Diacritics code page 1252

Posted by e.schutten on 20-May-2016 03:40

Hi,

OpenEdge 10.2B SP8

Windows 

I have a character client and a gui client both running with code page 1252.

When I do ALT-137 in the gui client I see character "‰".

But when I do the same in a character client I see character "ë".

Character "‰" in the gui client is correct one.

What must I do so that I also see the "‰" in the character client when I'm doing ALT-137?

Kind regards,

Edwin.

Not sure but I suggest to look @your used font!

I needed to change my font from MS Sans serif to Microsft Sans serif to get other characters correct in 1252

Based on:

knowledgebase.progress.com/.../P117244

and

knowledgebase.progress.com/.../How-to-Display-the-Euro-in-a-Windows-Character-Client-session

proenv

chcp 1252

You will lose all line drawing characters - since these are not in 1252.

Beware of side effects!

It is still not working. What I understood from the articles you send me is that ISO and 1252 should not be used by character clients, they are GUI code pages. But now I wonder what if my client character session is ibm850, my GUI client is 1252 and my database is also 1252. Is this going to work?

I am using 11.6x64 (on Windows 10):

Same results with 10.2B08x64 (on Windows 10)
