When looking at the source of the form in the web browser, it has: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="de_DE" xml:lang="de_DE"> <head> <title>Jobnummer erzeugen</title> <link href="/styles/cgiforms.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- hide from old browsers [...] </script> </head> <body> <h3>Jobnummer erzeugen</h3> <noscript><span class="fb_invalid">Bitte aktivieren Sie JavaScript oder benutzen Sie einen neueren Webbrowser.</span></noscript> <p>Sie m�ssen Angaben f�r die <span class="fb_required">hervorgehobenen</span> Felder machen.</p> [...] So the header says the encoding is UTF-8. The message template is also UTF-8: sunflo cgi-bin # file /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/CGI/FormBuilder/Messages/de.pm /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/CGI/FormBuilder/Messages/de.pm: Perl5 module source, UTF-8 Unicode text sunflo cgi-bin # Text with Umlauten I put myself into the form, like field labels, are shown correctly. I have put '@charset "utf-8";' at the beginning of the style sheet, but it doesn't help. How could I fix this problem?This is probably not the best list for this question, but one possible
Likely not, yet it could be a Gentoo-specific problem.
solution is to html encode it. You can use app-text/recode as follows: # echo 'ü' | recode utf8...html ü Or just use the codes from: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/german/hmr/schreiben/umlaute/umlaute_ASCII_html.html
Thanks, I could patch the message template accordingly, that would solve the problem :)
