Subj : openxp chrs To : Nicholas Boel From : August Abolins Date : Thu Apr 18 2024 06:45:00 Hello Nicholas Boel! NB> Windows 11 supports utf-8 wherever it can for most things, as far as I NB> can tell. This seems to be the only program I'm having issues with. NB> I've also tried 'chcp 65001 >null && openxp.exe' from the command prompt, NB> as well as enabling 'Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language NB> support' in Settings > Languages and Region > Administrative language NB> settings > Change system locale. No matter what, the openxp window's NB> properties' current code page is set to 437, and can not be changed. I NB> wonder if this is forced in the Windows version? Correct. Codepage 437 seems to be the norm. However, the bottom line seems to be the font used for the terminal. I use TT Lucinda Console. The charset in there simply does not support the myriad of utf-8 things. NB> I'm currently tested in nntp mode only. I can read the messages fine, but NB> when I hit CTRL-Q the utf-8 text is quoted as all question marks - even NB> when passed to an external editor that supports utf-8 (notepad), and NB> Config > External > Editor has 'Editor Charset' set to utf-8. NB> Definitely confused on that one. Again.. I do believe it's based on the limitations of the font selected for the terminal. AA>> Right margin 63 NB> I have this set to 74 I believe (to allow for quoted initials), however NB> you can't set it to anything lower than 60 or higher than 77 anyways, it NB> seems (I had tried 0 to see if it would just send text to the edge of the NB> window). I never really explored the limits like that. I just tweeked things until it looked right in the terminal. BTW, if an incoming message arrives without s, then the message text *will* spread out to the edges. NB> There is also a setting in Config > Options > Miscellaneous of 'Line NB> Break' which is set to 79. According to F1 (Help), that only seems to be NB> for quoted lines and where it is to reflow those lines when they are NB> quoted. Yes.. I was going to point out the context-sensitive F1 (Help). -- ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.58 * Origin: The ONLY point that matters --> . <-- (1:153/757.21) .
