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 am developing an application in German. This means I have umlauts. When I was using rails version 0.13.1 there seemed to be no further configuration needed for umlauts to be shown correctly. Now I have upgraded to 0.14.2 and the umlauts are being displayed at ''?''s. I changed the encoding of the page and it is UTF-8. I have also tried the steps listed at

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''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

I''m trying to get basic unicode support working using the "Iteration A1" sample application from the "Agile Web Development With Rails" book.

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

On Windows XP, I played the AAF demo (svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/demo) that works nicely with English content. However, if the keyword is non-English (no matter whether there is any content in db), the server immediately causes memory leak over 1GB and stops responding. The languages I tried include: French (utf-8) German (utf-8) Spanish (utf-8) Chinese (utf-8) Japanese
