Application in international environments

 

From version 6.0 on NotesToPaper supports unicode (http://www.unicode.org/). Unicode provides the basis for processing the content of texts in different languages. Thus almost every script in the world can be defined using one single font.

 

The function calls for the script programming are usually also available as unicode version from version 6.0 on. As a result of the modified definition file, newly created scripts automatically use the unicode versions. Old scripts continue to be executable, as the ANSI function calls are still available.

 

Notice: If the scripts are compiled (saved) with the new version of the definition file, they will no longer be executable with older versions of NotesToPaper.

 

It is also possible to create, design and execute NotesToPaper reports on systems, whose "native language" do not match the content of the report. Therefore it is possible to create and edit a report with Japanese content (Codepage 932 (Japanese)) on a machine with German language settings (Codepage 1252 (Latin)) - provided that the support for the particular language is installed and all technical requirements (e. g. necessary fonts) for printing are given.

 

Note: Only scripts with left-to-right-alignment (LTR) are currently supported. Scripts with right-to-left-alignment (RTL), such as e. g. Arabic or Hebrew, are not displayed properly.
