Autolisp read file encording

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I created a lisp that loads the .gml file and prints the data to autocad. The problem arises when printing text in autocad, because it does not print some characters well. How do I solve this?

Not sure whats in a GML but your font can make printing extended characters work, try dingbats. Use a TTF.

To make it clearer I am submitting an lsp and gml file. Therefore, when printing text in autocad, some characters from the gml file are not recognized.

Replace local letters with UNICODE codes and use TTF fonts or shx fonts that support UNICODE characters.

Create macro in your text editor and use it on gml or any text file that uses Croatian alphabet.

I thought there was some decoding command inside the lisp file...

Only if you or your users use latest version of Autocad then these changes to vl-xxx functions apply

If you want to create scrips that will work in older version than this is the only viable solution since

older function supported only ANSI

There is LISPSYS system variable used to controls which AutoLISP engine is used and the behavior of the function.

0 - ASCII character support (legacy behavior)

1 or 2 - Unicode character support
