Enriched Blocktext ignores custom models

[errox]

Hi there!

I encountered a problem with the Enriched Block Text:
If "special" characters are contained in the string, the textblock ignores the custom models (scale, font, yoff..)
This also happens if the font has the specific characters!

Two example strings:
1. "郑州轻工业学院国际教育学院"
2. "。"

Is there a trick about it or is it a bug?

Cheers!

Karol? Any idea?:>

Hi!

This works for me! Are you sure that you are using a Font which contains these Chinese (?) characters.

Cheers

Hi,

Make sure that you have the right Character sets enabled in the ProjectProperties --> Culture.

Cherio!

Hi Karol & Daniel,

thanks for your replies!
@Karol: The font has those characters.
@Daniel: All cultures were active.

I found the problem: The string had the wrong encoding: ANSI.
About my project: Parsing xml data via script and assign it to textblocks.
The XMLs had an encoding UTF-8 flag, but the file was/is ANSI encoded.
Thus XDocument drops no exception.

If the xmls have the correct encoding and the font doesn't have the characters,
none of those chars are shown and the custom models work.
Except this strange char: "。" . It doesn't work for me in NO case. Maybe it's a control char ....?


greets!

I found some more chars that are not "enriched text" compatible:
"。" <> .
"，" <> ,
"：" <> :
Please test those characters if you encounter the same problem.
Chars should be in a scaling custom node of enriched text.

Workaround:
I built some parts of the view with the "normal" text provider.
This one cannot change its size.....

But something goes wrong with the enriched one and I don't know why....

I found a solution to avoid previous post problem:
Encode every string into a html-encoded string with System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode.
Too bad that I did not see that before. BUT that class removes chinese signs!
