Tobias

Thank you.

These will eventually make it on to an html page via Seaside, so hopefully it will display there correctly.

Thank you for your time.

Hi all.

I am starting the task of parsing Wikimedia interlanguage links per : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext#Redirects

stuff like:

[[fr:Plancton]] [[de:Plankton]] [[ru:Планктон]] [[simple:Plankton]]

when I paste this into a Workspace, I get:

[[es:Plancton]] [[fr:Plancton]] [[de:Plankton]] [[ru:????????]] [[simple:Plankton]]

What should I do?

This is a font problem. The default font in Squeak lacks Cyrillic characters. If you paste the Russian version and make it a string and inspect it, as in     '[[ru:Планктон]]' inspect

you will see that from index 6 on, the Unicode codepoints of the Cyrillic characters are actually correct, but just cannot be displayed.

best regards     -Tobias

thanks in advance.

You most probably have to tell you string to be converted to utf8, because that is typically what is being served via Seaside and rendered by browsers.

IIRC, you can do that by setting the UTF8 Codec for the Seaside Adatpor or simply by converting the string:

'[[ru:Планктон]]' squeakToUtf8

Best regards -Tobias

I will figure it out another day.

Is it a big job to incorporate other Character Sets into Squeak?

thanks

Tobias, thank you. I will verify that Monday

Is bringing Cyrillic character support to squeak workspace a big job? If it's just tore grunt work, I can contribute

Basically, it is "just" a font problem, things display if one uses a font with the necessary characters...

Hi Tobias

I am on linux and I do not see any unicode font choices available on my System Faults menu options.

Is there someplace I can get and install them?

thanks in advance.
