    • Default Gšvt Strings


      How do you give a Govt a STR resource for their Default replys? Searched, nothing. Looked in bible, nothing.

      Thanks in advance

      It's not a Mac/PC thing, but rather a text encoding issue. I have my default in Safari set to Western (ISO Latin 1) and got weird stuff. Switching to Western (Mac OS Roman) got the normal stuff back. Unicode (UTF-8) makes the o disappear completely.

      Correct.

      Try changing the font to either LucidaGrande, Monaco, or Helvetica.
      I say these, because I have no problem seeing all sorts of wacky symbols, and these are my three system, app, and fixed fonts.

      Heh

    • Yeah, the characters with umlauts are encoded differently on Macs and Windows. On Windows, ä is 0x84, ë is 0x89, ď is 0x8B, ö is 0x94, ü is 0x81, and ˙ is 0x98. On Mac, ä is 0x8A, ë is 0x91, ď is 0x95, ö is 0x9A, ü is 0x9F, and ˙ is 0xD8. Pretty much anything over ASCII 0x80 is different across platforms, which basically includes all accented characters. The é is another example from spob Kiniké.

      Bah.
      On a Mac, opt-u= ¨
      opt-i=ˆ
      opt-n=˜
      opt-e=´
      hah!

      Mine are set up the same. Safari will override them, however, with whatever fonts you have set in its preferences and of course web pages can override that if they so desire, unless you say otherwise of course. for instance, this pages tries, in order, Lucida Grande, Geneva, Veranda, Arial and finally Helvetica until it fins a font your computer has.

      It's not that hard.

      Pretend you'r making a STR# resource. Simple, right?

      Well, imagine ResEdit turned cruel on you one day and made you use a seperate resource for each string. So, if you have a...DAMN IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN!

      Okay, let's pretend you have STR# resource 128, but you only want to replace #43 of the 64 in there. Now let's pretend that 128-191 are the STR resources to replace the strings in it (i.e. if you want to replace #1, use 128, #2, use 129, etc.). Simply take 128, add 43 (or whatever your number is), and subtract one. In this case, you get 170. So, you make a STR resource with an ID number of 170, and type in whatever. EV/EVO/EVN will automatically disregard the string in the STR# resource and use the STR resource instead.

      Do we understand a little better now?
