[Qexo-general] Strange special character problem

[Markus Skistad]

Hi,


I'm using kawa-1.8 against a ISO-8859-1 xml document. When special
characters are encountered(in particular the norwegian characters
Æ/æ(198/230), Å/å(197/229), Ø/ø(216/248)) the escape sequence returned
doesn't even resemble the correct one. Instead the following sequence,
�, is returned "twice" for each character, beeing rendered twice as a question mark inside a square by both firefox and explorer.


Æ/æ(198/230) returns ��

Å/å(197/229) returns ��

Ø/ø(216/248)) returns ��

I tried removing the following code from XMLPrinter.java as suggested in a previous post regarding special characters
        else if (v >= 127)
          super.write("&#"+v+";");

It did however only result in each special character being replaced by a question mark

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Markus
