[Tex/LaTex] Winedt 7, Doesn’t show greek correctly

winedt

I have this problem. I use WinEdt 6 to write latex documents and the main language is greek. Up to now i had no problem and i could, when fisrt installing a new version of WinEdt, find a way of having it "read" greek characters properly. Now i'm trying WinEdt 7 and all greek part of the text shows wrong. I tried looking at the relative options but nothing seems to work.
I believe the problem is related to the fact that WinEdt 7 has changed the way it supports unicode from version 6. Any tips?

Thank you in advance

Problem solved and this because of the suggestion to click on tex in the status line. Even though I use WinEdt for a long time i was not aware of this option, so thanks once more!! By clicking on tex in the status line of WinEdt 7 Document Settings window pops-up. In WinEdt 7 there is a new tab that appears called CP Converter. There I had Document Format: ANSI and the new thing was that i played with: Custom ANSI Code Page, which i set to: 1253 Windows 3.1 Greek. Then i pressed apply and then reload and it worked and greek showed properly!!

Thank you all!!

Well the answer you linked too already said it: Winedt 6 can handle utf8. But only if you need only chars from one codepage (e.g. if you are only using the chars from ansinew). When opening an utf8-file winedt 6 translates the chars to (e.g.) the ansinew codepage and all chars outside this codepage are shown as ??. It you change such a file and save it with winedt 6 all chars outside ansinew are lost. This means you can use at most 256 different chars and you can't write with winedt 6 a document with english and greek or english and cyrillic or a CJK-document. Winedt 7 now can handle all the thousands unicode chars.

[Tex/LaTex] How to configure WinEdt/MikTeX/ps2pdf to use a new version of Ghostscript when converting ps->pdf

The ps2pdf.exe in miktex/bin first sets an environment variable so that it points to mgs.exe and then calls the ps2pdf.bat in miktex/scripts/ghostscript/bat.

You can avoid the call to mgs.exe by using the .bat directly. On my machine this here tries to use gswin32c.exe (default) or whatever an environment variable GSC points to:

 D:\MiKTeX2.9\scripts\ghostscript\bat\ps2pdf.bat test-utf8

In winedt you can make the change from ps2pdf.exe to path/to/ps2pdf.bat in the execution modes.
