Hi listmates,
My applications show only the basic latin characterset. The characters of other sets such as Latin-1 supplement don't show up. so I get instead of "een" "één" How and where can I correct this behaviour ? thanks, Hans
Hi Hans
what kind of applications do you use and where is there output displayed?
I am talking about apps like thunderbird or akregator nothing special.
Okay, how about showing us a screensot? It sounds like you're talking about emails - é is an HTML character entity reference, so somehow you're seeing HTML source.
I did my homework now and studied something about charactersets. My locale is set to "en_GB.UTF-8". My idea was, when my charset is utf8 al characters of different languages are available. I should then be possible to read content in different languages correctly. But it wasn't. In the case of an email or webpage I forgot that if the sender uses a different charset for instance iso8859-15 and I use utf8 some characters are wrong. If I switch to the same charset as the sender it should be possible to read it correct. But always switching charsets is not what want. In thunderbird I even don't know how to switch a charset. Then its difficult to read an email in german or french. Maybe it is a good option to change my locale to en_GB.iso8859-15 ??? Did I do my homework correct or made I some mistakes?
