Thread: UTF-8 support
Dear all, I am stuck by the beauty of pgAdmin3. Thanks to all of you. While browsing UTF-8 data, I noticed that german and spanish text displayed well. Only the Japanese text does not display. Are you converting UTF-8 into Latin1 or is pgAdmin3 really UTF-8 compatible (I thought GTK 1.2 did not support UTF-8)? Cheers, Jean-Michel

Nice to know it works better than VB! > Are you converting UTF-8 into Latin1 or is pgAdmin3 really > UTF-8 compatible (I > thought GTK 1.2 did not support UTF-8)? We are not doing anything about charsets yet, other than following the wxWindows guidelines for Unicode support by wrapping all literal strings in the wxT() macro. My intention was to get the core functionality done, tested and released, and then to work on stuff like Unicode/UTF-8 support (which I still need to get my head fully around!) Regards, Dave.

The Japanese does not display but I can see rectangles instead of glyphs. It should be a problem of fonts. Don't know... Do you need a small database for testing? Cheers, Jean-Michel

Any suggestions on a suitable font? Regards, Dave.

The application is using GTK+2 built against wxWindows 2.3.4. A simple post to the author would save time. Cheers, Jean-Michel

If you can send the dump file anyway, then I at least have something to play with if I find a few spare moments. > > Any suggestions on a suitable font? > > Looking at http://poedit.sourceforge.net source code should > give interesting > information.

I won't email the author unless I need to as I know how annoying those emails can be (when you getthem daily anyway)... Regards, Dave
