UTF-8

SimonThome · Jul 24th 2012, 12:31pm

I am trying to display τ (tau) in a cell of a ListView, but the incorrect or black character is displayed instead.

I am using emWin5.16, I have also tried using GUI_UC_SetEncodeUTF8(); before I call LISTVIEW_SetItemText(hItem, 0, 14, "\xcf\x84"); or LISTVIEW_SetItemText(hItem, 0, 14, "τ");

What am I doing wrong here?

Hello Simon,

Please make sure that the font which is used for the LISTVIEW widget contains the characters you like to display. If you like to change the font you can use the function LISTVIEW_SetFont() to this.

Please let me know, if there is anything else you would like to know.

Best regards,
Adrian

Thanks Adrian,

Which of the standard emWin fonts can I use? At the moment the Widgets are using the default font

Or will I need to create my own fonts?

Hello Simon,

You can use any font which includes the characters you like to display. If you like to display the "Tau" character, you will need to create your own font.

Best regards,
Adrian
