Unicode support of FrameMaker 8

[Klaus Mueller]

Hi all,

I would never recommend using special chars in FM
file or format names, but found the following issue
with FrameMaker 8.0p266 (that worked in FM7):

Clicking on the following hypertext marker results in
an error: "message system explorer C:/Program Files/Adobé"
(although the folder exists, of course).
If the folder does only contain ASCII chars, no error
occurs.
Shouldn't FrameMaker convert the internal UTF-8 string
to ANSI with "message system" commands?

Also, the QuickKey command does no more work with
formats containing non-ASCII chars:
"F9, B" does preselect "Body", "F9, Ü" does insert
an Udieresis into the document.
Note that the localized version of FrameMaker also uses
default format names containing special chars, e.g.
"Überschrift 1" in the German FrameMaker.
If they won't consider any UTF-8/ANSI/Keyboard layout
conversion, the char shouldn't at least be inserted
into the document, imo ...

Kind regards,
Klaus
