[wxhaskell-users] textCtrl and unicode

[Eric <er...@ma...>]

Dear all,

I have written the following program:

import Graphics.UI.WX

main = start $ do
  f <- frame [text := "Traqer"]
  p <- panel f []
  t <- textCtrl p [text := "\x3008\x3009", clientSize := sz 300 300]
  set f [layout := container p $ fill $ widget t, clientSize := sz 400 400]
  return()

However a box appears instead of the unicode characters '\x3008' and '\x3009'. 

Does wxhaskell not support these unicode characters?

I don't know - I'm using the binary that came with the Windows 
distribution...

Thanks for including a minimal example!

When I run this, I see something that looks like open and close
brackets, which I bet is what you were expecting.

Is your wxWidgets compiled with --enable-unicode?

Thanks,

Hmm, I'm afraid I can't help much there.

I imagine it's either an issue with the fonts or the distribution,
as I have the Unicode stuff working fine on my Linux box.

I'll attach the code to UTF8Sampler if it helps (this is in the
darcs repository, but for some reason, it was omitted from the
distribution, probably an oversight).

Maybe other Windows users have experience to comment?

Whoops, you'll want this file too

Windows experience with non-Ascii symbols:

I tried to print the suits (\x03 through \x06) for a buttoned solitair
game. It didn't work. They do appear on the teletype ghc console, but on
the wx buttons only  boring squares are printed.

Did I compile wx Widgets ...
I don't know, and I don't want to know.

Thanks. I've run the UTF8Sampler - Some stuff appears but no Chinese, 
Korean, Tibetan, Mongolian or Japanese characters.

By any chance, could it just be a matter of fonts?
