Package: pspp Version: 0.7.9+git20120319-1 Severity: important Tags: l10n Dear Maintainer,
The Portuguese language has a lot of diacritical marks and it is almost impossible to deal with data from, say, a list of cities from any Brazilian geographic area without stumbling on an "á" or a "ç". All official (from governmental agencies) data uses those signs an it is a very good thing they do so! The problem is that PSPP software can't import those correctly replacing any char with diacritical marks on it with "?" (question marks). PSPP behaves differently if the source data is UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1: with the latter, PSPP import preview panel is unable to show the correct chars from the very beginning (it shows a rectangle with the diagonal lines just like an X inside a box); with the former, the import preview panel shows the correct chars!! but when I click to actually perform the import it replaces the correct chars with "?". I tagged this bug as Important because it makes it very hard to Brazilian users to use this excellent tool. thanks, Gunther Furtado -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable'), (600, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/3 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pspp depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.3 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-10 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-32+aptbuild1 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-5 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.3-1 ii libgsl0ldbl 1.15+dfsg-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-1 ii libgtksourceview2.0-0 2.10.4-1 ii libncurses5 5.9-7 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libpq5 9.1.3-2 ii libreadline6 6.2-8 ii libtinfo5 5.9-7 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-9.1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-11+aptbuild1 pspp recommends no packages. pspp suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
