Lister on XP 64

Giovanni · Post by *Giovanni » 2012-03-25, 00:52 UTC

I just had a really strange display issue with the lister window on Windows XP 64bit.

Here are some screenshots:

All other programs worked fine. The file was plain ansi text. Same on all resolutions.

Don't know if I can reproduce as I only had brief access to the computer.

May be broken font-file 'vgafix.fon' for 'Fixedsys' font?

Could you perhaps upload the test file for us - preferably zipped, so it doesn't get changed during transfer.

I don't think so - look at http://i41.tinypic.com/348hms2.gif - the apparantly missing/blank characters are replaced by the values 3 or 6 - it must have something to do with the encoding of the file.

I used a couple of text editors and they all said that the encoding was plain ASCII text. Even Lister in hex mode showed no BOM (screenshot 3 above). Anyway here you are (screenshots included 57kb): http://www.sendspace.com/file/v1fpvi

Don't know - I did the other view modes in Lister including pressing A (ANSI), S (ASCII) and V (Variable) but all were the same. Other applications had no issues.

I tried your text.txt in TC 8.0b23 under Windows 7 x64 (both 32- and 64-bit TC-version) and under Windows XP x86 and they all show the file as it is supposed to (like your Notepad).

Unfortunately I don't have Windows XP x64 to check with.

Ok, guys!
Here's the file

Code: Select all

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="TAB.TXT"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="TAB.TXT"

I do. I don't have any problems with the files provided, neither tab.txt nor test.txt (from pack.zip).

It may be related to your Russian (?) keyboard layout. Which fonts are you using in TC Lister? Does the same thing happen when you launch TC with a clean INI?

Code: Select all

totalcmd.exe /i="%temp%\fresh.ini"

My language is English and TC was started with a clean INI (first step to troubleshoot) - sorry that I didn't mention these earlier. (Whatever gave you the impression that I was Russian?)

I also forgot to mention that TC7 worked fine, just TC8 had the issue. I only had the 64bit version with me at the time so don't know if the 32bit version was ok.

Thanks for all the replies so far - I'll try to get to that computer again soon, if I can, and test again.

Oops, I'm sorry. I mixed you up with MaxX:

Indeed, LOL!

Dalai · Post by *Dalai » 2012-03-25, 22:06 UTC

I uploaded screenshots of TC's Lister showing both test files:

MaxX's tab.txt: It looks a little different than on MaxX's screenshot but that may be related to the keyboard layout or the font used in Lister.

Giovanni's test.txt: So there's no problem on my system. I'm getting the same result as your notepad.

By the way: there is no Language Pack installed on this particular machine, it's a clean English XP x64 SP2 installation (using German only in TC). TC 8.0 beta 23 x86 is showing the same result on my machine.

I retested on the computer and could not reproduce my original problem. Thanks for trying to help anyway. If I manage to work out what it was then I shall post back here. Sorry for the noise.

There's CP1251 displayed on my image. What CP did you want me to show?

Giovanni wrote:work out what it was

You have (as I can see from your image) just broken font-files or having problems with displaying font. Try to reinstall them from original setup-cd.
Font name is "Fixedsys" and files for it have names like "vga***.fon" (there are files for some of CPs).
