Cyrillic sharset support?

Post by vasiliy » Tue Oct 14, 2008 2:55 am

Hello.

Does DiffMerge support the cyrillic chartset? I can not select cyrillic's fonts in the Options.
Cyrillic fonts are available in the System.

DiffMerge is a Unicode application. This means that when we load files we convert the
data in the files from the native character encoding into Unicode and then display and
operate on the files using Unicode. When we save files we convert them to the original
encoding.

This means that you usually don't need to select a special font to display different
8-bit character sets/code pages (Latin-1, Latin-2, etc) -- a good Unicode Courier font
can handle most cases.

Instead, tell DiffMerge of the encoding of the files using a Ruleset. Then when the
files are loaded, they we be mapped to Unicode properly.

In the right portion of the status bar, DiffMerge lists the character encoding that it
selected when importing the files. The center portion of the status bar lists the Ruleset
that was selected. Adjust that Ruleset or create a new one for the suffix of your files
and set the encoding. Then close the window with the files in it and reopen it.

Hopefully this will take care of the problem.

Thank you for the info.
I will look at the rulesets.
