Hi,

Unicode Image Maker is a useful tool. Although there are a few features that would be good to add:

* full unicode input support would be appreciated. Currently seems to work well for langauges ofifcially supported by Microsoft, but lacks support for unicode import form other keyboard layouts. I can cut and paster text inot the app, but I can't type directly into the app.

* the ability to change the colour of individual unicode characters without breaking the shaping, i.e. Arabic characters, or combining diacritics.

mouser:
can you talk a little about the second item - what does it do now and what should it do?

by the way the component used in unicode image maker is called trichview:
http://www.trichview.com/support/

so if you can find a solution or help or guidance from them i can add it to unicode image maker.

ps.
almost no one has ever commented or contacted me about this app so i assume its not very much used or needed so i don't spend much time trying to improve it.

All I have to say is large expectations=large disapointment. It only changes the text you see into an image. Microsoft Paint does it better. I was looking to put whole books into jpeg or gif to put on my PSP and read on the go. Unicode Text-To-Image seemed perfect. Until the discovery above. If you want to chage a sentence into text, this is for you.

mouser:
Updated to fix Vista/Win7 problem.  Thanks to user Matthias for alerting me to the problem and helping me test.

v1.08.01 - 6/15/09
