[MacPorts] #21698: nedit 5.5 File Dialogue Box Failures
#21698: nedit 5.5 File Dialogue Box Failures -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: reed@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: nedit file dialogue failure | Port: nedit 5.5 -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- The directry-selection features (including Filter) fail to work properly. This makes it difficult to save a file where you want to save it. Op sys OS X 10.6. Also, upon startup, nedit reports: "UTF8 locale not supported." Sorry, no log available. Here follows a sample of errors reported when I was attempting to get the File dialogue box to work: {{{ Name: FilterText Class: XmTextField Character '\145' not supported in font. Discarded. Name: FilterText Class: XmTextField Character '\162' not supported in font. Discarded. Name: FilterText Class: XmTextField Character '\163' not supported in font. Discarded. Name: FilterText Class: XmTextField Character '\57' not supported in font. Discarded. }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21698> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

This involves two steps: change the character encoding for the MacOS Terminal window to something nedit can handle and change the default text font in nedit to something compatible with the system. 1) Bring up a Terminal window. Then go to the Terminal Menu a the top of the screen and choose Preferences... Click on the “Settings” tab and then pick “Western (ISO Latin 1)” from the Character encoding menu (this is the ISO8859-1 encoding). Close the Preferences window. 2) This step may not be necessary, I did this first and then did step #1. Edit the ~/.nedit/nedit.rc file using vi or something and change the nedit.textFont properties as follows: nedit.textFont: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-- 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 nedit.boldHighlightFont: -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal-- 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 nedit.italicHighlightFont: -adobe-courier-medium-o-normal-- 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 nedit.boldItalicHighlightFont: -adobe-courier-bold-o-normal-- 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 This seems to have solved this problem for me. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21698#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Hopefully this is better: {{{ nedit.textFont: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-- 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 nedit.boldHighlightFont: -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal-- 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 nedit.italicHighlightFont: -adobe-courier-medium-o-normal-- 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 nedit.boldItalicHighlightFont: -adobe-courier-bold-o-normal-- 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21698#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
