This tells Programmer's Notepad that when you open ANSI files it should support GB 2312 for multi-byte characters. This will then work correctly, treating double-byte chars as a single item.</p> <p>Even if PN converted everything to Unicode for editing, it would still need to be told which encoding an ANSI file was in as there's no easy way to guess. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5087#post-7423 Fri, 15 Oct 2010 15:17:46 +0000 horus 7423@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I could confirm this bug, however, to be fair, it's not related to Unicode. Your sample file is in ANSI encoding, to be precise GB2312 encoding. You don't have this problem when the text file is in real Unicode (UTF8 or UTF16) encoding.</p> <p>Back to the bug:<br /> In order to reproduce the problem, first, your Windows has to be in "Chinese (PRC)" locale.</p> <p>Secondly, put the cursor between two characters (eg 9日 at the very beginning of the file), press the right arrow key once and enter a letter (eg a). In most situations, this inserts the letter in "half-character" position, demonstrating guipeng's problem. However, in few situations (between some other characters), this won't break the Chinese characters. Since this is a bug, I don't think it really matters to know between what characters exactly this would break them :)</p> <p>IMO, PN2 (or scintilla) should treat double-byte chars as one single entity. Or with a much better approach (notepad's approach): when a file is open, everything is converted to Unicode internally so PN2 manipulates them natively using Unicode API. Then at the moment of saving, strings are converted back to ANSI if needed. So users don't really need to know if their files are in ANSI or Unicode encoding. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5087#post-7422 Fri, 15 Oct 2010 06:09:00 +0000 guipeng 7422@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi, Simon.

Althought Simon said that PN2 would be much better in unicode supporting, I found the Chinese support are still not that perfect.<br /> For example, you can save the following text as a txt file:"9日，正影响新疆的冷空气将自西北向东南影响中国中东部地区。受较强冷空气影响，未来三天，中国将出现大范围雨雪和大风降温天气，部分降温可达12℃。新疆、西藏、青海、内蒙古、东北等地部分地区将飘起雪花，广东、海南、云南、西藏、四川、贵州、湖南、广西、江西、福建、内蒙古等地部分地区有大雨或暴雨。" When opening this txt file with PN2, you will find that the program regards a Chinese character as two non-unicode characters. And you can "insert into" a Chinese character, delete "half" of it, and found the modified text looks like alien language. Also you can find that when you choose some words in the txt file, some unrelated and dissimilar text zone will be highlighted in light green. But the intersting phenomenon can not be found in Chinese html or xml file.<br /> I don't know whether the similar problem can be observed in files in others asin languages or not, maybe any volunteers can have a try.<br /> Thanks Simon for such a gorgeous tool all the same. Simon, thanks for your dedication to PN and your concern to this post! </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/622#post-2366 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 08:22:55 +0000 simon 2366@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Ah yes, defaults will work, we just don't support it if your default is not Unicode - good find.</p> <p>For the bug, please upload it as an issue:</p> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/entry" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/entry</a> </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/622#post-2365 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:46:28 +0000 arisawa 2365@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>this problem was solved.<br /> I did as follows.<br /> Tools-&gt;Options-&gt;General-&gt;Defaults<br /> Code Page: Unicode(UTF-8)<br /> Character Set: Shift-JIS</p> <p>output window seems to function correctly synchronously by this setting.<br /> However, there is bug in 2.1.1.1050<br /> I took screenshot, but how show you it? </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/646#post-2340 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:06:04 +0000 simon 2340@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi, I've been working on proper Unicode support for the next release of Programmer's Notepad.

You should now be OK to load and save as you like. If you just switch to UTF-8 while editing, this will not put the control into the unicode editing code page which can lead to some weirdness.</p> <p>I have already fixed some problems related to this for the next version. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/25#post-95 Tue, 21 Feb 2006 08:25:53 +0000 wvdirks 95@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Seems to me that the schemes made with a schemedef cause PN2 to have problems displaying Unicode text. For example,<br /> - Start a new file in PN2<br /> - paste in Euro symbol � U+20AC<br /> - make sure the encoding is UTF8 or 16<br /> - save as a file name<br /> - reload<br /> - You may have to paste again and save<br /> - Change the scheme from any scheme to VHDL and watch the new char appear after the Euro.</p> <p>This is happening with other schemedefs I'm working on. </p> <p>Is there something wrong with the VHDL schemedef that's causing this or is it PN2? </p>
