Qt6 Application Testing
Rich Walsh:
With Paul's updates and Dave latest build of QT6, a site like https://ru.ecomstation.ru should look like attached screen shot.
Dooble switches itself to CP-1208 (UTF-8) so it's titlebar can display any characters WarpSans supports (Latin-1, Latin-2, PC Extended, Baltic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Greek and Arabic). Changing the titlebar font to one of the WT-J fonts adds Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
The Window List (and everything else) continues to use CP-850, so the range of text it can display is limited. Any character not in CP-850 is replaced with a "mid dot" which is easier on the eye than a question mark.
FYI... Only the PM codepage gets changed; the Process codepage (used for filenames, etc.) remains the same (usually CP-850). When Dave releases his next build of Dooble, you'll be able to *turn off* codepage switching using "SET QT_PM_CP=0".
Paul Smedley:
It would also be interesting if someone could test:
--- Code: ---SET QT_PM_CP=1208
--- End code ---
With as many Qt6 apps as possible (other than the examples, there aren't that many) so we can determine if this can be made the default, or if it breaks things.
Thanks AGAIN to Rich for the patches!
David McKenna:
Thanks Paul and Rich! I went to the Netlabs website where a bunch of QT6 apps are listed, but every one I tried would lock my computer solid, even without SET QT_PM_CP-1208. I'm guessing they were compiled with an older version of QT6, from before Paul changed the DLL names. So does anyone know of working QT6 apps compiled with the most recent QT6 (besides Dooble)? I'm happy to test...

I guess you mean these ones:
https://rpm.netlabs.org/test/QT6/
Those had been compiled by Tellie, maybe we can ask him to recompile those (little by little) with the last Qt6.
