Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Users of IBM Personal Communications using host code page * * 1130 and 1164 in Windows 7 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * Some Vietnamese characters are not displayed on IBM Personal * * Communications emulator screen on Windows 7 operating * * system. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Some of the Vietnamese characters are not displayed on IBM Personal Communications emulator screen. For example: (O+5) and (I+8). This occurs only in Windows 7. Vietnamese characters, are converted to Unicode equivalents before displayed on the emulator. Some of the Vietnamese characters do not have a valid code point in the Unicode, hence these characters are not displayed on the emulator. However, under Windows XP all the characters are correctly displayed, since conversion does not take place in Windows XP.
Problem conclusion
PCSWS.EXE has been changed to avoid conversion to Unicode before displaying on the emulator. This is done by passing ETO_IGNORELANGUAGE flag to ExtTextOut API. Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.13 Refresh Pack
Temporary fix
