Re^5: Upside Down Text Revised

Text::UpsideDown is dead simple in this respect, it just replaces each ASCII character (except for symmetrical ones like H or I) with a corresponding Unicode character that looks like its upside-down version and returns you that string. The question marks are from your terminal. Maybe your font doesn't have the necessary characters? I don't remember how one changes the font in a Windows XP console but it should be possible to set something like Courier New that has good support for the more exotic ISO-10646 characters.

should I be editing files in Notepad instead of wordpad? Um, that could help, maybe -- wordpad can edit "text" files, but if you save as rtf that won't work -- most programmers don't use wordpad Did you add Win32::Console::OutputCP( 65001 );?? Did you check the bytes your program generates? How does it look in notepad.txt? yourprog.pl > thembytes.txt notepad thembytes.txt	[reply]
