Hi guys

Sorry it doesn't work so well for you - I'm pretty sure the problem is because the degree symbol is hardcoded into the docklet source, which displays fine under English charsets, but presumably fudges up when you view it on a different character set. :( The font used is Arial.

A long term solution might be to find out how to request from the OS the correct symbol to use (API call?). I'm not a windows programmer, so haven't had any luck on this...

In the short term, maybe if someone can find the proper character code or paste the chinese degree symbol into this thread, I could substitute this in. If there's any demand!

Cheers

Rich

i just wanna know where did u get iCal for OD ?

CrazyLiam you can't get "iCal" for OD, you can find in this forum "iCalender" that is not a docklet, is a plug-out. TheRisingSun made it a couple of weeks and an update, it hope to be helpfull.

Hi,richynorth!

Thank you for your docklet, it's gr8! :woot:

I'm from HongKong too!

Well, my lable font is "Lucida Grande" which is from Mac.

It displays fine! (please look at the pic)

But the degree symbol of the docklet is wrong for me too. :cry:

Because the font is "Arial"? :shy:

So, could you change it? Could you use the "Lucida Grande" font for the docklet source? I think it works well for me!

Thank you!

Cherrs :own:
