Improper display (interface language)

[WuTianming]

The English translation is not complete and a large part of the menu is still in French.

The biggest problem is, some French letters can't be displayed properly so I have trouble even guessing what the menu means.

My OS (Windows 10) environment language is set to Chinese(simplified) and I suspect that the improper display has something to do with my locale.

I would say that the problem can be solved by either

1. Completing the English translation
2. Checking what is wrong with the text display

the former of which is (imo) simpler.

I downloaded my copy of I-Simpa from https://github.com/ifsttar/i-simpa/releases/tag/v1.2.3 , binary exe file.

I'm realizing that v1.2.3 is actually a quite old version. Is there a way to get a newer version? (However it's not possible for me to compile the code recently.)

I also have problem with sppsNantes.exe which refused to read the resultant xml file.

the xml file has a head saying encoding="iso-8859-1", does this have something to do with my encoding too?

Hi,

You can download a more recent version of I-Simpa here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nicolas-f/I-Simpa/build/artifacts

However we still have 3D display issues with Windows 10.

[WuTianming]

Thank you for your quick response.

Unfortunately I have a 32bit windows system which doesn't seem to support all those win64 programs. Does I-Simpa support Linux? I will try under Linux another day.

regards,

I have built a 32 bits version of I-Simpa a while ago:

Sorry but there is no linux version available for the moment

[WuTianming]

Thank you.

The newer version seemed better in that the menu texts are all displayed properly. However as you have said, the 3D display shows a black background and the surfaces are not displayed.

185 describes the problem. I will try some workarounds in the meantime...

Anyway, is there a way for me to get a fully functional version of the software? Or is I-Simpa still in active development so that I have to wait for future releases? Update: Got it to work by enabling windows 7 compatibility mode

However I have already solved my original problem (texts are displayed fine in v1.3.4) so I will close this
