* Heredis X.2 10.2.6 – PowerPC only (Note: There is a new Heredis for Mac in development, to take full advantage of Mac OS X Lion, and that might support Unicode).

* Osk 4.7.1 seems to have support – you can select it in the dialogue, but it was having a problem with loading in general. Unfortunately MyBlood was last updated in August of 2010. MyBlood may even have the largest list of supported character sets. If you click on the image to the right, it will take you to a larger version hosted at flickr that will show you just how many character sets MyBlood is supposed to support. Whether this has to do with it being in demo mode or not, I’m not sure. 3.1 clearly has support for many character sets including UTF, but it would not advance past the open dialogue. * PAW2U version 100 (see further in the article for an explanation) Unicode Not Fully Supported, UTF-8 Supported This maybe due in part to Gramps and GenealogyJ being developed on or for Unix-like systems such as Linux and Mac OS X. Gramps didn’t put up any notices about problems – either it was robust enough to handle them, or it wasn’t and was ignoring them. GenealogyJ was able to handle some odd things, while ignoring others. Notes: Gramps and MacFamilyTree seemed to handle the odd stuff better than the other applications.
Macfamilytree support software#
If you find yourself needing to convert Unicode GEDOM files to another format, see the Conversion of Unicode GEDCOM Files on a Mac article.īelow the brief listings of Mac genealogy software and their results, I’ll explain in-depth, the support for Unicode GEDCOMs. The issue came up with somebody migrating from an older version of MacFamilyTree to a newer Mac genealogy application.įor more on the underlying issue, see the Unicode, UTF-8, GEDCOM 5.5.1, GEDCOMs, and Macs article. Several of the genealogy applications listed below have been updated or have major/new releases available, and this information will be updated (Feb 2015), however if an application is listed as supporting Unicode, etc., newer versions should continue supporting such features.įor a brief background of how this article came to be, see the Mac Genealogy Software and GEDCOMs post.
