Windows VM Unicode support...

Chris Petsos
 
OK...you can find everyting you need for the Unicode Windows VM here...
 
 
I did a few fixes to the code i posted yesterday...
The zip has installation notes but I will also paste them here so that anyone can google-find various terms used there...
 
------------------------------- INSTALLATION NOTES -----------------------------------------
"You should be using the Unicode/UTF8 VM... SqueakUnicodeUTF8.exe"
"I tested it on the latest eToys image for OLPC."
 
"Let's start..."
 
"Drag 'n Drop UnicodeEnvironment.cs -> fileIn entire file"
 
"Drag 'n Drop GreekEnvironment.cs -> fileIn entire file."
 
"Execute this*"
Locale currentPlatform: (Locale localeID: (LocaleID isoString: 'el')).
 
"Drag 'n Drop TTFUnicodeFix.cs -> fileIn entire file."
 
"Drag 'n Drop your favourite TT Unicode font."
 
"Now you should have a new font installed."
"Highlight a text."
"Hit Alt+k and select your new font"
 
"
Well...that was it...type in your locale's specific unicode characters and see them getting
rendered with a beautiful TT unicode font.
"
 
"Now, this version should be working OK for other languages too."
"Please feel free to test it for other languages and other image versions too..."
 
"
So, now...
 1) you have a VM that is sending unicode chars to eToys (thanks to Diomidis Spinellis...)
 2) you have a fixed Unicode font support (thanks to Bert Freudenberg...)
 3) you have UTF-8 clipboard functionality (thanks to me!...and all the Vm-dev support @:) )
 4) you have a unicode environment inside the image (thanks to me again of course!) ;-)
"
 
"
Ok...enough with happy talking...any problems that you'll encounter (hope you won't)
please post them up...
"
 
 
 
"*To execute: (Highlight -> Alt+d)"
 
------------------------------- INSTALLATION NOTES -----------------------------------------
 
 
Christos.

OK, my beautiful MS Outlook Express did something nasty with the URL link...
Please copy/paste this URL to your web browser...

http://users.kef.sch.gr/chrispetsos/WindowsUnicodeVM.zip

Sorry for the (Windows) inconvenience...

Re: Windows VM Unicode support...

Thanks guys. I have integrated your changes (while tidying them up a
little and fixing a few bugs) in the mainstream VM sources at
SqueakVM.org. I've also done a quick pass over the file and directory
primitives (which now also take UTF-8 input) so if you could give this a
try to see if it works that would be great. The result is an
experimental VM here:

http://www.squeakvm.org/win32/release/SqueakVM-Win32-3.10.1-bin.zip
http://www.squeakvm.org/win32/release/SqueakVM-Win32-3.10.1-src.zip

Let me know if (with your image-side fixes on top) this VM behaves
correctly.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
