Re: [GWhere-discussion] Re: problems with special characters (umlaute)

Hi Vlad and list,

I think that Max's problem and yours are not the same.

Max has problem to catalog files with specials characters. It may be a 
scanning encoding problem. I have no idea how to solve it. May be with 
Glib scan functions instead of Standard C functions ?
Whereas you cannot read under GNU/Linux catalogs which are made under MS 
Windows (and inversely). Your problem can be solved by using unicode in 
GWhere catalog file.
