[SOLVED] Can't display extended unicode

Hello,
My arch install cannot render extended unicode characters. Example:
http://i.imgur.com/3VNpkkI.png
I first though it was a font issue, but this website tells me that I have many, many fonts that should display that character:
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode … %2B0CA0%29
It renders nowhere on my system. Not on firefox, not on terminal, not on gedit, nothing. I am sure it is not a font issue, as I have tried Arial, Times New Roman, DejaVu sans and other that are suppsed to have extended Unicode support.
Here is the output of locale:
[03:46:05 ~]$ locale
LANG=en_CA.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_CA.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_CA.utf8
LC_TIME=en_CA.utf8

The JSP WYSIWYG Editor can't display most Unicode characters

Eclipse supports display of Unicode characters very well since version 3. However, NitroX couldn't display most most of them. Well, besides characters from other non-Western European languages, NitroX can't even display characters that it's supposed to support. Well, that's what I think so. I mean, when we type the & character, we have the whole list of character entity references amongst which we could find &and; ∇ &or; → but which are not displayed correctly. And many more are in this case.
Is this a feature or a bug? By "feature", it means that we can't get them in free version.

I have exactly the same problem. I support web pages for 25 European countries. I've not seen Nitrox support any unicode characters. Until M7 answers this question or fixes the editor, you can use the Eclipse editor to see and edit the text.

Can't display non-unicode font

When I try to use Symbol font and display it in JLabel, it show a square.
i have read the article written by John O'Conner
http://www.joconner.com/javai18n/articles/TextDisplay.htm.
Thanks for providing those valuable information. it does help to understand some international issue.
however, I am not sure if it apply to Symbol font such as Wingdings, webdings.
    Font fontPalatino = new Font( "Palatino LinoType", Font.PLAIN, 25); //unicode font
    Font fontMapInfo = new Font( "MapInfo Transportation", Font.PLAIN, 25); // non-unicode font
    Font fontWingdings = new Font( "Wingdings", Font.PLAIN, 25);
          // use integer number and convert into equivalent character
          // e.g. if i is 65 then c is A.
          // notes: 65 is a decimal value converted from hex 0041 value
          int i = 65;
          char c = (char)i;
          System.out.println( new Character(c).toString() );
          JLabel jlbl = new JLabel();
          jlbl.setFont(fontSymbol);
          jlbl.setText( new Character(c).toString() );1) I can't display any Wingdings font , any expert can help on this?
2) what is the difference between 0021(character code for Arial font) and 0x21(character code for Wingdings font) shown in character map?

When I try to use Symbol font and display it in
JLabel, it show a square.
i have read the article written by John O'Conner
http://www.joconner.com/javai18n/articles/TextDisplay.htm.
Much of that article is now incorrect or unnecessary for JDK 1.5. Because 1.5 knows how to find a font for the character you're trying to display, you should be able to set your label font to any logical font, and the JRE should find a substitute font if necessary that can display the character.
I'll give your code a try and will post results...is the code you've posted the code I should actually experiment with? It seems like you should want to display something different than 0x0065.
Your other questions:
0x0021 is the exclamation mark regardless of font. I see what you mean, however, since the wingdings font in charmap also says 0x0021. However, that mapping is obviously not a Unicode code point mapping.
I looked in the Misc. Symbols and Dingbats section of Uncode. A few characters might be a reasonable substitution for the pencil character you want:
0x270E (LOWER RIGHT PENCIL)
0x270F (PENCIL)
0x2710 (UPPER RIGHT PENCIL)
I didn't see any mirror images of these, ie LOWER LEFT PENCIL and UPPER LEFT PENCIL, although I admit that I didn't look closely.
Maybe one of these will work for you instead of the Wingdings 0x21 character you mentioned.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

I can confirm the odd character display. Xterm will display the problem Unifont characters, but there are column alignment problems at all but a few point sizes. Many of the glyphs require two columns, but I don't know what difficulties that presents for font designers or terminal emulator programmers.
Very few monospace fonts include these seldom used arrow symbols. If you truly need the arrows, you might try Everson Mono or Code2000 from the AUR. They include some of the glyphs in the problem range.

EPM11.1.1.1 Data Prep Editor Can't Display non-Unicode text

I open data file, Chinese can not be displayed , but I can mannuly input Chinese.
Display unicode text is OK, cannot load, so I change cube to unicode mode, Load data is OK. but DIM(informatica) cannot see the unicode application.

Hi Bruce,
for GeoRaster themes you can define a specific pyramid level to render, or you can leave the pyramid level null on the theme definition, and in this case MapViewer calculates the best level to render. The second option is recommended as it avoids loading unnecessary data given the current display parameters. If you are seeing your image get blocked, most likely at this zoom level and up you have reached the highest pyramid level of the GeoRaster. Even in MapBuilder if you keep zoom in, you get a blocked image after reaching the highest resolution level.

Do numerical indicators display extended precision floats correctly?

I'm using windows XP sp2 on a new computer with a new intel processor, nothing weird. I'm displaying an extended precision floating point number using a numeric indicator that is set to display an extended data type with thirty digits of precision. I expect to see at least 19 or 20 significant digits out of my extended precision float, but the numeric indicator only ever displays 17 significant digits before going to a trail of zeros. Does the display routine that converts the float to a display string use double precision or what?
global variables make robots angry

Yes, I understand what you are saying and you are completely correct. The problem I have is not that I expect a mathematically perfect representation of a number, but rather that LabVIEW calculates and produces an 80-bit extended precision number on my computer and then appears to convert it to a 64-bit representation of that number before displaying it!
If you convert the extended precision value into an unflattened string in order to attempt to access the binary representation of the data, you’ll find that it is represented by 80-bits. This is a 64-bit fraction plus a 15-bit exponent plus one bit for the sign. Delightfully, the flatten to string function appears to scramble the bits into “noncontiguous” pieces, so about all I can tell for certain is that we have, as expected, an 80-bit extended precision number in memory. The documentation for the other number-to-Boolean array and bit manipulation functions I looked at (even the exponent-mantissa function) all claim to only be able to handle a maximum input of a 64-bit number (double precision float max) -correct me if I’m wrong on this one, because I’d really like to be able to see the contiguous binary representation of 80-bit extended floats.
It turns out though that what you said about not being able to tell whether we have twenty digits of precision without bit fiddling is not true at all. If you look at the program I wrote, you can prove with simple addition and subtraction that beyond the shadow of a doubt the extended numbers are being stored and calculated with twenty digits of precision on my computer yet being displayed with less precision.
As you can plainly see in the previous example I sent:
A =          0.1111111111
B =         0.00000000001111111111
A+B=C= 0.11111111111111111111
We know that
C-A=B
The actual answer we get is
C-A=0.00000000001111111110887672
Instead of the unattainable ideal of
C-A=0.00000000001111111111
The first nineteen digits of the calculated answer are exactly correct. The remainder of the actual answer is equal to 88.7672% of the remainder of the perfect answer, so we effectively have 19.887672 digits of accuracy.
That all sounds well and good until you realize that no individual number displayed on the front panel seems to be displayed with more than 16-17 significant digits of accuracy.
As you see below, the number displayed for the value of A+B was definitely not as close to being the right answer as the number LabVIEW stores internally in memory.
A+B=0.11111111111111111111 (the mathematically ideal result)
A+B=0.111111111111111105     (what LabVIEW displays as its result)
We know darned well that if the final answer of A+B-A was accurate to twenty digits, then the intermediate step of A-B did not have a huge error in the seventeenth or eighteenth digit! The value being displayed by LabVIEW is not close to being the value in the LabVIEW variable because if it were then the result of the subtract operation would be drastically different!
0.11111111111111110500       (this is what LabVIEW shows as A+B)
0.11111111110000000000       (this is what we entered and what LabVIEW shows for A)
0.00000000001111110500    (this is the best we can expect for A+B-A)
0.00000000001111111110887672 this is what LabVIEW manages to calculate.
The final number LabVIEW calculates magically has extra accuracy conjured back into it somehow! It’s more than 1000 times more accurate than a perfect calculation using the corrupted value of A+B that the display shows us – the three extra digits give us three orders of magnitude better resolution than should be possible unless LabVIEW is displaying a less accurate version of A+B than is actually being used!
This would be like making a huge mistake at the beginning of a math problem, and then making a huge mistake at the end and having them cancel each other out. Except imagine getting that lucky on every answer on every question. No matter what numbers I plug into my LabVIEW program, the intermediate step of A+B has only about 16-17 digits of accuracy, but miraculously the final step of A+B-A will have 19-20 digits of accuracy. The final box at the bottom of the program shows why.
If you convert the numbers to double and use doubles to calculate the final answer, you only get 16-17 digits of accuracy. That’s no surprise because 16 digits of accuracy is about as good as you’re gonna do with a 64-bit floating point representation. So it’s no wonder all the extended numbers I display appear to only have the same accuracy as a 64-bit representation because the display routine is using double precision numbers, not extended precision.
This is not cool at all. The indicator is labeled as being able to accept an extended precision number and it allows the user to crank out a ridiculous number of significant digits. There is no little red dot on the input wire telling me, ‘hey, I’m converting to a less accurate representation here, ok!’ Instead, the icon shows me ‘EXT’ for ‘Hey, I’m set to extended precision!’
The irony is that the documentation for the addition function indicates that it converts input to double. It obviously can handle extended.
I’ve included a modified version of the vi for you to tinker with. Enter some different numbers on the front panel and see what I mean.
Regardless of all this jazz, if someone knows the real scoop on the original question, please end our suffering: Can LabVIEW display extended floating point numbers properly, or is it converting to double precision somewhere before numerals get written to the front panel indicator?

Unicode character can't display in smartforms.

Hi everybody!
When I type some unicode character (like ổ ữ...) into a text in smartforms, that character can't display it converted to "?". I don't know how to display it.
Thank!

Make sure you use Cyrillic fonts for displaying unicode characters.
Mostly, if you preview this character on non-unicode enable printer it may display as junk character.
Close the thread once your question is answered.

Can my computer display 'extended desktop' with a second monitor?

I believe I have a G4 Quicksilver 867 (2001) (bought it used and figuring out which model G4 is not that easy). I recently got a second monitor, but I only seem to have the option to have a mirrored setup (which works well). Is there anything I can do or rather what are my options to get it to show extended desktop. My video card is
Chipset Model: GeForce2 MX
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 32 MB
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0110
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: 1049
Will I have to get a new graphics card or is there a workaround of some sort?

Thanks, not what I wanted to hear, but helpful. hope you'll answer a couple of questions. I bought this computer as a second (do taxes, surf the internet, connected to my wireless router, escape my three kids wanting to use the primary). I've been very happy with it for its limited use (my primary is one of the first Imac G5's).
1st: Do you think it's worth putting a faster processor in it? My G5 has the latest OS, but I'm hesitant to go past 10.411 with the G4 867
2nd: Would you recommend a video card update to run extended desktop?
3rd: Can you run extended desktop on the original IMAC G5's (1.8 ghz, GeForce FX 5200, 64 mb ram)?

Ah, that explains why i see "European Set"....

How can i display Waveform chart in a subpanel using Vi templates.

Hi All
I am new to Labview hence need some help. I am trying to develop an application which reads some data from a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The WSN consists of base station connected to the USB port which recieves data from other sensor nodes. The data comes in a certain format. Node name, temperature reading, humidity reading etc. I want to read the data from the serial port and based on the Node name, i want to display the information for each node in s separate window or subpanel etc. So if a new node is detected then a new window is created for that node. Since all the nodes have the same sensors on board i only need a one template. I can read the data using the serial port, parse the data to detect which node it is and also what the sensor readings are. I have created a template VI for the sensor node. I am having problems in displaying the template VIs in a subpanel. I can succesfully display a Waveform graph in the subpanel but i am having problems in displaying a waveform chart in the subpanel. I can see the actual waveform chart in the subpanel, but i cannot see the plot. Would be greatful if someone could point out what i am doing wrong here.
Many Thanks

How can I display a changing variable in a subvi on the front panel of the main vi as the subvi is excuting

In the document attached the vi on the right is sub to the vi on the left. On the subvi on the right the variable "Field Reading" is continuously updated on the front panel of the subvi as the "for" loop is executed, but only the last value of the variable is updated on the main vi front panel which is what is expected. My question is how can I display the changing value of "Field Reading" on the main vi front panel as the "for" loop in the subvi is running?
Thank you.

Hopefully I can explain it well enough. It really is simple.
1) Create an empty global variable and call it something like User Interface References.vi
2) For each and every control and indicator on your front panel, right-click and select Create/Reference
3) Place these references wherever you like (I use a series of Event cases to perform my initialisation and these all live in one of these event cases). They can be placed anywhere in the main vi.
4) For each of the references, right-click and select Create/Indicator
5) Moving to the front panel, Cut all the indicators and Paste them in the global variable (eg. User Interface References.vi)
6) Moving back to the block diagram, wire the global variable to each of the references and select the same named global variable.
All the hard work is now done (until you add another user interface terminal). You should now have something that look as shown below, [except the reference labels would be to the left (not sure why the snippet put them above)]. In my latest program I have 82 references!
Done. You can now access all your front panel controls and indicators anywhere in your program as shown below.
You can just select Value in most cases, but in this particular case I wanted to fire off an Event to do some things (log the alarm) as well as just update the value. So, this is another bonus with the method.
Hopefully this all makes sense. If not, let me know.

How can I display all content (graphics)

On Skynet (United airlines employee website), when I try to look at the "seat selection" window, it displayes only numbers, it does not display a graphic of the cabin (seats). How can I display all content?

You can see that it is a font issue by the appearance of the little boxes with the hex code of the characters that Firefox displays when there is no font that covers this Unicode range. You might see a different character in case you would have a font that maps this font.

How can I display Excel document saved as html in ebDynpro Office Contol?

Hello,
I have a problem with displaying of Excel document saved as html inside WebDynpro Office Control.
Could you explain why OfficeControl cannot display Excel document with content type =text/htm?
How you know, control must be bound to binary data. And then mime type is set as
bin.setMimeType(new WebResourceType("html", "text/html", false));
The empty document is displayed always.
Nevertheless, excel file is displayed perfect, when
bin.setMimeType(new WebResourceType("xls ", "application/msexcel", false));

The OfficeControl UI element is made available as an ActiveX control, so that the UI element can be displayed in browsers that support ActiveX controls.
The ActiveX control enables display of the following documents:
1.Microsoft Word documents with the doc file extension
2.Microsoft Excel documents with the xls file extension
This is the reason why document with other content types are not displayed.
Data source must be bound to binary data because files are read as bytes in this scenario.
Hope this helps you.
Do let me know if your problem is solved.

Vijith
