SYMPTOM(s):
Russian characters do not display correctly in a combo box or selection list
Cyrillic characters display correctly in fillin objects.
Russian characters do not display correctly in combo or selection list pull down lists. They display as thick bold vertical lines.
FACT(s) (Environment):
The client is started with the UTF-8 code page.
The combo box is a list-item-pairs combo box.
Windows
OpenEdge 10.1x
OpenEdge Category: Language (4GL/ABL)
CAUSE:
The combo or selection list is not using the correct font. The combo and selection list use the DefaultFont defined in the Registry or ini file, and the font being used does not support the characters that it is trying to display.
FIX:
To use a different font, specify it in the object properties. In this case use a Unicode font such as 'Lucida Sans Unicode'. Windows Character Map can be used to check which characters a specific font supports. Simply select the font in the Character Map tool to see the supported characters.
The DefaultFont can also be modified, but this is not recommended for Development sessions since it will also affect the AppBuilder.
