IDE issues Strange/unknown characters, language issues

[Cliff3D]

There's a square representing an unknown characte rin various tooltips. For example:





but not in others - for example, this one looks fine:


ALSO - in the File menu, the Paste shortcut is given as "Strg+V". I assume "Strg" means "Ctrl" in English? Cut and Copy are correct

EDIT the images are not showing up here, so here's some links if they don't show up for you either:

Hmmm - thats odd.

I get the picture include.

What version of Windows are you using ? And in what is your default language ?

I see the error in the edit menu as well.

It looks like the square should be interpreted as a space or maybe a line break between the name of the tool tip, and the keyboard shortcut to access it. Unfortunately I don't see the keyboard shortcut when I hover over a toolbar icon (I just get the description), so I don't see the square. Is there an option to turn that on?

[Cliff3D]

I'm using Windows XP, SP3, in the United Kingdom (REAL English!) 

[MrTAToad]

Certain is

I'll see what it looks like in XP here...

Yes - it happens in XP.  But not in Windows 7...

[Cliff3D]

These weird squares abound throughout the IDE

[MrTAToad]

Ooh I do

Probably why he went on holiday 

[Cliff3D]

Either that or he sensed my approach to the forum!

[MrTAToad]

I wonder if the German version also has the same problem in XP ?

[Kitty Hello]

Yes, I was on cave-ation. er - vacation.

[Cliff3D]

Hope you enjoyed it (did you go spelunking? {cave action!}, but also glad you're back. I'm particularly eager to hear what plans you have for including jpeg support?

[Kitty Hello]

the jpeg library is sort of a beast. I tried to use a newer version but it really didn't play nice. It's on my TODO, though and will stay until I really fixed it. On Windows it should work, though.

[Cliff3D]

Ah! If it works on Windows that should be good for me while I'm at such an early stage of development

Any chance of support for other filetypes? .TIF, maybe? 

[Kitty Hello]

Try to find the thread where they persuaded me to add jpeg support and see how many problems I have from that to get an answer on tif.

Honestly - pack your program with a command line tool that can convert anything to png and use that with SHELLCMD instead.
