Symbols like € œ when given as part of text are displayed differently

kusumk

Hi,
I have to display € œ as part of the text element. In the qml file the above symbols are shown properly but when i run the program. They are shown differently.

Please let me know how i can resolve this problem. I have run it on desktop only.

Regards
Kusuma

welcome to devnet

This must have to do with the different character sets used. Unfortunately (or maybe luckily), I am displaying only standard sets. But the section you need to focus on should be with "QLocale":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtcore/qlocale.html

[edit] Hope this helps somehow. :)

Thanks for the reply.

Hi this is the qml file i have used ..

@
import QtQuick 1.0
Rectangle {
width: 360
height: 360
Text {
text: qsTr("Hello World € æ œ")
anchors.centerIn: parent
}
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: {
Qt.quit();
}
}
}

The output window shows diff characters for euro and french symbols. I am running this program in ubuntu 11.10. It must be using standard charsets right? I am not knowing how to link/use QLocale to this piece of code.

you can find a snapshot of the output here -

Sorry, I did not pay attention that it was posted under Qt Quick. I am not of any help here.
