Several of the strings begin with a chr(63) <might be chr(65) I don't have
one open at the momentand appear to be unicode (2 bytes per char).
Several begin with chr(255) and appear to be charW <??(four bytes per
char)
Most of these appear to be just ascii srings (in presumably different
encoding) as I can read them if I open the font in font browser, the
designer name for example.
I've tried:
Dim unicodeBytes As Byte() = [unicode].GetBytes(strIn)I'm getting nothing sensible back. Is the initial character (63 / 255) I'm
Dim asciiBytes As Byte() = Encoding.Convert([unicode], ascii, unicodeBytes)
Dim asciiChars(ascii.GetCharCount(asciiBytes, 0, asciiBytes.Length)) As Char
ascii.GetChars(asciiBytes, 0, asciiBytes.Length, asciiChars, 0)
Dim asciiString As New String(asciiChars)
Return asciiString
seeing part of the string? Any suggestions on how to make this conversion
work as I'd like it to?
