Newb needs help

[rtyui333]

I decided to make a wps of my own.
Really really easy one

so I found ezwps and made one (similar to rockbox default  
But somehow I see strange letters below status bar
(goes like this: (\rtf\ansicpg1252\deff0{\fonttbl{\}})

everything is fine except this, can anyone help me please?


and another.. where can I get rockbox default wps?? when I open one in rockbox/wps says it's a dummy. I would like to copy some of it

sorry for my bad english..

You can't get the default wps because it's hardcoded (at least I can't help you on that - don't know exactly where in the source)

It's not though hard to make a simple wps like rockbox default.

Here's what you need to know about wps code:

Thanks I found default wps there...

But the real problem is that I see "(\rtf\ansicpg1252\deff0{\fonttbl{\}})" below the status bar. I can't use my wps unless i get rid of this. Does anyone know how to fix this?

PLEASE HELP

There's no need to use caps or bigger font to ask for help. It will be more helpful if you paste the code of your wps here to see what's the problem.

I'm guessing the problem is using EZ-WPS, it has probably inserted some junk in the first line of your wps file

I actually found EZ-WPS more confusing and about twice as slow for creating WPS's than using good 'ol Notepad

Exactly

I suspect that, too or maybe you try to show a unicode character?

Quote from the wiki:

"To make sure non english characters display correctly in your WPS you must save the .wps file with UTF-8 character encoding. This can be done in most editors, for example Notepad in Windows 2000 or XP (but not in 9x/ME) can do this."

right, sorry for that..


however I fixed it!!

When I save my code with EZWPS, it automatically writes something at the front, so when I open them with notepad it goes like this

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Lucida Console;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang1042\f0\fs17 %al%ac%it
\par %al%ac%ia
\par %al%ac%id %iy
\par %al
\par %al%pc/%pt %ar[%pp:%pe]
\par %al%fbKbps/%ffHz
\par %pb
\par %pm
\par %al
\par %al
\par %al%ac%It
\par %al%ac%Ia
\par %al
\par %al
\par }
 
I think this happens to people who uses ANSI when saving txt
If I open wps with notepad, delete all unnecessary stuff and then save them as UTF-8, voila, no more strange letters  

I think there should be some notices for EZWPS users to save their wps as UTF


thanks everyone!!

Nice that you found the problem.

I must agree with bascule though. Nothing's better than a simple text editor. I use Notepad2 and I never had such problems.

I should have checked your reply.. I had to figure this out myself!!
