All, As some of you know, Jeroen has added support for Unicode strings in the unstable development version of FOX (version 1.5). I''m trying to plan ahead to decide how best to support this for FXRuby 1.6, but I don''t really know anything about Ruby''s support for Unicode or i18n in general. If you''re familiar with this topic (how/if Ruby deals with Unicode

I''m trying to get substring from a utf-8 encoded string. (say, first 50 characters of the string) String#[0..49] would give me the first 50 bytes not 50 characters.. I know there is jcode library, but it only let you count number of characters in utf-8 string. unicode gem doesn''t seem to help much. unicode_hacks gem seem to solve the problem, but it also seems to

Hi there, I''m building a rails application for German and English speakers. However, I''m having some problems validating German-specific characters (????). I have a tag-model which validates format of :name, :with => /^\w+$/. This throws an exception if german characters are used. My tables are all utf-8 and my environment.rb has the lines $KCODE = ''u''

I have a few simple controllers doing plain, simple crud in a standard way. now it''s not very DRY to write a funtcional test for each controller, since they are all doing the same (apart from a few variable names, but that could be easily inflected or so). is there a way to do this? e.g. does inheritance work with tests, so i define a base test first, inherit my other tests and add a few

Hi, I am new to Ruby/Rails but totally fall in love with :D Nonetheless, today I am totally stuck with Ri18n. I basically followed the 10 Steps to Make Your Rails Apps Multilingual. No errors are thrown, the english version works as before with the freshly added <%= _('''') %> Still, no translations are performed. Setting I18nService.instance.lang = ''de''

Hi there from Germany, I just installed and set up ferret and act_as_ferret for rails. All of them at the most recent version. The development environment is running fine with Mac OS X. But I got problems with the productive environment (debian). In the (mysql-)database are few records stored, containig german umlauts (? for example). Running a query for "k?ln" returns the correct

Hi, I am sorry to bother you with such a (presumably) simple question, but I have spent a couple of hours browsing the net and R documentation and came up with no answer to it. My problem is that I need to use Latin2 (ISO8859-2) characters in my plots. Adding an encoding="..." parameter to the postscript function does not solve the problem, as the characters still don't show up.

This is 1.3.1 on OpenBSD/amd64. The --no-utf8-convert option of metaflac(1) does not work for me: $ metaflac --no-utf8-convert --set-tag="Artist=?ou?l??ek" aladin.flac aladin.flac: ERROR: tag value for 'Artist' is not valid UTF-8 (You probably can't see the Czech letters properly in my mail, but that's beside the point.) Indeed, it is not valid UTF8 (it's LATIN2),

Hi, I''m sure I''m doing something dumb, but... I have an application that dynamically produces UTF8 encoded html exclusively. This application works using webrick without a problem. When using Mongrel 3.12.4 it looks as though the encoding is lost and garbage appears on the string. I suppose this could also be a double encoding, but personally, I can''t tell the

Multilingual Rails v0.5 is just released with lots of new features. Here is the changelog: v0.5: New charset conversion string-methods. Multilingual Rails always use UTF-8 internally. iconv_to(charset) # Return string as charset iconv_from(charset) # Return string as UTF-8, converted from charset iconv_from!(charset) # Convert string from charset to UTF-8

Well, I see that my last email hasn''t generated any reaction from the Rails core team. It looks like all of them are the happy users of "plain text" (which, as we know by now, doesn''t exist, but still). I apologize in advance for the sore bitterness of this message but I see that the Rails-core STILL, despite all of the efforts, sees these issues as something

How about this: we expose the known conversions of wxMBConv to wxruby global methods. Then we create a $WXSTRING_TO_RUBY and $RUBY_TO_WXSTRING globals that has a reference to those procs. In the ruby-string to wxString typemap, we use ruby to invoke $WXSTRING_TO_RUBY and $RUBY_TO_WXSTRING. That way, if people want a different method, they can write one (even a pure-ruby one) that changes the

I ran across a problem today in which some code ran fine in regular operation but failed in a test case. I scratched my head and thought "why would running from within the test harness change the behavior of my code?" Clearly it was the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in action! :) I discovered the root cause was that the rspec runner is setting the magical ruby global, $KCODE, to
