"Block(?)" & "Bar Graph" Issue

Post by openwrld »

Using Smartie on my DIY serial LCD emulating CFA-632. Almost command sets thought to be implemented and treated correctly.

And I am having some problems with $Bar(...) functions on Smartie. I see some correct blocks, half blocks, underlines.
But very frequently I see '?' character at the edge of the bar graph. (This is the problem)

I tried function#9 of demo.dll.

I got : AAAAA?BBBBB
(and sometimes AAAAABBBBBB)


I first thought this is cause of bugs in my implementations of emulating CFA-632. But after series of tries, I think, it shouldnt be.


**
Can it be a problem with Code Page or Encoding problem?
I see the '?' mark on my Smartie preview screen, too, just like on my LCD.

My codepage is 949 and using Korean Regional Settings.

...

That '?' mark is totally tiring me... :(

Plz Help me!

Dont have V2 Chars..

Post by openwrld »

Unfortunately, I dont have V2 chars in my LCD's CGROM.

I tried MS AppLocale yesterday. I tried English, Japanese Locale for test for smartie.

I got a better result with Japanese Locale setting. (I dont see '?' chars with the setting)
And English local setting gave the same result as Korean Locale does.

Locale Setting really affects.


You can check it yourself if you can install Korean Language Pack and MS AppLocale.
