Dear Andrew,
I have this issue with the Eastern Europe characters encoding in QCad. Can you help me solving it, please?
I describe my drawings in Czech. We use Latin-2 / Windows-1250 / ISO-8859-2 ASCII table.
When I enter high ASCII characters save the drawing and restart QCad, the characters are then shown in their Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) representation.
An example:
I write ŘEZ BOČNÍ.
Č and Ř are typical Czech characters.
They do not exist in the Latin-1 ASCII table.
In the Latin-2 ASCII table, their position is:
"Č" - HEX C8 (Unicode point = 010C)
"Ř" - HEX D8 (Unicode point = 0158)
When I reopen the drawing, my text "ŘEZ BOČNÍ" is replaced with "ØEZ BOÈNÍ".
In Latin-1 ASCII table:
È - HEX C8 (Unicode point = 00C8)
Ø - HEX D8 (Unicode point = 00D8)
You can see that the ASCII HEX points are the same, Unicode points are obviously different.
What can I do to save my text in drawings in Unicode or to keep QCad from switching to Latin-1, please?
I use:
QCad Professional 3.26.2.0 (3.26.2), 64-bit
Windows 10 64-bit
R27 DXF format

Re: High ASCII characters changing after restart
Please attach your drawing file, so we check if the problem still exists in 3.26.3, thanks.

Re: High ASCII characters changing after restart
This should be fixed in QCAD 3.26.4 which is now available from your download link.
