When I export into Lexique Pro using LIFT everything works fine except one letter that should be blank (ň) has a hyperlink to a blank page, and one that should be filled (n), doesn't have a hyperlink. The words are there in the column to the left with all words, but I can't jump to N. Likewise when I create an html dictionary the N button doesn' t work. Is ň messing up n I wonder?

Before you ask, I've used Toolbox sort order for the alphabetical sorting and the n and ň are both there, in the correct order (n before ň).

That's a very good question, David!

I suspect you may need to ask Richard Margetts, the developer of Lexique Pro, and Martin Hoskens, the developer of LIFT.  Martin invented the standard, and Richard's program interprets it. Sorry I can't give you a better answer, but I'd go to those two for answers.

Cheers, Ken

David,

Funnily enough I noticed the same problem today. I've got g and ğ. The g
has a link and shows all the words starting with both g and ğ; the ğ
doesn't have a hyperlink. It seems LP is getting confused with the
diacritics somehow.

I added an entry beginning with ñ to my (MDF) database and added ñ to
the <alphabet display="true">a b c...etc.</alphabet> section of the
config file. It now displays an ñ link, and it is correctly picking out
the ñ entries only. So, the n/ñ is working for me, but not the g/ğ...

Sorry, I can't figure out any more than that.

Craig.

I don't really know for sure, but this sounds to me like it might be
related to NFC (precomposed where possible) vs. NFD (decomposed:
diacritics as separate characters), two distinct ways of storing the
"same" unicode data. NFD is the most flexible/consistent, but NFC is
more compatible with the past. In this case (as with the ñ), since a
precomposed character does exist for your combination, NFD and NFC differ:

NFC: LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH BREVE
NFD: LATIN SMALL LETTER G , COMBINING BREVE

For a quick and dirty check, you could try opening your exported file in
BabelPad and running Convert / Normalization Form / NFC, to see if
Lexique then automatically detects those as single characters. But
ultimately, the correct thing to do would be to configure Lexique Pro to
recognize certain sequences as single characters, just like you would
with a multigraph such as the English "th". You might try seeing if
there's any help in Lexique about digraphs.

My guess is that you have not set up something correctly in Lexique Pro. Either something under Tools / Configure / Languages / Language Properties / Lexicon Language / Configure / Sorting, etc. Or something under Tools / Configure / Display / Home Page / Home Page Alphabet Links. Or maybe both.

According to my own experience, LexiquePro has some problems with diacritics and special symbols. Check if you have the latest version of the software and if not make an update. If it doesn't help, send a bug report to the developer. Usually, he will not answer but maybe that will help him improve the program. You may also check, as already suggested, the language settings in LexiquePro.
