Thank you very much for ur support. well, my prob is - I've made a Unicode text file having Unicode font representing Hindi char as प्रियंका (saved that text file as ENCODINGÂ = UNICODE)
Reading that file with the code -
RFs fs; User::LeaveIfError( fs.Connect() ); _LIT( KStreamStoreName, "C:\\Unicode1.txt"); CleanupClosePushL(fs); RFile file; User::LeaveIfError(file.Open(fs, KStreamStoreName, EFileRead | EFileStreamText)); CleanupClosePushL(file); TBuf<64> buf16; TFileText aTxtFile; aTxtFile.Set(file); if(aTxtFile.Read(buf16) != KErrEof) Â Â {Â Â Â Â Â const TDesC& aText16 = buf16;Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â iAppContainer->SetTextL(aText16); Â Â Â } CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(2)
I have to read that text and operate on that on charactor by charactor basis. But it is showing square boxes on emulator s60 2nd ed. fp2 I know unicode is represented by square boxes when it is seen in non unicode environment. May be that emularot doesnt support unicode. I have read that same text file contaning unicode chars on Nokia 6600, same square boxes is being seen on that also.
Please let me know in detail how and what shud i do?
Its very much urgent ....
Second thing for converting .ttf file to .gdr or .bdf thru Easy creator- 1. I browsed location of my ttf file. 2. Set size and ASCII/Unicode (actual I needed Symbol/Unicode but atleast for this it shud work) 3. Preview font (It is showing correct) 4. Clicked on Complied to GDR () (Saynig File load not complete)
running on cmd - C:\FNTTRAN.EXE C:\DVBWYG3N.TTF C:\my.bdf Not making any fileÂ
written a small programm of callprocess(......) of mfc for FNTTRAN.exe that returns bool true for succesful but not making any file....Â
IIRC: -unicode charactor is shown as question mark ?? in non-unicode platform -unicode charactor is shown as box in unicode platform when font is missing
