As I said in previous post (http://forum.high-logic.com:9080/t/blue-chars-in-my-font-empty-font/1608/1), I am trying to display symbols which are not usually mapped at specific addresses.
For example, Б cyrilic char displayed for $80 code. William Top Typographer explained me very precisely that Windows codepages could interact with display. I then successfully created a font which could make my applications display what I wanted for any code.
But there is still a problem :
For codes in range : $20 to $FF, no problem ! (I can map any symbol on them)
but for codes in range : $5 to $1F,
For example, when for code $18, I expect symbol ‘ę’ to be displayed… the original one ‘’ is displayed !
I wondered if an other codepage could interact with my font…
Thank you very much for your help !
Best Regards,
Pierre
PS : note that I know that $0 to $1F are control codes but I would like to display characters replacing them.
Some more precision :
I found that codepage 437 was the original character set of the IBM PC, so I tried to copy my glyphs to the corresponding specific mappings…but it does not work…
My question is windows able to use a codepage for a range of codes and an other for another part ?
For example :
Ok, my font is working on an other windows xp computer… It may then be my system configuration that fails to display it correctly. I tried to delete de the FNTCACHE.DAT file and reboot as said in this forum but no effect…
