Chinese SimSun font on phindows   
Hello,

We have a system that's been created using the latest version of the QNX4.25 Product Suite, we have obtained a Chinese 
Supplement license and have created a nice little Chinese system using the Chinese fonts supplied. To me it looks good 
but I have been told by one of our Chinese colleagues it is not acceptable.

We have downloaded the SimSun .ttf file and have installed this and it looks great, the problem is phindows will not 
show it,  I think older versions of phindows have problems with scalable fonts.

Is there anything we can do? Can we upgrade to a later version of phindows?

Thanks and regards,
Pete

Hello Pete,

Sorry for the delay with my answer. We have reproduced this issue and have tried to find solution. Unfortunately it 
seems that TTF fonts will work correctly with both updated Phindows and phrelay. Updated phrelay is available for QNX 6.
5.0 only. There is no such update for QNX 4.25. It seems that you can use only PHF fonts with Phindows.

Respectfully,
Oleg

Hi Oleg,

Just on the topic of Unicode support we have a system that transfers data over a tcp connection to windows that uses the
 printf command in a C program. This program is not UTF-8 compliant and obviously the result is gibberish on the windows
 side when sending Chinese characters. Do you know of an easy way of making this UTF-8 compatible under QNX4.25? 

Regards,
Pete

Hi Pete,

If your Windows program is not UTF-8 compatible then you shouldn't send UTF-8 data to it. You can convert UTF-8 to 
encoding that is supported by Windows program.

Oleg
