Hello all. The Windows CHM files are built weekly and all output from the various processes are logged accordingly. When building the fa and ro translations, there are some issues with the code that generates the table of contents for the CHM file. In essence the UTF-8 text being incorporated into the TOC has to be translated to a particular codepage (Windows-1254 for fa and Windows-1250 for ro). Unfortunately, these codepages don't contain all the symbols required for the original text and a log entry is created saying ... "[08:45:59 - E_NOTICE ] C:\pear\phd-trunk\phpdotnet\phd\Package\PHP\CHM.php:263 iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string". This is as expected based upon http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php (out_charset parameter) ... "The output charset. If you append the string //TRANSLIT to out_charset transliteration is activated. This means that when a character can't be represented in the target charset, it can be approximated through one or several similarly looking characters. If you append the string //IGNORE, characters that cannot be represented in the target charset are silently discarded. Otherwise, str is cut from the first illegal character and an E_NOTICE is generated." I think the codepage for fa is wrong (based upon http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb896001.aspx) and that it should be Windows-1256 - it made no difference to the output in terms of notices. Is there a more appropriate codepage to be used? (I don't think so) Should we be using //TRANSLIT//IGNORE? (I don't think so but may have to), Or, for these 2 languages, should we use the English data (purely for the CHM TOC, Search and index tabs). If you have a native language CHM file for any purpose where the TOC correctly shows your native language, then I could see how this has been put together and make appropriate corrections (if possible). As things stand though, it looks like the Windows CHM viewer has certain limitations to the codepages it will support as part of the TOC, search and index.
