fabrizio giustina closed DISPL-107:
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version: 1.1
since the problem is related to Excel handling of UTF8 encoded files, the fix
here is to use the new binary excel format which will be included in displaytag
1.1.
Tests for for the csv/xml format also show that encoding is preserved during
export and I can't see any other possible fox to displaytag...
> Excel and Text exports use Windows Latin-1 encoding

> Project: DisplayTag
> Type: Bug
> Components: Export
> Versions: 1.0 RC2
> Reporter: J. Patterson Waltz III
> Assignee: fabrizio giustina
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.1

>
> 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.
