      make sure that the font you use is capable of displaying needed symbols

      Cheers

        @Claudia-Frank Thanks Claudia! – that fixed it, the moment I checked “enable global font”.

        Thanks! (It’s been bugging me…for a long time…)

          Here is one of possible ways to get the text from an unsaved file tab in NppExec to allow further processing of the text:

          // temporary file name
          set local tmpfile = $(SYS.TEMP)\text.txt
          // current selection
          sci_sendmsg SCI_GETSELECTIONSTART
          set local selStart = $(MSG_RESULT)
          sci_sendmsg SCI_GETSELECTIONEND
          set local selEnd = $(MSG_RESULT)
          // select all the text and save it
          sci_sendmsg SCI_SELECTALL
          sel_saveto "$(tmpfile)"
          // restore the selection
          sci_sendmsg SCI_SETSELECTIONSTART $(selStart)
          sci_sendmsg SCI_SETSELECTIONEND $(selEnd)
          // now it's time to process the tmpfile...

            Here is more “advanced” version that avoids visible selection change:

            // temporary file name
            set local tmpfile = $(SYS.TEMP)\text.txt
            // disable redrawing
            sci_sendmsg 0x000B 0 // WM_SETREDRAW FALSE
            // current selection
            sci_sendmsg SCI_GETSELECTIONSTART
            set local selStart = $(MSG_RESULT)
            sci_sendmsg SCI_GETSELECTIONEND
            set local selEnd = $(MSG_RESULT)
            // select all the text and save it
            sci_sendmsg SCI_SELECTALL
            sel_saveto "$(tmpfile)"
            // restore the selection
            sci_sendmsg SCI_SETSELECTIONSTART $(selStart)
            sci_sendmsg SCI_SETSELECTIONEND $(selEnd)
            // enable redrawing
            sci_sendmsg 0x000B 1 // WM_SETREDRAW TRUE
            // now it's time to process the tmpfile...

              NppExec v0.6 beta 1 will introduce new command TEXT_SAVETO and TEXT_LOADFROM that will work with the whole current text. Apart from that, these commands will be similar to SEL_SAVETO and SEL_LOADFROM.

                Hello, @bill-winder, and All,

                I’m quite late, but I had have to update my list of fonts and to do some tests, in Notepad++, first ;-))

                So, Bill, here is below, a list of Unicode fonts which can, correctly, display your text example :

                la diskysjˈɔ̃ fˈy syspɑ̃dˈy pɑ̃dˈɑ̃ lə ʁˈɔbʁ
                mɛ bjɛ̃tˈoˈandʁuː styˈaʁ la ʁəpʁənˈɛ

                • The first table concerns Monospaced fonts, where all characters have the same width

                • The second table concerns Proportional fonts, with variable width


                Notes :

                • The Unicode number of code-points, handled by the font, is located in the Glyphs column

                • The different fonts are sorted out by increasing number of their glyphs

                • The default regular weight, only, of each font, is listed. The other weights ( Bold, Italic… ) are absent of the tables, below

                • The Lucida Sans Unicode is certainly already installed on your configuation ( v5.00 or higher )

                • The Segoe UI family font is probably installed, too ( v5.28 or higher )

                • For the Ioveska and Ioveska Slab fonts, read very carefully the README.md part, scrolling downwards, because these fonts are highly configurable ! Refer to :

                https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka

                • You may also consult this valuable article, Large, multi-script Unicode fonts for Windows computers, at :

                  @Vitaliy-Dovgan Thanks! Good work around. There must be somewhere direct access to an unsaved tab, because I can close npp with an unsaved tab and when I reopen, it is there. So the unsaved tab is actually saved somewhere. Curious!

                    Yes, saved under a “Backup” folder by default. I just made 5 “new files” and they were created in this folder with the following names:

                    new 1@2018-02-19_155611
                    new 2@2018-02-19_155613
                    new 3@2018-02-19_155613
                    new 4@2018-02-19_155615
                    new 5@2018-02-19_155618

                      @guy038 Very cool! I just chose fonts at random until things looked right. Useful description, which will serve elsewhere also – same issue in Jedit. (Though I use Jedit less and less - npp has everything I need and is very fast.)

                        @Scott-Sumner and they are numbered! Perfect. Which essentially solves my problem.

                        I hope! There is one further step. I will have to capture the name of the active tab and give it to NPPEXec.

                        But that should be possible through the sci_sendmessage function (will look into that), since this is possible:

                        sci_sendmsg SCI_GETSELECTIONSTART
                        set local selStart = $(MSG_RESULT)
