Hello there Loic.<br><br>I presume your problem has to do with the font and not the database. I have recently implemented a database with a combination of Greek and French letters and it was a nightmare to make them work in Director. Here are some things I came up with:<br>
a) If you import data in VStudio from a text file, use UTF-16 encoding to preserve all "weird" characters<br>b) Any font you use in Director version 11 and above has definitely to be UNICODE<br>c) If you use a unicode system font (like Arial Unicode) then all characters should appear fine and have styling as well (bold, italics)<br>
d) If you embedd the font in Director, then weird things happen, like: 1) you cannot have styling (ignored in Text window), 2) if you apply styling then most probably you will loose the French accented characters. So instead import the font again, choose a Style from the Insert>Font... menu and give a different name to the Font cast member, which you will use in the Text window.<br>
<br>I haven't used the IOEncoding property and don't think would have made any difference. I strongly believe, the problem lies within the lame font manipulation by Director 11 or 11.5. In any case you can try my advice and provide some feedback.<br>

Hi Ruslan<br>
<br>
I just try this mod but without result :<br>
<br>
Valentina = new( xtra "Valentina" )<br>
Valentina.init( 9 * 1024 * 1024, "", "" )<br>
Valentina.debugLevel = #kLogErrors<br>
<br>
gDB = new ( xtra "VDatabase" )<br>
gDB.Open( the moviepath & "/db/lrp.vdb" )<br>
gDB.IOEncoding = "France"<br>
<br>
I tried some other parameters : UTF-8, Latin1...without result to.<br>
<br>
I don't know where to find precisions about this property (IOEncoding) since, in Pdf Manuel, it is only mentioned in summary ?<br>
<br>
Best regards, an thank you<br>
<br>
Loïc<br>
