Let's see some of the features of new Siemens CE 5.3.3 - Build 524
([URL=http://www.gsmforum.gr/members/cgi-bin/dspmobile/tools/SiemensCE_53.rar]link[/URL] )

Main feature is AUTO finding All Font tables for All languages/symbol sets and for ALL (true) Siemens phones!

That means that probably it will be able to function for new fw versions of existing models 
and maybe even for newer models if Siemens keeps the same structure !
(all x65-x70,x60,x55,x50,x45,x35 are auto-detectable except A35/36 and older 
for which the previous 'siemens.ini' mechanism is used or also the even older 'plugin' method)

They are presented in 2 tables.
The Left is the table for all font sizes/styles  &
the Right is the table for all lang./symbol sets for the selected row in Left.

Double-click in a row of Left table updates Right table and Char Map of selected row in Right
(simple-click in a row of Left only updates Right table).

Simple or double-click in Right table updates and displays the Char Map and shows 1st character.

If you keep a selected lang. row in Right you can change the different font sizes/styles in Left 
to access all fonts for that lang. (provided that you select 'C' type -character fonts rows).

Top-level language buttons, allow a fast change of the font language.
Also pre-selected right-edge button columns allow the fats change in font size/style for the same lang.

There are some 'Numbers only' fonts with 'N' type that have at most 3 rows on Right table.

Among the languages - scripts that are used in newer Siemens mobiles are Greek, Cyrillic, Latin based lang. of course,
 Middle East lang. and some Asian languages. 

Also the Unicode value and the 'LangPack messages' encoding for each selected character is displayed.

LangPack codes have a meaning only for certain Character type fonts for certain languages only.
(these codes are in accordance with the 'slged.ini' of "language editor" by Skylord).
Can be used in making some patches...

Unicode values in the range E000 - F8FF, that consist the 'Private Use Area', 
are used from Siemens for a non standard sequence for some Asian languages 
or some set of symbols or little Icon fonts.
The mechanism that 'maps' these character to its 'normal' unicode value is not known to me.
Such an example is the 2 Arabic fonts that normaly should occupy the area 0600-06FF .
Especially the one set mixed with Arabic and Western symbols gives the most unreliable Unicode value...
For all the other cases it is the correct one !

But also the values for Icon - fonts in the area E400-E47F can be used for finding their use in the code area of the fullflash.
Such an example is the 1st "3 dots" icon-font (E400) that is used in s55 or s54i when displaying too large Names 
to fill the screen in AdressBook or Call lists.
Searching E6 ?? 00 E4 would find where in firmware this character it is used !

Some Info on the area where fonts reside inside Fullflash was added 
and also to Save all fonts for a specific language.

As I have seen the program works fine with new SST fullflash files.

Only little testing, with one 2128 fullflash I found, for Far East ( CJK ) models has been done 
but I excpect to work with them without problems.  
But if there are links in Web with such fullflashes please report it to me for further testing!


Many thanks to Vad!m (or V!per) for creating "Siemens CE" in the first place!
