 |
|
I am developing an application trying to remember to use the appropriate
functions etc so Unicode characters should be supported etc.
Does anyone know of a method of testing the application to check that
Unicode support is working?
Using Delphi 7 Pro and Win2K/English.
TIA

Use the W2K Charmap utility to paste any Unicode characters you want
into your GUI controls.
Save and redisplay. I would convert to UTF8 format for storage (saves
space, allows the use of AnsiString).
Be sure to use an appropriate font (Arial Unicode MS if you want to
support really exotic character sets).

Thanks.
Do you know of a download link for the Arial Unicode MS font?
Do I need to set the font properties of all my controls to anything special
to ensure Unicode is properly supported or does Delphi sort this out for
you?
