UNICODE/ARABIC

Hello,

first post on here so hope i dont break any rules.

My problem:

I have a static piece of text in arabic which i need to print out to a
printer, or the screen for that matter as am not using MFC in my
printing. I have read up on this all day and am SO confused now, I have
read about UNICODE, MBCS etc etc some people recommend creating a CFONT
and using this, so far i have not even managed to print any arabic.

Am using visual C++ 6.0 and windows XP OS, as i say i dont need to do
anything clever, i even thought i might just do a print screen on the
arabic text and display it as a BMP this is how desperate i am getting.

If anyone has any example code, articles, advice ANYTHING i would
really appreciate this.

thanks

ADAM

No problem. Besides your entire question is off-topic because it asks
nothing about the raw C++ language itself. ;-)

Your problem is you don't know _what_ you don't know, yet.

Try this:

Download the section on Localization (the second big link), and read it
straight through.

Then ask any questions to a newsgroup that specializes in programming
localizations for Win32. Always post to the narrowest possible newsgroup,
for best results.

Dear readers, Unicode files, like created with wordpad, have the Hebrew and Arabic characters reversed as you would view it. For example: 'this is ARABIC' viewed in wordpad would be in the file as 'this is CIBARA'. (Where capitals are Arabic or Hebrew and small caps any left_to_right written language.) Does anyone has a snippet of code that would convert such an unicode string into the order as viewed?

Hi, I am handling a mixed languages text file encoded in UTF-8. Theres is mainly French, English and Asian languages. I need to detect every asian characters in order to enclose it by a special tag for latex. Does anybody know if there is a unicode "table of character" implementation in python? I mean, I give a character and python replys me with the language in which the character occurs. Thanks in advance

What I have is a bunch of text in arabic, and series of Unicode bytes which represent those arabic words (like this: \'c2\'e4\'f6\'d3\'f3\'c9 \'f1). Now I have to figure out how to convert my arabic text to bunch of \'somethings. If I understood Unicode correctly (and I'm not sure if I did), I first have to figure out which encoding this is (UTF-16 or UTF-32 or some other) and then convert the letters to their byte representation. I think...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
