Umlaut in eps export [SOLVED]

Post by sm » Wed Apr 13, 2005 7:36 am

I am exporting charts to eps using Kylix 3/TChart 7. This works so far, but I don't get Umlauts (i.e. ä or similar) to work. Depending on what I do, I get nothing instead or no displayable characters.

How do I get Umlauts in my eps files displayed?

Thank you.

I was able to fix the problem by altering the EPS files which TeeChart produces.

I had to add a vector reencoding function mentioned in the PostScript Language Reference at chapter 5.9.1 and then change all umlauts into their according octal code from table E7 of the same document.

This should be added to the EPS export of TeeChart.

Yes, you're correct. I'll log this to our to-do list. As you might have already noticed, eps export format is still missing some features. We'll try to add more functionality for next major release.
