SYMPTOM(s):
Client session cannot see special Central European characters
locale is set to Polish for example
Database converted to UTF-8
client session started with cpinternal 1250 -cpstream 1250 -cpcoll polish
Central European available as a language setting for the system in the "regional options"
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1D
Progress 9.1D
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
CAUSE:
The default font in use cannot handle special characters
FIX:
Define a new font, that supports the special characters needed:
Procedure Editor > BUFFER > FONT > [select an unused font] EDIT > select font-type and size > select "Central European" from the dropdown list of SCRIPT
This will display the special characters in the Proceedure Editor and if needing to display these in a browse (for example), the font number that was defined above, needs to be included in the DISPLAY statement:
example: (on UTF-8 sports database)
Find first customer.
update name = "ALT-GR + every key-combination-for-special-characters".
Find first customer.
display name font 8.
