------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-05-08 00:00 ------- Created an attachment (id=579) --> (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/attachment.cgi?id=579&action=view) borked iso-8859-1 text file exported by Gnumeric The spreadsheet originally contains four cells each reading the word "�l�phant". You'll notice in the exported file, French accents and their surrounding letters become completely borked. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: The current Gnumeric package is broken when you want to import text files using iso-8859-1 characters, and these text files contain non-ascii characters. It works when using utf-8 characters. Simple test case (assuming iso-8859-1 or iso-8859-15 is your default locale) - launch Gnumeric - type some text with non-ascii characters in a cell, e.g. "�l�phant" - export the sheet as a text file Book1.csv - close the file - re-import Book1.csv as a text file : it fails (wrong character) Now the same test case but using utf-8 : - launch "LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 Gnumeric" (or LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8, etc.) - type some text with non-ascii characters in a cell, e.g. "�l�phant" - export the sheet as a text file Book1-utf8.csv - close the file - re-import Book1-utf8.csv as a text file : it succeeds This bug was first filed as a generic Gnumeric bug (http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110182), but it seems the mainline version works ok, so I think this bug is Mandrake-related. It only appeared with Mandrake 9.1, it was fine before. Also, I have no locale problems in other programs. Using native Gnumeric files is ok. I am attaching files for the two test cases mentioned above.
