreadable. In ~/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc the fonts are:
widget_font=
message_font=-microsoft-sylfaenarm-medium-r-normal-*-*-160-*-*-p-*-iso8859-7
normal_font=-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-7
bold_font=-monotype-arial-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-7
small_font=-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-7
In /etc/gtk, for gtk1.2 apps the file refering to greek encoding [el] seems to be fine [exactly the same as in slackware 9.1].

Non-Latin Characters lead to finder distress.

One of the nicest features of Macintosh from the time I first played on an SE30 is the capacity to quickly type non-Latin characters. While to many this might not seem like a big deal, for me being able to write Tetris™ without a second thought is a great convenience.
So I was very surprised when I began typing µ in the Finder under Snow Leopard and didn't end up on a file that started with µ but rather on m. As if that wasn't irritating enough µ is not treated as m so the file becomes completely unreachable by alphabetic selection. This is something I use almost constantly in Finder so having a file unreachable is even worse than merely having the character interpreted incorrectly.
Just to be certain that this wasn't merely a flaw with that one character I examined other common characters.
ƒ, é, π, ∑ all suffer from the same problem, misinterpreted when typed and interpreted correctly during the comparison.
So the question is, “Is this an error in how I set up my machine, an error in the string comparison system, or an error in the Finder program?”

Yes, I just double checked, and I was in error, accented Latins do work as expected. I am certain that the inclusion of such in the prior list was a user error.
However the fact that the Greek key layout works begins to suggest the root of the problem.
Interestingly enough this also applies to the Greek layouts internal option modified keys.
I am strongly suspecting a bug here.

Issue Regarding Latin Characters - Accents and Symbols

I should first introduce myself - I'm a first-year student of database administration. Right now I'm learning the basics of java language.
The problem I'm facing here did not happen in past versions of JDK (Last one I used was 1.5.0 Update 6), but now, with version 1.5.0 Update 9 installed, it just won't go away.
This image pretty much illustrates my entire problem. Characters with accents and other latin symbols are not being displayed properly.
At first I thought it could be a JCreator-related problem, so I tried to manually compile and run the code using the command prompt. No luck. I also tried playing around with Windows's Regional language setting, even installed additional language packs, but nothing worked.
I tried reinstalling JDK and JRE, but the problem persists. I've looked around for answers, but nothing effective came up. I might be missing something really obvious, so excuse my ignorance, but can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

You should not use non-ASCII characters in source code because it's not portable; compilers in different locales will produce different output. In the Sun "javac" compiler there is command line flag you can use to set the input file encoding, but that likely doesn't help you since you are using an IDE. Perhaps a forum specific to your IDE can provide better help.
The portable way to write the program would be using "unicode escapes," for example you would write "\u00e9 \u00e1 \u00e0 \u00f3 \u00f2 \u00e3 \u00f5 \u00e7" instead of "� � � � � � � �". There is a command line tool to make this conversion automatically, and I suspect some IDEs too have support for this conversion.

Problem with characters in text field

hi all
i am missing a few characters, once i load text into a dynamic text field. chars are not missing per say; they are being replaced with empty squares.
characters like the euro sign and accentuated german a letter.
whats is weird is that other accentuated german letters do appear. so only a few selected are missing.
How ive set up the fla:
1) i've added 4 text fields to the stage in the font im using, Arial, one for each font style: normal, italic, bold and bold italic, and in all 4 fields ive embedded all latin characters (to include the german accentuaded characters and im guessing it's in the punctuation group that holds the euro sign, so that one is also embedded), besides lowercase, uppercase, numerical, and all the default groupd to include basic text.
2) i've got a dynamic text field, created with createTextField, and setup the following ActionScript (2):
this.createTextField("T_text",1,0,10,Stage.width-60,50);
var myFmt = new TextFormat();
myFmt.size = 12;
myFmt.leading = 3;
myFmt.font = "Arial";
T_text.html = true;
T_text.autoSize = "left";
T_text.multiline = true;
T_text.wordWrap = true;
T_text.selectable = false;
T_text.embedFonts = false;
T_text.textColor = "0x666666";
T_text.htmlText = _global.gallery_1_image_text_1; // this holds the text im displayed, called in from a database.
T_text.setNewTextFormat(myFmt);
now, im calling text from a database.
when calling the text from the browser url bar, there's no chars missing.
its just when i make this call from flash and load the text into the dynamic text field, that characters go missing.
below is a link to a print screen of the faulty text that is displayed in flash's dynamic text field.
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/340/utf8.png
any ideas? i mean, it seems that the arial font is missing a few accentuated characters! because the code i have setup loads other accentuated characters.
anyone has seen this issue before and know how to solve it?
regards

no.
you assigned your embedFonts property to be false.
look, you can test if you've embedded fonts correctly by using:
T_text._rotation=3;
if you see no text, you're not embedding fonts correctly.
so, use:
T_text.embedFonts=true;
and then test. if you see no text, use:
click on the upper right of your library panel > new Font > select Arial and tick the symbols you need to embed > tick export for actionscript and assign a linkage id (eg, ArialID). click ok. then use:
this.createTextField("T_text",1,0,10,Stage.width-60,50);
var myFmt = new TextFormat();
myFmt.size = 12;
myFmt.leading = 3;
myFmt.font = "ArialID";
T_text.html = true;
T_text.autoSize = "left";
T_text.multiline = true;
T_text.wordWrap = true;
T_text.selectable = false;
T_text.embedFonts = true;
T_text.textColor = 0x666666; // no quotes here. this is a number
T_text.htmlText = _global.gallery_1_image_text_1; // this holds the text im displayed, called in from a database.
T_text.setTextFormat(myFmt); // to format the above text, use setTextFormat(). if you want to format text added after this line, use setNewTextFormat()

Non latin characters in .cfm filename

Hi - I have users who want to name files with non latin characters. i.e.
Логотип_БелРусь_2500x1.cfm
We get a file not found error, it is not an IIS issue and we have UTF-8 encoding and are running CF8.
Yes we can rename the files but for now would like to know if non latin characters are allowed in .cfm file names.
Thank you!

Cannot create file with Non-latin characters- I/O

I'm trying to create a file w/ Greek (or any other non-latin) characters ... for use in a RegEx demo.
I can't seem to create the characters. I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong w/ IO.
The code follows. Any insight would be appreciated. - Thanks
import java.util.regex.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GreekChars{
     public static void main(String [ ] args ) throws Exception{
          int c;
          createInputFile();
//          String input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("GreekChars.txt")).readLine();
//          System.out.println(input);
          FileReader fr = new FileReader("GreekChars.txt");
          while( (c = fr.read()) != -1)
               System.out.println( (char)c );
     public static void createInputFile() throws Exception {
          PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("GreekChars.txt"));
          ps.println("\u03A9\u0398\u03A0\u03A3"); // omega,theta,pi,sigma
          System.out.println("\u03A9\u0398\u03A0\u03A3"); // omega,theta,pi,sigma

          fw.flush();
          fw.close();
// using a printstream to create file ... and BufferedReader to read
C:> java GreekChars
// using a Filewriter to create files .. and FileReader to read

Construct your file writer using a unicode format. If
you don't then the file is written using the platform
"default" format -probably ascii.
example:
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("GreekChars.txt",
"UTF-8");I don't know what version of FileWriter you are using, but not that I know of take two string parameters. You should try checking the API before trying to help someone, instead of just making things up.
To the OP:
The proper way to produce a file in UTF-8 format would be this:
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("filename"), "UTF-8");Then to read the file, you would use:
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("filename"), "UTF-8");

Chinese punctuation following English/Latin characters are not rendered

I'm displaying a mix of English and Chinese in the same paragraph. Whenever chinese punctuation (0xFE00 to 0xFE6F) is following latin characters (0x0000 to 0x00FF), the chinese punctuation is shown as "empty square". The punctuation displays correctly otherwise when not following latin characters.
It behaves the same on Windows and Mac. I'm using device 'Arial' font. You can see that in the two attachments. They're from the same <span>, the chinese comma (0xFE50) is not displayed in 'NotWorking.tiff' file, but displayed correctly in 'Working.tiff'.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

We're looking into this. Thank you for reporting it.

Unicode: non-Latin characters in identifiers and data

I would like to use Unicode escapes in identifiers, say create
a variable name that is Japanese. But I can't seem to get this
to work.
I have a product (Japanese Partner) that lets me key in latin
characters then converts these to Japanese (kana or Kanji,
depending on various options) in Unicode and passes them
to the input line.
But I can't get these to compile.
Also, if I code:
char Jletter = '\u2f80';
System.out.println("Jletter = " + Jletter);
The runtime output is:
Jletter = ?
I thought it was supposed to display as a Unicode escape.
TIA for any help.

Perhaps, but I'm going on:
"Programs are written in Unicode (�3.1), but lexical translations are provided (�3.2) so that Unicode escapes (�3.3) can be used to include any Unicode character using only ASCII characters."
Then ...
"3.2 Lexical Translations
A raw Unicode character stream is translated into a sequence of tokens, using the following three lexical translation steps, which are applied in turn:
1. A translation of Unicode escapes (�3.3) in the raw stream of Unicode characters to the corresponding Unicode character. A Unicode escape of the form \uxxxx, where xxxx is a hexadecimal value, represents the UTF-16 code unit whose encoding is xxxx. This translation step allows any program to be expressed using only ASCII characters.
2. A translation of the Unicode stream resulting from step 1 into a stream of input characters and line terminators (�3.4).
3. A translation of the stream of input characters and line terminators resulting from step 2 into a sequence of input elements (�3.5) which, after white space (�3.6) and comments (�3.7) are discarded, comprise the tokens (�3.5) that are the terminal symbols of the syntactic grammar (�2.3). "
I take this to mean you can Unicode escapes for Unicode characters. But
it doesn't seem to work, so maybe my understanding is deficient. Maybe
the docs need to be more clear.
