[Gretl-devel] freq alignment problems with UTF-8

Dear all, I just pushed a one-liner to git to fix an alignment problem with the "freq" command in case there are UTF-8 characters in a stringified series. For example, the script <hansl> nulldata 20 set seed 555 series y = ceil(uniform(0,4)) l = defarray("ca", "cà", "üß", "mò") stringify(y, l) freq y </hansl> now gives correct alignment. We have a similar problem with xtab, but I believe that in order to fix that I'd have to intervene on gretl_utf8_truncate() (from strutils.c) and the implications are not very clear to me, so I'd rather wait for instructions from Allin. ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------
