Unicode in stack title

[Richmond Mathewson]

When I did this:

on mouseUp
  put unidecode("ХЛЯБ","Bulgarian") into TWORD
  set the name of wd "untitled 1" to TWORD
end mouseUp

it put ïãüÅ into the name of the stack.

-------------------------------------------

this:

on mouseUp
  put unidecode("ХЛЯБ","Bulgarian") into TWORD
  set the title of wd "untitled 1" to TWORD
end mouseUp

produced similar results.

---------------------------------------------

I don't think it is safe to assume end-users will have their
computer OS language settings set to their native language.

For instance, here in Bulgaria, as setting Windows to Bulgarian, results in a half-cock job, most professionals leave the OS setting as English US;
this does not always mean they know any English - they just learn enough
cues to navigate around the OS to serve their needs.

---------------------------------------------

Probably the way to guarantee that your window title appears
in the language and writing system of your choice rests in
having a font of that writing system embedded in your stack/standalone.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
