[Done] Asian languages in editor gadget w10

horst · **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2020 4:57 pm

Some Asian languages do not show in the editor gadget.

+++ sample
Chinese:　善用佳软
Hindi: और ऐना साफ़
Korean: 배경 고정(시계모드)
Japanese: こんにちは、
+++

Chinese and Japanese are ok, but Hindi and Korean are not, although these show correctly in the PB string gadget, and in all other editors on my computer including the PB editor.

What is wrong?
Can anyone help me by copying the sample into the editor:

Code:

#width = 500 : #height = 400 : #title = "Editor Gadget Test "
#flags = #PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered
If OpenWindow(0,0,0,#width,#height,#title,#flags) : Else : End : EndIf 
ListHandle = EditorGadget(1,0,0,#width,#height) 
SetActiveGadget(1)
Repeat 
  event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
End

Confirmed here. The Hindi and Korean lines don't show what your sample shows when I copied and pasted your whole sample. They paste fine into Notepad, so it appears to be a PureBasic issue.

I noted that copying and pasting just the Korean line (Korean: 배경 고정(시계모드)) works, but then if you copy and paste just the Hindi text after it (और ऐना साफ़), it changes the EditorGadget by making the Korean text different and making the Hindi text look like squares:

Edited to show Notepad has no problem.

What source are you copying and pasting from? If it's anything like Russian Cyrillic, there can be several codes used to write Hindi, Korean etc characters, and some of these encodings are incompatible with some programs.
For example, some Russian Cyrillic texts are fine, while some are displayed as strings of Latin letters with diacritic signs (like the ones used in Vietnamese or Polish), or as question marks.

Ural4320, I pasted the sample text into Notepad first, then cleared the clipboard, then copied the text from Notepad to ensure there was no other encoding (in case these forums were including hidden characters or encoding that I couldn't see). It still failed, with both PureBasic 5.72 32-bit and 64-bit for me. The results were as per my screenshots above.

What you said also doesn't explain why the EditorGadget changes the correct display of the first pasted text (Korean) when pasting the second language (Hindi) after it. I would expect the EditorGadget to stay the same.

I see no issue on linux. It displays

Chinese:　善用佳软
Hindi: और ऐना साफ़
Korean: 배경 고정(시계모드)
Japanese: こんにちは、

what OS is this occurring on?

Windows 10 for me (see my screenshots).

I should have mentioned in my original post that I have these problems on a Windows 10 system.

@ Ural4320:
I have written a PB text display program with search function.
How do you explain that Korean does not show correctly in the editor gadget, while I can anter a Korean string in the search box, and it looks fine (and the search is successful)..

Should this thread be moved to the bugs section?

Yes! My screenshots above show the obvious problem.

That's wierd because we use a standard 'RichEdit20' component and we don't have any hook about copy/paste. It seems like Hindi is breaking the whole stuff here, all 3 other languages seems to work. I also tried to paste Hindi into a StringGadget() and it works, so it's not an unicode encoding issue in PB.

Copy and paste into EditorGadget works correctly here, all characters appear fine :-

PB 5.73 beta 2 x64
Windows 7 Pro (sorry no Win10 system handy)
MX Linux Xfce 19.2

Is there a change to the default font with Win10 or something?

Fred · **Posted:** Mon Nov 02, 2020 3:20 pm

I tried with different font, without success.

Hi
It seems that PB Windows 10 is using Riched20.dll while it should use msftedit.dll

You are right RASHAD ! Using the most recent RichEdit allows proper copy/paste of asian language. Fixed.
