Question signs instead of digits in Chinese locale W7 RC

[skuzi]

Windows 7 RC, english version.
TC 7.50 Beta 3, english language only.
Once installed, it's OK.
I've changed locale for non-unicode programs to Chinese (Control Panel-Region & Language-Administrative-Change system locale).
Restarted computer as was asked.
After that some digits in TC' main window are shown as question signs.
Here is link to screenshot (530 KB):

Before Windows 7 I used TC under Vista, it was absolutely the same story
Waited for long time for TC 7.50 with full Unicode support...

PS. This looks strange, System Locale applies for programs, which do not support Unicode. While TC 7.50 is declared as fully supports Unicode. Plus incorrectly displays digits, which is even more strange.

Unfortuntely I cannot confirm that, I need more information:

1. Can you send me the screenshot to beta at ghisler dot com, please?
2. Can you also send me instructions how to enter these digits with Microsoft PinYin IME?
3. You can try to use a different font in Configuration - Options - Font, because maybe the default font is missing these digits...

Thank you for such promt answer.

1. I've sent e-mail as asked.
2. Pls check screenshoot.
3. I've tried, no success. Configuration is default.

Unfortunatrly I didn't get any e-mail yet. Did you write my name correctly (with 'h' in ghisler)? Can you please send it again? Sorry for the inconvenience!

"Thousands separator" character (in Windows 7 it called 'Digit Grouping Symbol') is "space". In "Properties" dialog size of file is shown correctly.
Plus separator itself might not have correct character, but digit following it lost as well.
E.g if instead of 123 456 I can see 123?456, it's one thing. But actually it's 123?56, which makes the problem.

This cannot be - TC 7.5 beta 3 has no problems with space as separator, I have just tried it. It may be a different Unicode character than character Nr. 32. Please try this: Select the 'space' in the above control panel location, then copy it with Ctrl+C and paste with Ctrl+V in Notepad. Save the file as Unicode, and then check with Lister F3 - 3 (hex view) what the code is.

Thanks!

Well, tried with Chinese locale, russian format; english locale, russian format; rusian locale, russian format - always received in file as asked following:

Code: Select all

FF FE A0 00

Opened notepad & entered "space" received:

Code: Select all

FF FE 20 00

When I changed separator to "," TC shows as it should.

On other side

In "Properties" dialog size of file is shown correctly.

And files names are correct.
Little bit confused...

I can confirm the problem with the "A0 00" character. It seems to be some kind of wide space. I have also checked it with the upcoming beta 4, it seems to work fine after changing it to Unicode. Please test this again when beta 4 comes out later this week. Thanks for your help!

Checked with TC 7.5 beta 4.
Problem is fixed.
Thank you!
