Hi

What is the ‘writeTechnologyEngine’ option?

@PiotrMP006 ,

What is the ‘writeTechnologyEngine’ option?

That attribute in config.xml is mapped to Settings > Preferences > MISC > ☐ Use DirectWrite – it affects how Notepad++ asks Windows what to do when a given font doesn’t have a glyph for a particular character, and some other behind-the-scenes, Windows-controlled stuff. If the attribute value in the XML is 1, then the settings checkbox is checkmarked ☑; if the attribute value in the XML is 0, then the settings checkbox is not checkmarked ☐.

I assume this is a follow-on to your other recent question. I am not sure why you didn’t just reply to your other post with “oh, I see the writeTechnologyEngine option in config.xml: will that help me change the appearance of emoji?” – that would have made it more obvious to readers that the two questions were actually related.
