Special Unicode fonts

Handling: precautionary measures

6.5.2 Multi-languages: Example

Î Switch to a di󰀨erent language with the button (set the variable with the mouse

button held down).

Examples: Translate "Happy Birthday" to Czech using the "HTML TAG” type.

The Czech requires an expansion of the European characters, which can be

downloaded by logging into the SBC Support site.

Procedure:

● The Unicode font .bft le(s) with expanded European character set must be cop-

ied into INTFLASH /FONT (see section "6.1 Connecting via FTP access" on page

5-1).

● Web Editor: create the static text "Happy Birthday” and select "HTML TAG” as the

source type.

● Under the "Text Positions Advanced” tab for position settings: if you are using

exotic characters (such as Katakana, Chinese, etc.), we recommend sticking with

the default settings for the text position (not centred or justied).

● In some typefaces, it is not possible to represent all Unicode characters. We rec-

ommend using the "Arial Unicode MS" or "MS Sans Serif" typefaces, as they are

well suited to use with Unicode characters.

DonotedittheCSVleintheS-WebEditordirectly, because the text window

of the S-Web Editor will save the CSV le in ASCII mode. You could, for example,

use Notepad to edit your CSV les (or another text editor, which allows you to save

the les in Unicode format). In the Notepad "Save As" dialog box, you can select

the "Unicode” entry in the dropdown menu under "Encoding". In MS Excel, use the

format "Unicode Text”.

Once you have saved your CSV les in the Unicode format and selected a typeface

in the HMI which can be used to display Unicode characters, then the Unicode

strings should be displayed properly. If you want to use Unicode, you do not need to

make any further settings in the S-Web Editor.
