Description YeHaa 2003-12-22 21:53:48 UTC 
Version:           0.7.4 (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.0-gentoo

As I'm German I have several friends with german "umlauts" in their names. For example the letters described in HTML as ö, ä and ü. Unfortunately Kopete interpretes these Letters totaly wrong. Instead of "ö" in Kopete I see "ö". I can rename this contact in Kopete to show the korrekt letter. But then my contacts don't show up correctly in other clients (ICQ-Lite, SIM).

The interesting thing is that your ö shows correctly in Bugzilla and in the e-mail. So, if I didn't know what you were talking about, I'd say you are nuts :-)

Problem: the ICQ server doesn't tell what the encoding is. So Kopete guesses, and guesses wrong.
Comment 2 Thiago Macieira 2003-12-22 22:02:52 UTC 
By the way, I get this too.
Comment 3 YeHaa 2003-12-22 23:46:08 UTC 
Re comment #1

Well, ok, I could have written "ö", but as I don't know what bugzilla does with that letter, and which language the reading programmer has configured on his computer... The Result might have been the same as in Kopete. ;>

But thanks for confirming. :)

I again see the proper letter. Apparently it's a problem with form-posting in Bugzilla: you post in Latin1, but the page is seen in UTF-8. Anyways, don't mind because we know what you meant.

Isn't this a duplicate of http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67727 ?

yes, it's a duplicate. This all focuses about setting the right encoding for contacts and server strings.
