APPX 6.0.0 Features

This page provides an overview of the new features in APPX 6.0.

Line: 56 to 56
 In order to display or print Unicode data, the field must have a GUI Attribute of either a LABEL (non modifiable field on an Input or normal field on an Output) or RAW TEXT. The default font for a LABEL is Arial, which may be noticeable if the other fields on the image are not. You can override the default font to COURIER to use the same font as fields without a GUI attribute.

You also need to consider how this field is used. If it is moved to a non Unicode field (via SET or RECEIVE) that will cause a runtime error to occur if the source field contains Unicode characters that cannot be transcoded. To prevent this, all target fields must also be Unicode and any fields they are moved to, and so on.

>		 APPX ships with the DejaVu fonts for PDF printing. You can install a different set of fonts if required, and then use the following environment variable to override the defaults:

APPX_PDF_FONT_PATH=<location of font files, default $APPXPATH/fonts/>

APPX_PDF_FONT_MONO=DejaVuSansMono
APPX_PDF_FONT_MONO_BOLD=DejaVuSansMono-Bold
APPX_PDF_FONT_MONO_ITALIC=DejaVuSansMono-Oblique
APPX_PDF_FONT_MONO_BOLD_ITALIC=DejaVuSansMono-BoldOblique
APPX_PDF_FONT_SANS=DejaVuSans
APPX_PDF_FONT_SANS_BOLD=DejaVuSans-Bold
APPX_PDF_FONT_SANS_ITALIC=DejaVuSans-Oblique
APPX_PDF_FONT_SANS_BOLD_ITALIC=DejaVuSans-BoldOblique
APPX_PDF_FONT_SERIF=DejaVuSerif
APPX_PDF_FONT_SERIF_BOLD=DejaVuSerif-Bold
APPX_PDF_FONT_SERIF_ITALIC=DejaVuSerif-Italic
APPX_PDF_FONT_SERIF_BOLD_ITALIC=DejaVuSerif-BoldItalic

 

Desktop Client Uses external Text Viewer

The Desktop Client now uses an external program for viewing text report. Previously these would be displayed in the client itself. The text viewer to use is specified in the client settings:

>		 If no viewer is specified, it will be opened using the desktop default for .doc files.
 

New & Revised APIs

All the .TEXT APIs have been reworked to accept Unicode strings up to 1M in length. The .TEXT LOWER TO UPPER and .TEXT UPPER TO LOWER use the Unicode library to convert text. If you have applications that add or subtract 32 from the ASCII value to convert case, be aware that this technique will not work with Unicode data (unless the Unicode field only contains US ASCII characters).

Line: 202 to 210
 
  • Language Translation does not work
We expect to deal with these issues in the next patch release.
