[SOLVED] dvorak layout, polish characters

Hello everyone, thats my first post here.
first of all, im using dvorak.
I tried searching on forums but found nothing on keywords "pl" "dvorak" "polish" etc.
So i decided to ask: i'm running on fluxbox. In console,  when i press alt + s,a,o etc. it gives me normal polish chars, but after xinit, it does not.
in xterm i get some weird things, in aterm nothing. I cant use polish characters even in firefox, but it shows them with no problems, when they are on pages.
PS. my locales etc are set like "polonization" tutorial shows, i turn dvorak with setxkbmap dvorak (did shortcut for that, and for "us" in fluxbox menu.)

  • [SOLVED] No polish characters during boot with DAEMON_LOCALE=YES

    Hello, it didn't bother me much before cause I always had DAEMON_LOCALE=NO, but with recent upgrade new rc.conf was introduced with DAEMON_LOCALE set by default to YES. Now my messages are like this:
    Checking Filesystems    [BUSY] /dev/sda2: czysty, 183465/647168 plików, 2083335/2588473 bloków
    Questions are: is it supposed to be half message in english half in polish? and how to repair those missing characters? (loading console font is done after those messages)
    BTW this is on virtualbox guest with all testing + kde-unstable repos enabled

    I have tried that and still no luck:
    1. Edit CONSOLE* settings in /etc/rc.conf
    [root@dog etc]# grep ^CONSOLE rc.conf
    CONSOLEFONT="lat2-16"
    CONSOLEMAP="8859-2"

    [root@dog etc]# grep ^HOOKS mkinitcpio.conf
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect sata filesystems fsck consolefont keymap"
    3. Run mkinitcpio
    [root@dog etc]# mkinitcpio -p linux

    ==> Image generation successful
    I have dug the problem deeper and checked what is going on in the /etc/rc.* scripts. Everything seems to be in order, but the loading of consolefont/keymap on boot is not having any effect in my case:
    1. System boots, then
    2. Loging in as root
    3. Typing in some Polish pangram as test: zażółć gęślą jaźń
    4. Observing lack of Polish diacritics printed
    5. Re-executing the rc.sysinit steps releated to consolefont/keymap settings:
    # source /etc/rc.conf
    # source /etc/rc.d/functions
    # set_consolefont
    :: Loading Console Font: lat2-16
    6. Trying the Polish pangram test again.
    7. Success, all Polish characters are rendered correctly.
    Here is screenshot which presents the simple test explained above:
    Now, this test suggests to me that the rc.sysinit procedure of configuring consolefont/keymap seems correct.
    However, something seems to get messed during rc.sysinit, so the configuration is later overriden and doesn't persist afterwards.
    Does anyone have an idea what may be wrong? Does it qualify to be reported as a bug?

  • Oracle Report, How to Display Polish Characters in a PDF Output

    Environment :
    Oracle Application Server version 10.1.2.0.2 on Red Hat 4 Enterprise (Kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3 , 32 bit) Oracle Database Version 10.2.0.3.0 Our character set of database is UTF8
    I have trouble to display polish characters in Reports Output. We develop on Windows XP machines. I can see the Polish Caharacters in the Reports Builder using several fonts (arial, arial unicode, Times new roman, verdana...) during design time or when running with the paper layout. But when the report deployed to application server running on the linux, the polish characters are replaced by symbols.
    Even under Windows, when I select 'generate to a PDF' file option, the characters are not displayed correctly (When I open the generated PDF file with Acrobat reader and go to Document Properties / Fonts, I see the Fonts are always replaced with Adobe Sans MM)
    Using the Forms Applications running on the same application server we have no trouble dealing/displaying with the characters (Ąą ĆćĘę Ł ł ŃńÓóŚ ś Ź ź Ż ż ß Đ đ € )
    NLS_LANG setting is AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 on the Linux Box and AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1250 is on the Development machines. (have tried a number of different NLS_LANG settings on the development box as well with no luck).
    Any direction would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    You have several different approaches to fix this problem. First of all, you would be able to generate the PDF output with Font Subsetting setup and be able to see the Polish characters correctly when running the output with destype=cache&desformat=pdf. The following metalink documents would guide you with this setup :
    Note.207711.1 "How to Use Font Subsetting in Reports 9i and 10g for PDF Output"
    As at design time you use many different Windows specific fonts, I also advice you to check the following document :
    Note.356221.1 "A Practical Methodology on Porting Reports from Windows to Unix with Different Fonts"
    Once the PDF output is generated properly with correct characters, then if you need to use "destype=printer" for direct print, rather than "destype=cache" to display the output in browser, then you can use the "PDFPrint" pluggable destination, which is located in :

  • Polish characters on print preview are not correct, printing works well

    Hi gurus,
    i've got a problem with smartform print preview. Our programmer developed form, which is used in polish and english version. In polish version everything works fine - print and print preview has polish characters (ąłćźń etc). In english version, print preview has no polish characters in address paragraph, but when I print it, everything is on his place.
    Unfortunetly, system is non-unicode. I tried changing font to other (but in polish version with the same font, print preview is correct), changing size, even charset of printer. Works badly on I2SWIN, HP-PCL, and any other printer type.
    What should I do now? Removing polish letters or changing them into "normal" is not acceptable solution, especially that printing works fine (on I2SWIN and HP PCL type also).
    Polish is of course installed on the system.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Martin,
    another thought to solve the issue is to translate the form to pl in your system. I got a similar issue some time ago.
    I developed the form in DE and translated it just to English, because we wanted to set always English.
    Problem was, that french characters didn't show up in a proper way in print-preview. We solved the issue by translating the form also in FR and IT.
    It seemed, that the formlanguage passed just the native charactersets for this language.
    Maybe you are having the same issue. Otherwise would be nice, if you can share your solution if there is another one here

  • Printing polish characters on form

    I added some polish text in a standard textfield.
    For example:
    Ilość
    Numer zamówienia zakupu
    Podpis wystawiającego fakturę
    This polish text is perfectly visible on Adobe Forms design view.
    But during runtime, the polish characters are not visible anymore (instead an empty space is shown).
    I tried with different fonts (Arial, Verdana) and different formats (Plain Text Only, Rich text), but nothing seems to work.
    What could be the problem ?
    Thanks

  • Problem with printing Polish characters on paper printouts.

    Scenario..1
    Text Module TM being used in smartform. TM uses a style which has font ARIAL.
    TM is translated into 2 languages English and Polish.
    The English version contains Polish characters too, since a couple of Person names have to be printed.
    When the form is printed in Polish language : The Polish characters are previewed and printed correctly
    When the form is printed in English language : The Polish characters are previewed correctly but not printed correctly
    Both the above use the same printer having support for Polish fonts.. so i am asssuming the printer is not the issue here.. i could be wrong.
    Kindly advice.

    Hi!
    In which way is the output transferred?
    Something like:
    a)
    ESC 'times new roman'
    My text
    b) already converted into a picture with a specific resolution (e.g. of 300dpi)?
    Case a) -> Your printer needs an installed font times new roman / it's using the first installed font or something in this way. Then you need to download a special (user-) font with polish characters. (That's a quite common way. Sometimes already then vendor installs an user font as preparation for some countries.)
    Case b) -> No idea, when print preview is already OK, then output should be OK, too.

  • Polish characters are garbled during PDF conversion

    Hi,
    I am facing problem with polish characters while converting spool to pdf in smartform. I have configured the new printer with device type I2SWIN with respective codepage. The preview of pdf in SAP is fine but when it is sent as an attachment in email or converted  through program RSTXPDFT4, the polish characters are garbled.
    I have already searched SDN for this but didnt find any soolution pertaining to my problem.
    Please suggest a solution.
    Regards
    Abhimanyu.

    Hello,
    Is your system a unicode system?
    If so perhaps the Cascading Fonts might be useful for you (see SAP note 812821).
    Cascading Font means that the PDF converter checks each character
    of the text. For each character it determines the Unicode
    character range, to which the character belongs. After this
    it checks the SAP font name and determines, which PDF font
    shall be used for this SAP font and the Unicode character range.
    (see SAP note 999712)
    You should get and install the device type SWINCF from note 812821, as
    it is described in note 812821 (you must first apply the latest code
    correction of note 812821).

  • Sapscript and Standard Text - Polish Characters not printing

    Hi,
    I have created an English Sapscript and translated it to Polish via transaction SE76.
    Changing my PC Region and Language settings to Polish allowed me to enter Polish Characters into Hardcoded text in the Sapscript and Standard Text via s010.
    I have two problems:
    1) With my PC Region and Language settings set to Polish, when I create my sapscript output some of the polish characters that I have entered via SE76 and SO10 do not appear and are replaced by others e.g.
    ę is dispalyed as ê
    ć is displayed as æ
    ń is displazed as #
    2) I have a business requirement to be in England Logged with PC Region and Language set to English but to print a sapscript output in Polish. Is this possible.
    We are currently on non unicode SAP system.
    Please can anyone advise.
    Regards

    Hello,
    SAP discourages mixed code page or MDMP systems and with good reason. If there is any possibility of you upgrading to a Unicode system in the near future you should try to wait for it. Supporting multiple languages in Unicode is easy, in MDMP it can be quite tricky. And MDMP makes the move to Unicode more difficult.
    That said, your BASIS team can enable Polish and you can print in Polish while your PC is set for English. The SAPScript/Form must be in Polish or using an INCLUDE that is LANGUAGE 'PL' to let SAP know which code page to use when printing.
    Seriously, look at moving to Unicode, you need to do it eventually anyways.

  • Acrobat SDK 9.1 - custom plugin - Polish Characters issue

    Hi,
    I hope any of you will be able to help me out as we are having small issue.  We are developing a plug-in that will digitally sign only XML prior to posting via webservice. This plug-in is developed for Adobe Reader 9.1 and we are using Adobe Acrobat SDK 9.1 to develop it.  This plug-in needs to support Polish characters, so the plug-in will be compiled with _UNICODE directive.  We are running into a Polish Character issue where Polish Characters are not being displayed in the plug-in popup.  Would you be able to tell us how is the Acrobat SDK dealing with this (as it is using std:string and not any type of wide string format), what type of params will get simple functions (like AVAlertNote).
    We are also using the JS bridge to export data from the fdf form (using exportXFAData).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you,

    You should be using ASText objects when working with Unicode.

  • Polish characters are overwriting in PDF mail

    Hi All,
    I am mailing a PDF document which is genereated through a SAP script in which some polish characters are being used . The problem is when i am cretating PDF through spool  , polish characters are printing fine but when i am creating PDF through FM 'CONVERT_COMM_TYPE_DATA' some polish charactes are overwring with each other .
    Please let me know if you have any inputs on this issue.
    Regards,
    Anand.

    Sometimes the printer thru which the spool is created will also make the characters print overlapped.
    check the characterset on the printerdevice you use for creating the pdf that should support the polish characters.
