Truncation a name without the need for this

[BNyzjrCWDf]

Hello.

Perhaps I found an error in XYplorer (18.60).

Would you please fix it?
Thanks.

1) What's the font name and size?

I only use the font "Code2000", because it is a font with full UNICODE support.
Fonts from Microsoft are not.
I need to support all UNICODE code points in the font, because I use a lot of different languages ​​(English, Russian, Japanese, Polish, German, Chinese, Korean).

I installed the font and tested your files: no problem!

Maybe it's caused by using Windows XP in Classic Theme? I'll continue thinking about it...

In the next beta version, you can do this:

Code: Select all

text get("textmetrics", "uPpEr_FAQ");

Result should be something like this:

Code: Select all

Text: uPpEr_FAQ

Width: 83/85/83 pixels
Height: 19 pixels
Fontname: Code2000
Fontsize: 11,25
Fontbold: No
Fontitalic: No

These three values should be identical, but they are not.
83/85/83
This means the font is not correctly constructed, in other words the font has a bug.

Now it seams that the Win 8.1 API works around that bug, but the XP API does not.
Over here (Win 8.1) that string has 83 pixels, and is not truncated.

Thanks a lot. I will look for another full UNICODE font.

But why do Explorer and CubicExplorer display these names correctly?

I can tell you more after you did the test:

Code: Select all

text get("textmetrics", "uPpEr_FAQ");

Next beta...

BTW, it might just be one buggy character, maybe the capital "Q"...

I just downloaded version 18.70. The problem is present.
Ok. I will wait next beta version to run the test (text get("textmetrics", "uPpEr_FAQ");).

I also noticed that the Explorer also truncates names in "List" mode. Microsoft must die.

Also I want to say that the problem is not in the symbol "Q". Folder "_Tor" was also truncated. Folder "TOR" was not truncated. I'm assuming the problem is with the upper/lower case of letters.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info.

The new beta is available now.

Curious results. I cannot see any suspicious pattern or character.

Anyway, I think I can work around that truncation (next beta). Always a pleasure to surpass Explorer...

Thank you so much. I'll look forward to the new version.

Did it work?

Did it work?

Yes! Now everything is displayed perfectly. Thank you so much! XYplorer is the best file manager.

Thank you.

Had to limit this workaround to XP. It lead to other problems in other Windows versions.
