My colleague just told me that after removing chinese characters from
the PDF, it could be encoded properly by Mabry.

Need confirmation! I didn't expect Mabry would encode a PDF differently
based on fonts....

Wei Wei Oh Let of Toy .
It's not based on fonts, its based on character set at the OS level.
you should be able to change up the encoded scheme in Mabry -
it may or may not be another property to choose and set (properly).
For example -
your post here is not 'normal', right?
Subject: Mabry Mail Control and PDF with Chinese fonts
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=Big5
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

See what charsets and encoding types Mabry CAN handle, and make it match
what yer doing with the PDF file.
This is VFP 6, right?

Good Luck!

Because I am handling chinese newsgroup messages most of the time. And
Thunderbird is smart enough to choose the best encoding for me
automagically.

Yes, we have a VFP app using this Mabry control, possibly a very old
version. And the manufacturer is game over now.

I notice you really didn't answer my question.

Here it is again, just in case I failed to be clear:

What encoding types are available to you in the Mabry Control ?

My company didn't download documentation while Mabry was still around..
How could I know?

And that's why there is a message from me requesting documentation. Look
at some of my older messages with "mabry" in the subject.

1. make something in the command window in vfp9 - you should get some
intellisense back, troll through that.

2. Surely you google'd around for 'mabry vfp encoding', ya ?
This looks promising -

3. Did your company think (yet) to engage with a developer who knows this
stuff ?

Sorry could not be of more assistance.
