Oracle Text In cards.txt Files

[Chris H.]

Using the default LAF for MacOS: "gui.laf=com.apple.laf.AquaLookAndFeel"

I get the same result with "Use LAF Fonts" on or off.

Using Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8

Yeah, I know why it's happening. The font used is not a UNICODE font and tries to represent the single two-byte character û as two separate ASCII one-byte characters.I'm poking around,trying out different solutions right now. EDIT: It worked for me because I'm on a different ASCII codepage, which happens to contain those characters.

[Braids]

name field inside txt file = Oracle name, converted from Unicode to imperfect ASCII ('AE' to two characters, removal of accent marks from vowels)
and
name of txt file itself = name field, all punctuation removed, spaces replaced with underscores, and converted to all lower-case + ".txt"

i'm glad I posted here, it seems that my mention of unicode helped with the oracle text, even though it was ever so slightly off topic.

are there common methods to perform either of these conversions? if so, where? if not, i can take a crack at 'em.

I added CardUtil.simplifyNameString(String) for this purpose, but it's not exactly UNICODE->ASCII conversion, just replacement operations.

we wouldn't want exact unicode to ascii conversion, because that would prohibit asymmetric replacements. for example, when replacing accented vowels with non accented versions, one cannot convert it back to the original unicode because the information about the accent mark has been lost.

Chris & Sol, could you try something for me, just to rule something out?
Get r10066 or later and go into res/gui/gui.properties and change CardPanel/font, CardDetailPanel/font and DeckEditor/CardTable/font to Arial instead of Dialog.See if that helps.

I will try to check this out in a few hours, my wife wants me to go out with her for a few hours.

I have the same setup as Chris basically, and thus, the same problem. I changed those 3 things to Arial. The problem still exists as described.

Just tried this and I got stuck in an Infinite Loop of Errors.

The Security error was accidental, and was fixed r10067. (Java is surprisingly sensitive about certain imports..)

I'm scrounging for time tonight, but I'm on this every second I can.

I'm not sure why I was getting that, maybe Eclipse hadn't refreshed. Changing the font doesn't seem to help though. It might have been the display Option. I was on Napkin and it was just giving me the same thing.

[Hellfish]

Wait, you're still getting the same error, after r10067?

Yep I was never on r10067, I didn't get home till after it was up to 71, and sync'd straight to that and then tried it.

Like Slapshot said we have very similar system setups. I am currently using rev 10070 and a new test. My gui.properties file was edited and now looks like this:

Display--file=display_layout.xml
Display/new--file=display_new_layout.xml
DeckEditor--file=deck_editor_layout.xml
CardPanel/font=Arial
CardDetailPanel/font=Arial
DeckEditor/CardTable/font=Arial

`
and I am still getting the incorrect two character interpretation for the accented character for the Lim Dul creatures. I opened one of these creature's modified card txt files and this is what I see:
