Re:
Spiros, you are encouraged to post your testresults using the code range blocks provided in the initial bugreport, so to ease drawing conclusions.
Allso, display problems at the front End are better verified from page source, to eliminate the more difficult to diagnose browsrer quirk display problems in our testing scenarios.
with best regards, marios

Re:
Thanks Sencer ):
Marios, what exactly do you mean by “code range blocks” and how do I use them for testing? Which php version do you run?
So far, even when viewing source I get the same results more or less.
Unfortunately I have CP so I can only go with what my host offers through CP (I know that technically they can upgrade to php 5.04 and MySQL 4.3.11 but this would “break” some applications which do not support it yet).
By the way, does TXP support this server configuration?

If you have any problems with either of my two explanations of why this is (currently still) intended behaviour, please ask specific questions so I can go into more detail. Sometimes – after diving to deep into a topic – I tend loose the “view and language” of someone not that deep into it. :)
> By the way, does TXP support this server configuration?
Well, there does not exist a mysql4.3 :) But it does support 3.x, 4.0 and 4.1 and (should) 5.0 .

Re:

Spiros,on the initial thread I have used three blocks that use greek characters using not tonos, tonos and the third one using greek/coptic UNI code range together with the unallocated/control characters.(No polytonic though yet)
If you cut and past those into your test or example blog site and do publish, you can compare what would you get both on your Life Site and in your backend.
(The forum is UTF enabled and if yur browser displays them correctly then just try them,so to make sure ,all characters get converted well)
Using php 5
BTW.:There is no extra communication going on between me and Sencer,I saw his commitments on the code from my INFORSS headline new feeder,that’s why I posted:“Woderfull Sencer” before he actually had time to reply,just not to nourrish any suspicions.
Everything is publically available here, don’t worry,
With best regards, marios

Re:
Marios:
You mean this one:
Για νά δουμε πώς δουλέβει αυτό τό π�?άγμα. Τά κάνει πα�?σινγκ ά�?αυε σωστά. Ή θα έχο�?με π�?οβλήματα. Πέστε μο�? εσείς. Ρόδα.
I guess I will have to fix the incorrect characters first?
Sencer:
I do not know who wrote it, but I love this (as well as the allusion):
CODE IS POTTERY

Re:
I was suggesting this:Greek Alphabet without tonos code range values
Α α Β β Γ γ
Δ δ Ε ε Ζ ζ
Η η Θ θ Ι ι
Κ κ Λ λ Μ μ
Ν ν Ξ ξ Ο ο
Π π Ρ ρ Σ σ
Τ τ Υ υ Φ φ
Χ χ Ψ ψ Ω ω
Greek Alphabet with tonos code range values wherever possible
’Α ά Β β Γ γ
Δ δ Έ έ Ζ ζ
Ή ή Θ θ Ί ί
Κ κ Λ λ Μ μ
Ν ν Ξ ξ Ό ό
Π π Ρ ρ Σ σ
Τ τ Ύ ύ Φ φ
Χ χ Ψ ψ Ώ ώ
Greek and Coptic [0370-03FF]
037 038 039 03A 03B 03C 03D 03E 03F
0 Ͱ ΐ Π ΰ π ϐ Ϡ ϰ 0
1 ͱ Α Ρ α ρ ϑ ϡ ϱ 1
2 Ͳ Β β ς ϒ Ϣ ϲ 2
3 ͳ Γ Σ γ σ ϓ ϣ ϳ 3
4 ʹ ΄ Δ Τ δ τ ϔ Ϥ ϴ 4
5 ͵ ΅ Ε Υ ε υ ϕ ϥ ϵ 5
6 Ͷ Ά Ζ Φ ζ φ ϖ Ϧ ϶ 6
7 ͷ · Η Χ η χ ϗ ϧ Ϸ 7
8 Έ Θ Ψ θ ψ Ϙ Ϩ ϸ 8
9 Ή Ι Ω ι ω ϙ ϩ Ϲ 9
A ͺ Ί Κ Ϊ κ ϊ Ϛ Ϫ Ϻ A
B ͻ Λ Ϋ λ ϋ ϛ ϫ ϻ B
C ͼ Ό Μ ά μ ό Ϝ Ϭ ϼ C
D ͽ Ν έ ν ύ ϝ ϭ Ͻ D
E ; Ύ Ξ ή ξ ώ Ϟ Ϯ Ͼ E
F Ϳ Ώ Ο ί ο Ϗ ϟ ϯ Ͽ F 037 038 039 03A 03B 03C 03D 03E 03F
So you have all the charracters.
(I used Firefox for this1.04,browser set to UTF-8)

I allso liked this, allso you are most certainly welcome for a ‘physical’ meeting at some point under a ούζο-μεζές scenario

Re:
Given that we are getting a bit offtopic here, I would like you to pay attention to this feat:
http://www.ianalbert.com/misc/unichart.php
A chart with all unicode-characters that are available. To quote:
I estimated I could print the whole thing on about a 36“×36” poster. Well, my estimates were off. It turned out to be about 6 feet by 12 feet.
Ain’t that something…

Re:
My recent experiments using r653 with a UTF-8 database and connection and using a localized backend show that charracters in the browser title headers get mangeld.
(I’ve installed the language file manually)
For example,the output for the localized lang string under prefs(between the title tags of the backend’s pagesource) is something like this:
<code>Textpattern › ξ•ο€ξµξύξµοξ³ξ±οƒξ―ξ± ξµο€ξήξ»ξώξ³οξ½</code>
One other small observation for the option strings for the localized date/time settings in the dropdownbox under prefs gives somethings like this:
<code>ÐáñáóêåõÞ Éïýëéïò 29, 2005</code>
In any case, those are minor shortcomings.
