Subject: Very Minor text display BUG in Windows installer
(im working on Win2000 but i think this happened to me on win98 too)
ive just downloaded another nightly build (Abiword Personal) and the
text in the installer does not seem to have the "correctly" weird line
breaks required by windows or maybe its the tab character (the text does
not wrap to the window and you have to scroll sideways to read it).
Lots of symbols that look like "|" though.
also the Copyright.txt file included with the binary does not display
correctly in Notepad.
(you could just rename it to *.wri and it will open up in wordpad which
can correctly display it)
Notepad has an odd way of dealing with line breaks*
I think this problem goes back a few different builds so aplogies if its
already been reported (i did a cursory search through bugzilla) amd if
it has not been reported i wish i'd reported it sooner.
* to get a Notepad compatible line break in Java i did this:
// print '\n'
fWriter1.write(13);
fWriter1.write(10);
which if i recall writes the 2 specific raw ascii values Notepad
understands as a line break. Hope that helps.
