Group: Forum Members Posts: 0, Visits: 166	I'm building an app to show formatted text in a Nov Text Editor. One issue I am having is with German characters in the text. Here is a screen grab of part of the file in TextEdit and in the Nevron NOV Demo. Check the quote marks on the 3rd line. Does anyone know how to get Nevron Nov text editor to show these (and others) correctly? Tags German characters

Group: Administrators Posts: 3.1K, Visits: 4.2K	Hi Neil, Thank you for uploading that file. Yes we managed to replicate / fix this. The problem was that the text contained ASCII extension characters that are not usually mapped to their Unicode equivalents. Such characters are (first column contains ASCII code point and the second the Unicode one): 0x84, 0x201E // double low quotation mark 0x8B, 0x2039 // single left-pointing angle quotation mark 0x91, 0x2018 // LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK ‘quoteleft 0x92, 0x2019 // RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK ’quoteright 0x93, 0x201C // LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK“quotedblleft 0x94, 0x201D // RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK”quotedblright We have incorporated the above fix to the font fallback mechanism of the control and will publish a SP in the near future that has this resolved. BTW what is the software you used to create this RTF? Best Regards, Nevron Support Team
