URGENT --- Unicode support in Forms 6i

Hi,
I am using Forms 6i on Windows 2000. I have set the input locale of my OS to Hindi (Indian language) and the Keyboard layout also to the same. When I am using Forms Runtime to enter data, whatever I type is getting shown as ? (question marks). But if I type in Arabic (by setting the keyboard layout and the input locale), it is displaying the characters properly. I am using Arial MS Unicode font. I tried copying the character from character map and pasted it in the input box in Forms Runtime. Then it is allowing correctly. My NLS_LANG on the client side is American_America.UTF8 and the database character set is also UTF8.
Can somebody say how to implement this?
Thanks
Ganesh

Adobe Reader for Blackberry Does Not Support Fillable Forms

I've discovered that the version released for Android does support fillable forms, but the version for Blackberry does not. I assume Blackberry did not develop the app so what gives?

Mehwish,
Thank you so much for responding, and so quickly. I appreciate it.
It does not appear as though the PDF I am trying to read would have an element in it that would block it from reflow, but that is always possible. It’s a textbook, and I understand that toward the end of the book there are some charts and diagrams, but I haven’t gotten to those chapters yet. So far, I’ve just been trying to use the Adobe Reader to read the introduction and first chapter and nothing I have done has made it reflow.
I’m enclosing a copy of the entire book. Perhaps you can uncover something in it that I didn’t see.
Thanks again for you help.

How to know whether my oracle 10g instalation in unicode supported or not

Hi
i am new to oracle. I have installed Oracle 10g client and server.
I want to know whether the database created can store unicode data/arabic data.
Please guide me how can i find whether unicode support is on for my db or not.
The outputs of some of the queries run by me are as follows:
SQL> HOST ECHO $NLS_LANG;
$NLS_LANG
SQL> HOST ECHO %NLS_LANG%;
%NLS_LANG%
SQL> @.[%NLS_LANG%];
SP2-0310: unable to open file ".[AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252]"
SQL> select cust_eng_name,cust_arb_name from custmast;
select cust_eng_name,cust_arb_name from custmast
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Please reply me asap.

1. Yeh that is the thing I want. What are the other steps that i need to do with my Oracle Client/Server for unicode support.
Where i am getting trouble is the Oracle Client/Server unicode support.
And how to decide what character set will suite me best.1. If your application is going to be a "true" Unicode application, you can set the NLS_LANG registry/environment setting on your clients to ".UTF8" to enable true Unicode support.
2. Your database needs to support Unicode, too.
The recommended database character set for this in 10g is "AL32UTF8".
If you currently have a single-byte database character set (WE8MSWIN1252), you need to decide how to get this done.
If you can simply create a new database using the "AL32UTF8" character set, this would be the easiest way.
There are several documents available (e.g. on Oracle MetaLink) that describe in detail how to convert the character set of an existing database. Depending on your data this can be a tedious task involving several steps, so may be creating a new database and exporting/importing the data might be the simplest choice if you need to migrate some existing data.
The recommended national character set is "AL16UTF16", by the way, but that shouldn't matter that much once you have a Unicode enabled database using "AL32UTF8" as database character set.
2. How to set/retrive the "Database Character Set" and "National Character Set". This has already been answered partly. Retrieve:
Database Character Set:
SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';National Character Set:
SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET';In most of the cases you can't just simply set/alter the character sets, as outlined above.

How to make Solaris 8 UNICODE supported

My Solaris 8 doesn't support UNICODE. That's why, I can't write � in a file.
I think UNICODE support will remove this problem
How to make Solaris 8 UNICODE supported.

In the initial "dtlogin" screen, select a "UTF-8" locale when you login.
You may have to install additional locale files for UTF-8 support from the Solaris "Languages" CD.

Unicode support

It seems there is no way to display UTF-8 encoded ePub files in DE 1.5 correctly. If uncompressed, HTML content looks fine in a browser. In DE all common accented characters are substituted with ? character.
There are two similar topics on this forum:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6343e
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b60d2d
My ePub file was generated via DocBook XSL Stylesheets and there is no problem to display it in FBReader.
I suppose it is caused by default font, which contains probably very limited range of characters. Unfortunately there is no way to select the better one (as it is possible in FBReader).
Something about changing the default font was "discussed" here: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5e8b7
If I met this issue 10 years ago, I would understand. If anybody in these days offer software for reading text with no support for non-roman languages, it is hard to believe.
What I would suggest is to deliver DE with any very complete font, for example MinionPro (latin, cyrillic, CE, greek etc.). If this is impossible, please add a feature for selecting the default font.
If I am totally wrong, clarification of this issue is welcomed.
OS - Win XP Pro SP2
Browser - Firefox 3.0.1

Hi Jim--
Thanks very much for the explanation on this...
You know, Adobe could save us all a lot of time if the default faux fonts would include more unicode support....
(I've spent probably a day overall trying to figure out what the issue is, and now I will spend the rest of the day learning/testing embedding a custom font in an epub, just for Digital Editions...)
Even Mobipocket and Kindle are getting these entities right in the three books I'm working on, with their default fonts. (We're not talking about super-obscure characters. Try "Milosevic" with the proper characters, and you get a ? in DE.)
Is there any chance Adobe can get the default fonts smarter in 1.8..?
Thanks for any help/thoughts on this front...I'm sure I don't understand all the issues...it just seems like such an obvious straightforward thing to fix.

[SOLVED] Termite terminfo not reporting proper unicode support?

I've just switch from urxvt to termite due to the proper support for fontconfig. However, I'm noticing an issue in some ncurses programs that make use of the "Extended ASCII character set" printing functionality
According to this question ncurses determines what characters to print for a specific extended ascii character based on the current terminal type.
I suspect that termite isn't properly reporting unicode support since when a ncurses program wants to (for example) print arrows it will print (<, ^, v, >) instead of (←, ↑, ↓, →).
I've been trying to read terminfo(5) to understand what I might need to change in the terminfo file (xterm-termite) for it to properly report that it supports unicode, but it's fairly cryptic to me.
Last edited by EvanPurkhiser (2013-05-16 07:53:26)

I've made a little bit of progress on determining why Termite doesn't report support for _some_ extended ASCII characters.
Looking at Termites terminfo file there is an option in there named 'acsc', which describes the terminals support for extended ascii characters. There is some documentation on the options available for this, and I noticed that the arrow characters are not included in termites terminfo.
If I switch my $TERM to screen-256color (which DOES print the extended ASCII arrows properly) and run `infocmp` I see that it does include these characters
acsc=++\,\,--..00``aaffgghhiijjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz{{||}}~~,
I thought I might be able to simply add the proper characters to termites terminfo acsc option and it would fix it, but it didn't. Instead now when it trys to print arrows instead of printing the wedge (^, v) or the unicode characters (like I want), it just prints the corresponding extended ASCII mapping characters (-, .).
The next thing I tried was copying ALL of the screen-256color terminfo options into the source termite.terminfo file. This had the same effect as before.
I also tried completely replacing the (already compiled) xterm-termite terminfo file with the (already compiled) screen-256color terminfo file (`cp /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen-256color /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-termite`). This DID work, but obviously this is no different than just `export TERM=screen-256color `
What am I missing? is there some kind of character map that gets encoded into the terminfo file during compilation?

Enable unicode support

I have nokia 6500 slide model phone.
How I can enable unicode support for reading "jar" file in regional language, especilly in malayalam language

It is not just about enabling Unicode support (and for all that matters, the phone might already have full Unicode support).
It is a case of having the correct fonts as default/system fonts for displaying the characters.
On S40 based models, you cannot install your own font files to replace system/default fonts.
So, if you want to read/see malayalam language content, and the phone does not support it, you can try a Nokia repair center in case there is a firmware version with support for that language, or you can change to some other phone model which supports the language, or supports installable font files.

Unicode support for Nokia 5233 and the like device...

Hello. I'm just a lurker on the forums but i recently made a switch from my old 6500 slide (Series 40) to a 5233.
When i got my new device, i wasn't exactly happy due to they (The salesmen) didn't inform me about the lack of 3G compatibility but my bigger problem is lack of Unicode support.
I cannot browse my Japanese files on my mSD nor can i browse my Japanese forums and sites on my 5233. I've been using my 5600 slide at the moment and was wondering if there is an avaliable language pack, character set pack or font pack?
Thanks.
EDIT: Fixed a few typos. Hope anyone can help me.

You need to visit a Nokia care center for language packs,they may charge a small fee for it.

Unicoding Support

Dear all
I need to enable unicode support for Oracle 9i(9.2.0.1.0) which is run on windows 2000 (32 bit)
I did edit change NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 , but when I try to connect to isqlpluse an error occures
"ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified".
Please let me know any additional settings to be done in "pfile" (init.ora)?
Thanking you
Regards Lakmal

Hi, 
 
If I well understand, your source database is in non-unicode, right ? 
But it's not so easy to migrate in unicode database. 
I strongly advise you to read metalink note 260192.1 Changing WE8ISO8859P1/ WE8ISO8859P15 or WE8MSWIN1252 to UTF8 with ALTER DATABASE . 
You can find more info into Globalization Support

Oracle Support Requesting Forms Webcast Topic Suggestions

Every other month, Oracle Support has been broadcasting, via Web Conference, presentations which provide a variety of Oracle Forms related topics.
We would like to solicit your ideas for new presentation topics for future Advisor Webcasts. The topic should broad enough so as to be of value to most attendees. The presentations are limited to approximately one hour, so the topic should not be overly complex. Please also avoid overly simply topics, as well because these will likely not be of interest to a large enough audience.
Please refer to Metalink Note 423317.1 for a list of previously presented Webcasts. Replays for these Webcasts are also available from this note. This note will also provide details which allow you to register for upcoming events.
Although we cannot guarantee that your topic will be presented, all will be considered. The above mentioned note will be updated as new topics are added.
Please feel free to post your suggestions in this thread.
 
Oracle Forms Global Technical Lead


Matt,
Thank you very much for your feedback. Great idea!
The Forms webcasts are presented by the Oracle Forms Support team from around the world. These engineers primarily Support the Forms product line and therefore have limited exposure to the EBusiness line. Although we will definitely discuss your suggestion within my team (Forms Support), I would also recommend that you refer to the WebCast main note which has more information about other lines of business and their presentations. Schedules for Ebusiness and other products are also listed in that note. See note 398877.1 and its references.
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=398877.1
That said, most of the content presented in the Forms webcasts has been somewhat generic. Meaning that it applies to most versions of Forms - past to present. Some exceptions might be in situations where we may have been discussing core Application Server features like SSO or EM. In the case of WebUtil, although it was designed and tested to work with Forms 9.x and newer, the basic idea of having a Java Bean or PJC (which is what WebUtil is) in Forms is generic regardless of whether or not you are using EBusiness. If you are using the latest versions of EBusiness (Version 12), it is based on Forms 10, so many of our Forms webcasts may apply, including WebUtil.

Again, thank you for the feedback! I will be sure to pass you idea on to the EBiz team.

Changes to Unicode support in LabVIEW 8.6

There seems to have been a change in the way LabVIEW handles alternative text input between 8.5.1 and 8.6.
In 8.6, if I try to use type something in Hebrew (alt+shift in Windows changes the input language), the words come out in the wrong order (the first word appears on the left instead of on the right). The actual order of the letters in the word appears correctly (right to left), although sometimes the first letter in the text gets stuck on the left size.
If I try to use Hebrew in a label, I get a message telling me that I can't type a Unicode string into labels and enums.
In all of these cases, copying a string from Notepad and pasting it into LabVIEW displays it correctly (including in labels).
I have tried doing this with UseUnicode INI key set both to T and to F and it happens in both cases.
This SUCKS. Big time. Really.
I know that LabVIEW doesn't officially have support for right to left languages, but at least in previous versions it would sort of behave. I'm pretty sure this isn't what people who were expecting more Unicode support were thinking about.
Does anyone have any idea for a workaround? The only two I can currently think of is copying and pasting or writing a small VI which will reverse the text on demand, both of which are bad solutions.
If there's a patch planned, fixing this will definitely get my vote as something that deserves going in there.
P.S. I'm not sure why the Hebrew input is treated as Unicode. If I'm not mistaken, changing the input language in Windows should still result in ASCII characters and in previous versions it does (the Hebrew chars in the code page LabVIEW uses in 7.0 start at ASCII E0 and in 8.6 it starts at D005 with the next letter being D105).
P.P.S Did I mention this sucks?
Try to take over the world!

I'm going to suggest something really strange as a workaround, but, trust me, I have historical precedent for suggesting this...
Try editing the keyboard shortcuts for LabVIEW and change Quick Drop to be something other than ctrl+spacebar.
Why might this help the problem? When I developed the alignment grid, I thought that ctrl+# was a very intuitive shortcut key for toggling the grid on and off (since the hash symbol looks like a grid). What we found was that when the OS language was set to French, users could no longer type many of the extended grammer characters. The reason was that a critical scan code for the extended character sets overlapped with the scancode for ctrl+shift+3. In LV 8.6, we added ctrl+space, which is the first non-alphabetic shortcut key we've added since the ctrl+#. It might be that whatever keyboard scancode is used for Hebrew happens to overlap, and the code is being translated into a shortcut key for LV instead of a typed character.
I have no evidence that this is what is happening, but it is the only analagous situation that I know of, so I suggest it as something to try.

Where is Unicode Support

I tried buzzword today and got amazed after finding that
there is NO Unicode support. When I tried to write a few Unicode
Hindi word, all it displays was dots like this - ...... I tried to
copy this on my local Notepad, and Unicode characters were
displaying there. So, may be only display problem here?
I think, Unicode support is a must for todays web apps.
Google doc has it, Zoho has it, Thinkfree has it...

Hello there -
I've just
added
a post that addresses this issue. The short answer is that we
fully support Unicode, but we don't have access to many
international characters due to memory and bandwidth constraints.
We expect to address this in the next several builds, but in the
meantime we apologize for our inability to display many
international characters.

Where is the continue support request form situate...

Hi there i have just paid 5.74 for a premium account shows that it has been debited and said that i had premium account, it wont let me make a group video call and i cant find the contact support request form anywhere PLEASE can anyone help me.....thankyou in advance

Whilst trying to buy a premium subscription package from Skype, I erroneously ticked the US + Canada box, when I wanted unlimited Europe....result....after two days of faffing about, Ive had to pay for an additional 'unlimited Europe' package...without being able to transfer the credit from the wrongly bought US + Canada package!!!
Why does Skype make their site so user 'unfriendly?!'
I've had to scroll laboriously through many pages to try and get a refund for the first premium package...skype will take your money quickly enough...why cant they just have a 'request cancellation/refund button on the accounts page? it doesn't make any sense....and it causes loads of hassle....if anyone out there has an easy/any way to get my money back...please get in touch
