Strange character on input numbers [SOLVED]

[wmayer]

Do you get the strange character for any input field or only for the one of the screen shot? And when you execute this snippet below do you get also strange characters or normal input?

Code: Select all

from PySide import QtGui
s=QtGui.QDoubleSpinBox()
s.setValue(1.5)
s.show()

And what happens with?

Code: Select all

ui=FreeCADGui.UiLoader()
q=ui.createWidget("Gui::QuantitySpinBox")
q.setProperty("unit","mm")
q.show()

Then it would also a bit of help to identify the ASCII code of the characters:

Code: Select all

t = "..." # set here the text with copy&paste
for i in t: print (ord(i))

And to get some information about your locales you could try this:

Code: Select all

from PySide import QtCore
loc=QtCore.QLocale.system()
loc.country()
loc.language()
loc.measurementSystem()
loc.negativeSign()
loc.toString(1.5)

Hi wmayer,
Answering your questions, yes, the problem is with all the menus, not just the one on the screenshot.

Do you get the strange character for any input field or only for the one of the screen shot? And when you execute this snippet below do you get also strange characters or normal input?

Code: Select all

from PySide import QtGui
s=QtGui.QDoubleSpinBox()

s.show()

And what happens with?

Code: Select all

ui=FreeCADGui.UiLoader()
q=ui.createWidget("Gui::QuantitySpinBox")
q.setProperty("unit","mm")
q.show()

Both codes result in this incomprehensive characters (attached images)

Code: Select all

t = "١,٥٠"
[ord(nt) for nt in t]
[217, 161, 44, 217, 165, 217, 160]

And to get some information about your locales you could try this:

Code: Select all

from PySide import QtCore
loc=QtCore.QLocale.system()
loc.country()
loc.language()
loc.measurementSystem()
loc.negativeSign()
loc.toString(1.5)

The information resultant from this test is:

Code: Select all

country: PySide.QtCore.QLocale.Country.Spain
negativeSign: -
meassurementSystem: PySide.QtCore.QLocale.MeasurementSystem.MetricSystem
toString(1.5): u'\u0661,\u0665'

Hope this can be useful for solve the problem! Thank you for help.

Hello folks,

Is there anything else I can try to solve this issue? Any idea will be welcome.

Hi mario52,

I've tried your macro and the numbers are displayed well on the geometry. The problem is just with the numbers appearing on the menus.

[wmayer]

Since also Qt stuff itself is affected it's not a bug in FreeCAD. So, either there are very strange system settings to display numbers or for FreeCAD a strange font can be set. What does this give back?

Code: Select all

from PySide import QtGui
s=QtGui.QDoubleSpinBox()
s.setValue(1.5)
s.show()
f=s.font()
f.family()

[oldsphere]

Hi wmayer,
The Qt window shows the same strange charaters.

The font family returns this:

Code: Select all

f=s.font()
f.family()
u'MS Shell Dlg 2'

hi
and the characters in menus of the macro ?
test Macro_FCInfo_Alternate_Linux the character in the macro mm² mm³ and ° are coded iso8859 just to see the result (select object, Box ... and see)
mario

[oldsphere]

Hi,
Finally some success! The numbers on the menu are correct, excepting for one on the mass section.
What difference has this field respect to the others?

[mario52]

Hi
the mm² are not displayed
the mm ³ are not displayed

the ° are displayed

for the volume is the comma in the spinBox , is the cause

may be your configuration regional or graphic card or encoding .... ?? sorry
