Problem with CP932 + charset Shift-JIS (Windows)

[Bengt V]

Windows only! (probably)

When opening a file encoded with CP932 in Scintilla, and choosing
codepage=932
and charset=Shift-JIS, japanese characters are drawn just like
the garbage you get when using default codepage and charset.
However, when DirectX drawing is enabled,
SCI_SETTECHNOLOGY( SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITE ),
the japanese characters are drawn correctly.
UTF-8 works fine.
Have I missed something???

(Windows7 + Scintilla 3.0.2 + western locale ( =not japanese) )

All help is welcome!

Update:
I can't seem to be able to reproduce this behavior using the
Scintilla example app "DMApp"...

So, all of a sudden help & hints became even more appreciated. ;)

Thanks in advance,

PS The main application is built as an "MBCS"-application (and not a
"UNICODE"-application ). That might be relevant...

There is a problem with Google Groups where moderators no longer get
emails about pending messages so there will be delays in moderating
messages.

Start copying calls from DMApp into your code until it works.

[PROBLEM SOLVED]
I think I've solved my problem. :)

Thanks Neil, but fortunately I'm blessed with a good debugger... ;)
By the way... How long are new group members considered "new"?

I got the first clue when stepping into the FontCached constructor,
and
saw that characterSet was 1 (instead of 128) for STYLE_DEFAULT.
Since I only changed charset for 0-31 (which includes the c-comment
style,
and the japanese text was in a comment) this was left unchanged.

After setting a font, only for STYLE_DEFAULT, I never called
SCI_STYLECLEARALL. (Ooops) ;)
So the default font's charset contaminated the actual text drawing.

Sorry I wasn't able to locate this problem before posting.
