Status: Unverified

FACT(s) (Environment):

Windows
OpenEdge 10.1x

SYMPTOM(s):

Labels are truncated in OpenEdge

Using a non Western European code page and Font can truncate widget labels.

The label of a fillin is overlayed by the fillin at design and run time.

The Windows client regional setting is not using the same region as the Progress client (-cpinternal). For example using a Western Windows client to display Russian characters.

CAUSE:

This is a known issue

FIX:

There are two ways to work around this:

1. Change the Windows client regional options to the same region as that supported by the code page used to start Progress clients (-cpinternal). So if the Progress client is using -cpinternal 1251, then change the Windows regional options to Russian.

2. changing the default font for the session from "MS Sans Serif" to the Unicode version of this font "Microsoft Sans Serif". You can do this by changing the INI file entry for "DefaultFont" or by changing the registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PSC\PROGRESS\10.1B\Startup\DefaultFont
To "Microsoft Sans Serif, size=8".
