PB version: PB Classic Version 12.5 Build 2511
OS: Windows
In our application we keep all texts used on the GUI in a separate text file external to the application.
At runtime (typically in the Window Open event), we read the language file and apply it to
appropriate text strings on the display. This strategy has worked fine for French, Spanish, Japanese
and other languages
We are not sure how to get this working with the Russian language file. When we open the text file we received the
Russian translator using Notepad the text appears garbled. However, when opening the text file using MS Word it
prompts us to apply Cyrillic (Windows) encoding and the text appears fine in Word.
To support Japanese language, we set .fontcharset property for the different controls on a window to
ShiftJis!
We have tried setting FontCharSet to ansi!, hebrewcharset!, arabiccharset!, greekcharset!, turkishcharset!, balticcharset!,
and thaicharset! for Russian without any luck.
We have tried using these two Font FaceNames: Tahoma, Arial Still no luck.
Also, we are not sure what value we should use to set the .Font.charset in datawindow columns for Russian language.
Please let us know if you have any pointers that would help us resolve this issue.
Is there a specific font we should use for displaying Russian characters?
Thanks
