MultiByte International Characters
Most languages use a single byte of 8 bits to represent a character, e.g. English,
French, German, Hebrew, Russian, Thai, etc.
Multibyte character fonts require more than the usual 8 bits to specify a character.
This occurs when a language has more than 256 characters (2
8
) in a font. For
example, Chinese fonts contain several thousand characters. Other multibyte
languages include Japanese and Korean.
There are two separate issues with multibyte characters - static text on buttons and
indirect text on buttons. No Isys touchpanel firmware changes are required in either
case.
Static text on a button, entered in the standard way in VTPro-e, always works under
Windows 98. Under Windows XP, you must use VTPro-e 3.0 or later.
Indirect text on a button is entered in VTPro-e and the actual string to be displayed is
entered in SIMPL Windows. You must use VTPro-e 3.0 or later to guarantee that the
full set of characters in the font is stored on the touchpanel. You must use SIMPL
Windows 2.03.11 or later to enter Chinese characters directly. As of this publication
date, only completely single byte or completely multibyte strings may be entered or
they will not be compiled correctly in SIMPL Windows. In other words, you cannot
enter Chinese character interspersed with numbers. You can enter Chinese characters
or numbers in separate strings. Crestron is scheduling time to fix this in the near
future and the release notes for SIMPL Windows will mention it.
Of course, you can always use the workaround of showing a graphic that displays the
string, but it is not dynamic.
