TC7.50pb2: special chars not displayed in lister (ANSI/HEX)

[ghisler(Author)]

Thanks, I could finally reproduce the problem now! I was desparately searching for a font where the line break characters were shown in hex+veriable mode, but couldn't find any. But that's not necessary, it's sufficient to have one where they are shown as dots...

Hello, Christian.

Followed the steps illustrated in my previous message carefully.

Can no longer reproduce the reported display problem using variable width fonts combined with any encoding method. I.e. this does not happen any more.

+ Windows XP Prof SP2, 32bit, ger
+ Total Commander 7.50 PB4

Kind regards,
Karl

Have not had a chance of verifying that this problem has been solved on Vista as well. Will report back as soon as this has been done, unless someone else is faster than me (which should be pretty easy).

Same here. It seems the issue is completely solved.

Tested under WinXPPro-SP3 (32bit).

Thanks a lot!

Hello, Christian.

As no-one else has confirmed that the issue has dispappeared on Vista, too: The problem has been fixed for Vista as well.

+ Windows Vista Home Premium, 32bit, ger
+ Total Commander 7.50 PB4

Cheers,

Great, thanks!

I'm sorry, but this bug has been reintroduced under Windows 7 RTM (x64) ENG (Czech locale). I have Total Commander 7.50a.

I cannot find any setting or any font to make it go away. The only way is to use ASCII. Special chars simply aren't rendered.

[ghisler(Author)]

Maybe they are missing in the font which you are using?

[Mirage]

No, it doesn't work with any of them: Fixedsys, Courier New, Consolas, Lucida Console, .. I could go on.

Fixedsys font (8514fix*.fon, vgafix*.fon) is actually exactly the same as on Windows XP (binary compared). So, they must have done something in the rendering.

[ghisler(Author)]

Strange, I will check that.

I have checked that now on Windows 7, but characters like line breaks are all replaced by dots here in Hex mode. What exactly goes wrong in your case?

[Mirage]

Here is an example.. Binary/ANSI.. I selected some lines so you can see the missing characters. This gets more annoying in hex mode.

Thanks! Can you post also a screenshot in hex mode, please?
