Description Panayotis Vryonis 2001-12-09 13:24:00 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kpilot
Version:           KDE 2.2.0 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

If you want to use a Palm to store adresses and events in Greek you usually use an extra package called "Greek Win". As far as I know this is actually a Greek grafity "driver" that comes with iso-8895-7 (actually win-1253 grrrr) fonts that replace the original ones.

When I sync my pilot with kpilot kpilot tries to convert my greek entries to unicode resulting in entries that look like "?????????" (qmarks).

Also althought I can write in greek in korganizer these entries are not transfered to the Pilot.

I think the solution would be a generic KPilot option like "Palm Character Set" that would enable the translation between iso-8869-x and unicode.

Hi. It's been _ages_ since you filed this bug, and I've finally gotten around 
to fixing it. 

Can you look at bug 52138 and 41283? Basically, I think I've fixed it, but I 
need a database and  a screenshot to test with. Then I can easily add the 
encoding for your Pilot to the KPilot settings.
