JohnP Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Hello! I am using Labview 8.6 LINUX I would like to add Greek characters in labels and in strings but no luck. Is it possible to add Unicode characters or iso-8859-7 and how? Thank you very much!!! Quote Link to comment

Is it possible to add Unicode characters or iso-8859-7 and how? LabVIEW doesn't support unicode characters, but does support wide characters. I've not been able to get wide characters to display Chinese yet, so I'd like to know if you manage to get Greek characters to display. There are some third party controls that can be dropped into LabVIEW that can add unicode support; appologies that I don't have a link at the moment to point you to them. Tim Quote Link to comment

I did a bit of poking about and discovered two articles: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=123821 http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Comp/comp.lang.labview/2008-02/msg00510.html I tried the 'UseUnicode=TRUE' with Chinese characters and that seems to have worked. Labels don't seem to take unicode, but button text and string text seem to accept them. Tim Quote Link to comment

JohnP Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) ok...fixed! in ubuntu 10.04 works out of the box without editing ini file, [ there is unicode also in labels ]. Another question, can i use smooth fonts - antialiasing ? Everything works fine in ubuntu [ smooth fonts ]except in labview. Any suggestions? Edited May 21, 2010 by JohnP Quote Link to comment
