It turns out that these issues could be fixed without great difficulty --
see git and the current snapshots. We now intercept and modify "%s" string
conversion specifiers for printf and sprintf so that numerical values
indicating width and "precision" are taken to be in UTF-8 characters rather
than bytes.
Since email is liable to mangle this sort of thing, I'm attaching a little
PDF file which illustrates "before" and "after".
It worked just fine! Thanks!
As for extra line-breaks appearing in some contexts on Windows, this
is to
do with the Windows-specific business of opening files in text versus binary
mode; I think it should be fixed now too.
Dear Allin, unfortunately it didn't worked as I think it is expected.
Now we have problems trying to visualize text output created by the
"output" command using Notepad (the standard text editor on Windows).
Please take a look at the attached images.
IMHO if the solution is too difficult to implement I think the old
behavior is better because I believe the situation where the user
saves a text file to open with Notepad is a more common task than
re-open it in Gretl for further analysis.
Um abraço,
Henrique Andrade
