You are in command line mode on Windows,unfortunately a different characterset in NLS_LANG is required here. The characterset you specified works for Windows GUI only. Read this chapter from NLS_LANG Faq:

(I guess you need EE8PC852).

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

Polish characters

Hi
I want to connect to Oracle 9i from application in c#, select some data, and write to MS SQL 2008.
Everything work fine, but in results i don't have any polish characters. When i execute select form SQL PLUS, there are polish characters.
My code:
OracleConnection conn = MUtility.getOracleConnection();
conn.Open();
string sql = "select ... from ..."
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(sql, conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
OracleDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (rdr.Read())
Console.WriteLine(rdr.GetString(1));
}

What is the characterset of your database?
Most of the time we see this complaint, sqlplus (for example) was used to insert characters into a database characterset that doesnt support the characters being used, then sqlplus was used to select the characters which ended up the way they started, so it's assumed theyre stored correctly. That's not a valid test though. You need to make sure
a) the database characterset can validly encode the characters you're using, and
b) the characters are stored as a valid codepoint within that characterset.
You can use the DUMP command to see what the encoding and characterset is.. for example.
SQL> select dump(ename,1016) from emp where rownum=1;
DUMP(ENAME,1016)
Typ=1 Len=5 CharacterSet=WE8MSWIN1252: 53,4d,49,54,48
SQL>
If you check the we8mswin1252 codepage, you'll see those are valid code points for "SMITH"
Hope it helps,
Greg

[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.)

Hi, I have a problem using Desktop Intelligence to read Czech or Polish characters.
In my database I have stored this characters. They exist. I can see them using SQL Developer.
My DB is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
NLS_Charachterset is WE8MSWIN1252
Our BO version is XI R2
I have edited the files: oracle.prm
                                    oracle.sbo
                                    cs.cfg
adding <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>
In regedit, I edit NLS_LANG to GERMAN_GERMANY.UTF8
In Universe, I have a parameter called UNICODE_STRINGS set to Yes
I have done changes in my local PC and in the BO server.
But when I run the report, I cannot see this special czech or polish characters. I cannot even see them in Designer==>Show values of table
What can I do? Please help

Also wanted to add that:
- Field which contains czech and polish characters is NVARCHAR2
- in DB==>NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
                 NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252

You could just try changing your Input Sources under System Preferences>Language & Text:
But I kind of doubt that's going to work. It may be a hardware problem or a system problem. If you take it into Apple they might be able to determine which and might advise a reinstallation of System software. I would take it to an Apple Store or an AASP but, first, make sure that you have a backup just in case they suggest a clean install of the system.
Good luck,

How to show Greek characters in Italic style

How to show Greek characters in Italic style
Hi all, I'm tryng to resolve a problem with the Greek characters
I need to display labels in two languages, english or greek inside my report.
At the beginning of the report I have a placeholder with the xml code : *<?param@begin:p_language?>*, so I can understand inside my report if the user chose the Greek or English, and then I have many placeholders (labels) which have to be written in Greek or English.
If the language chosen is English, I don't have any problem to show my labels bold or italic in every fonts
Inside the placeholder I wrote the following code:
*<?xdofx:if $p_language = 'Ελληνικά' then 'Οργανισμός' else if $p_language = 'Αγγλικά' then 'Organization' end if?>*
I can chose font, style and bold/not bold directly from Word and when I run the report in pdf I see exactly what I chose.
If the language chosen is Greek....I see always the label in Arial, NOT BOLD and NOT ITALIC...
In order to see Greek characters BOLD:
a) I added (under the ADMIN tab/Runtime Configuration/Font Mappings/ ) a font named Arial and I addeda target Font named Arialbd.ttf under the directory: D:\Oracle\Oracle_Homes\BIP_101341\jdk\jre\lib\fonts
b) I changed the font (from word) to Arial
Now, ONLY with tha ARIAL font I can see my labels in greek bold, but I can't still see them in italic style.....
So, I tried to force these condition inside the placeholder with the following code:
*<?if:$p_language = 'Ελληνικά'?><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font">Times New Roman</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font-style">Italic</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="color">red</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>Οργανισμός<?end if?>*
...but I continue to see the labels in Greek only bold, red but not in Italic Style......
Also adding another font called Arialbi.ttf (Arial bold Italic)...I can't see my labels in Greek bold with Italic Style....
Anybody had the same problem with another alphabet different from the latin one ???
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Alex

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 :

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.

Christian

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).
Regards,
David
