thomas Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 i was working on a v.11.01 of vectorworks and I updated to 11.5. However, since I am a user in Greece I use Greek fonts (unicode fonts)but I encountered a problem with the capital Greek "Σ" which can be written ok but everytime I try to edit the text every instance of it changes to "". The program also has a problem identifing this letter on file names as well. I use a windows 2000 (service pack 4). Why this stupid behaviour? Doesn't VW use the unicode encoding? and if not why? Aren't we all non english speaking users entitled to support of our language? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Did you buy VW directly from us, or from one of the international distributors? Quote Link to comment
thomas Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 I Bought it from a local distributor (local in terms of country but he is still in another town). I usually don't have the support I need and in a world full of Autocad I have to fight my battles to persuade people to use your software. Having problems with fonts like the one I have REALLY gives your excellent software a bad name. Why on earth don't you support fully the unicode encoding? Even Microsoft does! Quote Link to comment
thomas Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 is there no remedy for my troubles? Quote Link to comment
Kong Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I think, NNA probably check fitback about font and charactor from local user. now. i haven't comment. Quote Link to comment
firooz Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 does VW 11.5 support unicode fonts (running on Mac OSX 10.3.9)? if not, will any future versions of the software? are there any 3rd party solutions? i need answers folks. not all projects are done for english speaking clients...

islandmon Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Yesterday I made the mistake of including a Symbol Font in an equation note and the result was ... well ... utterly wierd ... objects disappeared or became inaccessible...layers simply vanished ... the file was unworkable until I removed that one instance of Symbol Font... thankfully I am all to mindful of these Font issues. Beware all unsuspecting Users. Quote Link to comment
thomas Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 the problem I described in previous posts remains unanswered! Where is Nemetschek support when you really need it? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Thomas, You need to contact your local distributor to have them troubleshoot the problem. They are to handle all of your technical support needs. Quote Link to comment
thomas Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Now VW 12, but still no unicode support!!!!!What the f.... do they think when it comes to creating a piece of software to be sold internationally? How does Nemetschek NA expects us to use its own software when all competition has turned to unicode? It's not just a wish item, IT'S A NECESSITY. Don't you get it? Do something Nemetschek, and do it fast, or expect to lose many international customers Quote Link to comment
