Patterson Waltz III Created: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 10:12 PM Updated: Sun, 14 Nov 2004 10:24 AM Description: Data coming out of my UTF-8 format Postgres database appears correctly in displaytag tables on webpages, but when I request an export in Excel or text format, all non ASCII characters are garbled. I am using the Mac OS X Platform. After some exploration, I determined that this is due to the file encoding being set to Windows Latin-1. Excel documents which were created on Windows and that I open on my Mac do not have garbled non-ASCII text, so I suspect that all that is missing in the exported file is some way to indicate to Excel what encoding has been used. Some of my recent web searches suggest that at least the more recent versions of Office store characters in little-endian UCS2 encoding. For text files, it seems to me that UTF-8 would be the the most platform and language agnostic encoding to use. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
