Tkinter cannot display Unicode characters correctly in Manjaro
python and Tkinter are processing Unicode characters correctly.
But they are not able to display Unicode encoded characters correctly.
I am using Python 3.1 and Tkinter in Ubuntu. I am trying to use Tamil Unicode characters.
All the processing is done correctly. But the display is wrong?
Here is the Wrong display as in Tkinter
开发者_运维百科Here is the Correct display (as in gedit)
Still not solved:
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.geometry('200x200')
var = StringVar()
label = Label( root, textvariable=var, relief=RAISED )
Entry(text="Placeholder text").pack()
var.set("கற்றதனால் ஆய பயனென்கொல் வாலறிவன்\nநற்றாள்தொழாஅர் எனின். ")
label.pack()
root.mainloop()
Manjaro:
Windows:
I had faced similar problems and discovered I used the Zero Width Joiner (U+200D) to explicitly tell the rendering engine to join two characters. That used to work in 2010 but looks like there have been changes in the rendering engine (that I am now aware of) and now in 2011 I find that having the joiner creates the problem ! (It broke my working code) I had to remove the explicit zero width joiners to have my code work again. Hope this helps.
As per this comment,
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication,QMainWindow,QLabel
import sys
app=QApplication(sys.argv)
app.setStyle('Fusion')
app.setApplicationName('PyQt5 App')
win=QMainWindow()
label=QLabel()
text='கற்றதனால் ஆய பயனென்கொல் வாலறிவன்\nநற்றாள் தொழாஅர் எனின்.'
label.setText(text)
win.setCentralWidget(label)
win.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
It looks like Tk is mishandling things like 'Class Zero Combining Marks', see: http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.0.0/ch04.pdf#G124820 (Table 4-4)
I assume one of the sequences that do not show correctly are the codepoints: 0BA9 0BC6 (TAMIL SYLLABLE NNNE), where 0BC6 is a reordrant class zero combining mark according to the Unicode standard, which basically means the glyphs get swapped.
The only way to fix it is to file a bug at the Tk bug tracker and hope it gets fixed.
