CSV is an ASCII text file format - it does not understand Unicode. What are you trying to achieve ?

Japanese and Russian characters are not displayed properly

I have a pdf file which has both russian and Japanese characters in it. Before I install Japanese font pack, the russian characters were displayed properly but for Japanese characters Junk characters are displayed. But once I installed Japanese font pack, Japanese fonts are displayed properly, but for Russian characters are displayed as junk characters. Please let us know if can display both font types simultaneously in a document or is there any work around for this ?

What is your Reader version?
If Reader X or earlier, did you also install the extended font pack?

Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks

Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks. The name looks like e.g. "??????? ???? cn.nytimes.com"
Chinese character of the site name is displayed ok in the head of the browser window and there is no problem reading chinese web content. I use Firefox Portable 11 /English from portableapps.com in Windows XP.
I googled and got some tips:
1) Set your browser to recognise Chinese language internet sites.
Windows users: Under "Tools - Options" on your browser's menu-bar add Chinese to the languages list.
- I did this.
2) Set your browser's "Character Set" or "Encoding" to UTF-8 (sometimes also called Universal Alphabet or Unicode).
Encoding settings can be changed under the "View" option in your browser's menu-bar.
- It was already set to UTF-8.
3) Windows users: If Chinese text still does not display correctly, East Asian language support may need to be enabled.
- This has been done when I installed Windows.
I still don't get any Chinese fonts in the bookmark names. I can edit the bookmark name with chinese characters and then save the bookmark, it works fine. But why does not Firefox recognize the characters when saving bookmarks? Help is appreciated.

No I didn't change anything deep beneath the hood. My problem didn't apply to the URL, but to the name of the link or bookmark header or whatever you would like to call it. (When hitting Ctrl + D there is a Name field). I only got ???????? instead of chinese characters in the name. Also for e.g. www.cntv.cn ...but maybe all China is not in the whitelist either. ;-) But anyway, this was not the real problem for me.
Apparently I was wrong as after a reboot of the computer it worked. The solution seemed to be to add Chinese to the language list. I don't know why it was not enough to restart Firefox?
Now I only have problems to show chinese characters in the name field of my external link manager... But I guess it is not an issue for Mozilla.

Hi,
It is a printer issue. The printer needs to be configured to support the Chinese chanracter set.
Normally when we are able to view the chinese characters properly in the print preview but not properly displayed on the output it is surely a printer problem.
This kind of problem we faced many times.

File is generated through a java bean at runtime and it is not stored pgysically.
If I copy these characters from somewhere to new xls file then it will be displayed properly.
Sample code which is used for setting headers is as below:
     protected void setContentType (
          HttpServletResponse     p_response
     ,     InstanceData          p_instancedata
          p_response.setHeader ("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
          p_response.setHeader ("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
          p_response.setHeader (
               "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename="
          +      p_instancedata.userId
          +      "_"
          +      System.currentTimeMillis ()
          +     ".csv"
          System.out.println("Content generator = ");
          p_response.setHeader("charset","utf-8");
          p_response.setContentType (EXCEL_CONTENT_TYPE);
For generating this xls file, format of data is XML. Means both request and response data will be in XML format.
Hope this information help in suggesting any solution for this problem.

Infotypes special characters are not displayed correctly

hi experts,
While entering names with special characters in infotypes it happens that some of them are not correctly displayed .
can you please help me out as soon as possible
thnx
harish

Thank you for your fast reply :)
The site is not online available unfortunately.
The character encoding used by Firefox is UTF-8 (automatically detected) which is correct. I even tried manually switching to other Chinese standards, but none of them brought a satisfieable result.
The site itself does not specify a font (the css only contains "font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Verdana;"), and the site does not provide a custom font either.
I noticed that if i copy and paste the text into word, the characters are wrongly displayed too using the font MS Mincho (so I assume Firefox automatically selects this font to display the characters which would explain why they are displayed incorrectly)
Ah, I now included the font "SimSun" in the css (which is installed on in windows and using this font the characters are displayed correctly in word) - and this solved he problem!
Thanks for your help!!

Chinese simple characters are not displayed correctly (Old (TW? HK?) style instead of modern characters)

We a currently trying to translate our software into Chinese and we noted that some of the chinese characters are displayed incorrectly (it seems the Taiwanese/Hongkong version is displayed instead of the modern simple character)
The problem exists in both Firefox 3.6 as well as 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 (we did not try with other versions yet)
The characters are displayed correctly in IE 9.x and Google Chrome 13.0.782.220 m and we are positive it is not a problem with the website itself.
I copied part of a screenshot on: http://stuff.schoellhammer.at/bsp.png
The bottom part is the character from the input scheme (correctly displayed) but once it is entered in firefox (top part), the left character is displayed in incorrectly.

Certain characters such as "-" in UTF-8 are not displayed correctly in file

Hi,
Has anyone else seen a similar scenario?
There are certain characters entered in the R/3 system (UTF-8) such as a and ("), which looks different then the normal dash or quotation, in a free form text field. The values of these fields are transferred through XI via abap proxy and written to a mainframe file via the file adapter. The default file encoding of our XI system is ISO-8859-1. When the file is created these characters are interpreted as a (?). When we change the encoding to UTF-8 in the receiver adapter, it translates the characters as (b.). When I write the file out to the file system with encoding UTF-8, everything looks normal.
Can anyone shed some light on this situation?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Duke

Hi Stefan,
To clarify, the (") the user is entering are curly quotes. I found this on google.
Windows ANSI (224 characters; since Win3.1). This adds the accented characters common in Western European languages (including vowels with acute, grave, circumflex and umlaut accents), plus some other typographical symbols like u201Ccurly quotesu201D, bullets, currency symbols etc. The additional 126 characters above the ASCII set are called u201CUpper ANSIu201D.
This is a flat file using content conversion on the receiver file adapter. In SXMB_MONI it looks correct. If I do a view source, I can see that the quotations are the "curly quotes" and not the same as when I enter the character.
Best Regards,
Duke

Why after exporting PDF to Word some characters are not displaying accurately.

I exported a PDF to Word and it changed the case of some of the characters from upper case to lower case and even changed the font. In some areas the kerning is wonky too. What do I need to do differently?

Very likely you are not needing to change anything. Some variation in output can be found depending on the data structure of the file involved.
Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and formatting information?Adobe ExportPDF is capable of exporting high quality information, but the quality of your Word document depends on the quality of the PDF file you start with. For instance, if your PDF file was originally authored in Microsoft Word and converted to PDF using the PDF Maker functionality in Adobe Acrobat® software, your PDF file contains a rich set of information that can be captured by Adobe ExportPDF. This includes relative positioning of tables, images, and even multicolumn text, as well as page, paragraph, and font attributes. If your PDF file was originally authored using simpler PDF generation methods, such as “print to PDF” or “scan to PDF” options, Adobe ExportPDF will convert any recognizable text and then use sophisticated conversion intelligence to preserve as much of the page layout as possible.

[solved] Emacs in X windows - Characters are not displayed

Emacs works fine when run with -nw.
But when I run it without, in X Windows, emacs does not display characters properly. It just displays those whites boxes with the black borders. The ones you see when you're trying to view characters for which you don't have the right font.
I installed XEmacs, and that worked fine. I don't understand why the normal Emacs doesn't.
I'll post a screenshot when I'm home from work, but you should get the gist of the problem.
Last edited by Weeks (2007-05-05 23:18:59)

Yeah I figured that out when I got back home. It was my own fault for running emacs from Run Program in xfce instead of from the Terminal.
However, I've installed that package along with the 75dpi one and it still doesn't work. I even ran fc-cache again just to be sure. Weird.
The error is "Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct" So perhaps it's a fontconfig problem. Both fontconfig and freetype2 as up-to-date. Hmm.
[EDIT] I restared X and everything worked. Thanks. I've updated the wiki with the information. I'll send a diff to the maintainer at some point; the PKGBUILD should really tell the user that he/she needs to install these fonts if using X windows

Specific characters are not displayed

Hi I'm encountering the following problem:
Although I managed to display Greek characters in my wap application some characters are displayed
as a square followed by ?.Can you help me.I can't figure out what the problem might be.
Thanks in advance.

If the display is using a java GUI (I dont know much about WAP apps), you can determine what characters are supported by a font using 'Font.canDisplayUpTo (String)'. For example:
Font font = somethingToGetYourFont ();
String charlist="\u0391\u0392\u0393..."; // Greek character set as unicode escapes
int index = font.canDisplayUpTo (charlist);
if (index==-1)
// can display all characters in the string
else
// fails on character #index
}

Japanese characters are not displayed properly - Crystal Report XI

Hello,
We are upgrading reports from CR8 to CR11.
When I preview the CR8 report I can see the Japanese Characters (Coming from Database).
After saving the CR8 report as CR11 report, When I preview the report I cannot see the Japanese Character which I was able to see in CR8.
Why I am seeing unknown characters in CR11? When CR8 displays Japanese, then CR11 should display right?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Special characters are not displaying in ADF jsp page

Hi All,
By using ADF view controller,I am getting the data from database table but when I display the data in jsp page after special character < what ever the data is there it is not displaced.Provide any suggestions.
Thanks in Advance
Mani

Hi Mani,
< is a special HTML character and obviously it may not me displayed correctly.
Here is a reference of all HTML special characters: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp
In your case you can replace < with its special symbol representation - *&#60; or &lt;*
I also advice you to do so for all special HTML characters.
You can use this Java library for that purpose : http://commons.apache.org/lang/api/org/apache/commons/lang3/StringEscapeUtils.html
