special characters
Sep 4th, 2008, 9:02pm  
hi,
I have problem with special letters,
I'm from Poland, so I'm trying to use polish alphabet with its special characters. When I'm loading text to the code (for example chapter 8 networks and graphs in Visualizing data) everything is fine and working very well, but after saving and reopen most of the special characters disappear (except "o" with little line above, cause it exists also in spanish alphabet).

I don't know if there is any possibility for me in this case?
Maybe  there is something like "glyphs" in InDesign, where  all "unusual and forgotten" letters are hidden?

please let me know
a.

First, you should tell us which version of Processing you are using.
In recent versions, PDE wants the sketches to be encoded in UTF-8. I think older versions used the current codepage or something like that. If you have high Ascii chars in a non-UTF-8 file, recent PDE should complain about bad encoding.

Beside, you can encode special chars with Java escape sequences. Eg. \u00C5 is character Å.
Note that if you want to display such character, it must be in the character range of the exported font.

thanks a lot,

I just realize that unfortunately java unicode for east-europe doesn't contain polish characters (I just hoped, that it can't be possible :/
and now I found special tricks from polish programmers Smiley
so thanks anyway
