I'm using an iPhone app, Emu48 a.k.a. HP50g (by TheWinterStorm). I can copy files from the emulator to my Mac laptop via the built-in WLAN support, but many characters display wrong glyphs. Is there a Mac font that will display these (preferably a TTFfont)? I believe I used to have one, but that was several computers ago and I can't find it.

started trying to get this to work so I may make more progress after more thought. Worst case I can run the character string through a character remapping program in MATLAB.These maybe?

Thanks! That's a start, at least. Many of the special characters now show up correctly. Some don't yet, e.g., the right arrow (character 141) is just a box. On my Mac I have to use (using BBEdit) the "Western (Windows Latin 1)" encoding. I've just

Try using UTF-8 encoding instead.
Try using UTF-8 encoding instead.
I actually tried a bunch of encodings, including that one (which
gives the message "The UTF-8 file “tidstr.txt” is damaged or
incorrectly formed; please proceed with caution."). Here tidstr.txt
is the result of using ->STR on a directory and then using the
emulator's WLAN support to transfer it. I tried the following
encodings (which were all that were available and not obviously
useless such as Chinese): Western (ISO Latin 1) Western (ISO Latin
9) Western (Mac OS Roman) Western (Windows Latin 1) I suspect that I
need to actually do some kind of conversion similar to what is done
by the Kermit or other serial servers, but do it all internal to the emulator, not while transmitting over a serial connection. Are you
aware of any function to do this?
The actual translation routine used by Kermit is not made available as a userRPL command but can be accessed via a SYSEVAL. Unfortunately I can
only find programs for the 48 & 49. You'll need to find a table of
SYSEVAL mappings and see what the equivalent on the 50G is in order to
make use of these. (This is left as an exercise for the reader.) :-)
TRAN (to TRANSIO trigraphs)<< ->STR 3. TRANSIO #2F34Eh SYSEVAL >>

Here are two 50g programs that might do what you're looking for:
TRAN (to TRANSIO trigraphs)<< ->STR 3. TRANSIO #2F34Eh SYSEVAL >>
BYTES: 33.0 #F87Dh
TRAN-> (from TRANSIO trigraphs)
<< ->STR 3. TRANSIO #2F34Dh SYSEVAL DROP OBJ-> >>
BYTES: 38.0 #2558h
To use, put any object on the stack and execute ->TRAN. Its trigraph representation is returned as a string. Execute TRAN-> on that string to return it to the original object.
