wxruby users - Apr 2009 - Displaying Asian characters in StyledTextCtrl

Hi,

I used r18n-desktop (http://r18n.rubyforge.org/) for localization, it
worked well.

But I have trouble displaying Chinese characters in StyledTextCtrl,

  On Mac, the control accepts characters, but failed to save (could be
problems in my application, the file becomes empty)
  on Windows, typed or copied chinese characters showed as blocks,
failed to save as well.

I did a search ''Unicode'' in this forum, couldn''t find
relevant posts.

Thanks,
Zhimin

I did notice this as well, few meaningful examples found on Internet.

 def initialize
   super()
   self.set_code_page(STC_CP_UTF8)
 end

The problem (not being able to save the file) remains.

> How exactly are you saving the file?
class EditorSession < Wx::StyledTextCtrl

    def initialize
      super
      # ...
      self.set_code_page(STC_CP_UTF8)
      # ...
    end

    def save_file(name)
      puts "calling save file #{name} "
      begin
        super
        puts "saved Ok"
        # ...
      rescue => e
        puts "error: saving file: #{e}"
        logger.warn "failed to save #{name}: #{e}"
      end
    end

Output:
  calling save file F:/samples/chinese_spec.rb
  saved Ok

Then the file content is cleared.
