Dear all,
it seems that the list is back online ;) Let's try to move on.
Concerning this particular problem, it seems I was right thinking to an UTF-8/non UTF-8 problem:

Hi Raphael,
Can you precise a bit please? Which menu? All menus? All special char? éčėź and so on? Which locale are you using?I have done an inventory.
It seems that only tabs are wrong (tabs in main window, tabs in dialog boxes...). Elsewhere (menus, items of dialogboxes...) the french specific caracteres are successfully displayed.
In fact, Patrice has the following locales under MDK: LANG=fr_FR LC_CTYPE=fr_FR LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR LC_TIME=fr_FR LC_COLLATE=fr_FR LC_MONETARY=fr_FR LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR LC_PAPER=fr_FR LC_NAME=fr_FR LC_ADRESS=fr_FR LC_TELEPHONE=fr_FR LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR LC_INDENTIFICATION=fr_FR LC_ALL=
Positionning locales correctly to UTF-8 ones corrects the behaviour of pga3: $ export LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 $ pgadmin3 -------> IS OK :)
I don't know well MDK and have no free time at the moment for searching a good and definitive solution to force the whole desktop to use UTF-8. If there are any Mandrake wizard on the list that would be cool to help Patrice moving to UTF-8.
What I don't really understand (did not investigate deeply):
a) I tried putting locales to fr_FR (in a shell, not the whole Desktop) on my Debian and launching pga3 is ok.
b) Anyway that pga3 detects non UTF-8 locales and try to force using the corresponding UTF-8 one and revert to a non unicode if it does not find it?
Last but not least, Patrice suggested that we update the download page to reflect the MDK version we "support". I'll provide a patch as soon as possible (I really lack free time at the moment) but I can't find any MDK version in the release ftp dir. IIRC Jean-Michel used to provide them.
@Jean-Michel: are you planning to deliver packages for MDK or shall someone else take care of them?
Regards, Raphaėl
