charset table file

Hello,

I use Slovak locale support for photon. In photon application like ped it’s
OK, but I have problems with pterm (photon terminal). Have you any idea how
to localize pterm?
I try set any fonts whitch but I still have problems with encoding (I use
Slovak - latin2).
I found in pterm properties window charset changer - it wants *.cs file, but
I have not it,
I found only photon/translations file: 8859-2.tab. Where is *.cs for latin2
or how to convert *.tab file to *.cs file?

Thanks

Hi Lubo,

I have spoken with one of the developers and here is the info he provided.

The utility for editing .cs files, called ptermcs, hasn’t been ported to
QNX6 yet. If you have access to Photon 1.14, you should be able to take a
cs file built under Photon 1.14, and use it under QNX 6. If not, you can
either wait for us to port ptermcs or write your own using the
PxTerminalBuildCharsets() and PxTerminalSaveCharsets() functions.

One tricky part about pterm’s support for character sets is that all the
fonts from your pterm’s custom font list must use the character encoding
that the .cs file specifies. For instance, it’s not possible to mix
Unicode fonts with our terminal fonts because our terminal fonts use the
PC character set and not Unicode.

Hope this helps
Regards
Brenda
