unicode mapping
unicode mapping
hi guys,
i would like to know exactly how dd maps to characters.
the reason for this question is as follows :
i have two xp machines here in the office.
regional settings are identical.
i call ::getacp() on both machines via exsystemservices::systemcodepage()
and both return cp_ansi_1252.
i set the ballowcpconversion to true in the call to readfile().
so from the above i figure i would get the same characters mapped on both machines ... well you guessed, wrong :-(.
basically i have a drawing that has japanese characters, but it shows chinese characters on one of the machines????
what if anything else should i check, and what seems to be the problem is very much appreciated from anyone that can help
thanx again in advance
jason

the difference is probably caused by presence/absence of some code page (japanese) support.
which dd version do you use? as i remember since 1.14.02 we give warning in case of conversion failure.
by default on windows dd uses windows unicode conversion and on non-windows - adinit.dat which can be activated on windows too.
