[Qt-qml] Scandinavian characters

[Mark Tucker]

Hi,

This does raise the issue of a possible bug/issue with the creator that could be looked at, that I kind of touched on here:

http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2032/#9413

The Creator makes no effort to inform the user that the character they just pasted into the editor cannot be displayed by the QMLViewer in the current encoding. When you type/paste in such a character, you see it in the editor view perfectly fine, even after saving the file in the default Windows encoding, (which is latin-1, and not UTF-8, I believe).

Only once you close the file and then reopen it do you see in the editor view a '?' character, to indicate there may be an issue.

Thanks,

Mark T

Hi,

Michael is right, this is an encoding issue, QML source files need to use UTF-8 encoding for Scandinavian characters to display correctly. You can normally select the default encoding for the text files you edit in your editor or IDE. My test of pasteing Scandinavian characters to QLineEdit was incorrect as it retained the encoding. Closed the issue I raised as invalid.

Hi Jarno,

I tested Scandinavian characters on Ubuntu Linux, Symbian^3 device and Windows XP. Scandinavian characters show correctly on Linux and Symbian. On Windows XP they show correctly on QWidget-based QLineEdits, but not on QML text elements, suggesting this is a valid bug for QML elements. Other localized characters like Chinese symbols did show correctly though if you have Chinese fonts installed on your Windows XP.

I created a bug report about the issue:

I used scands in plain QML file without any special measures and I ran it with qmlviewer from QtCreator on Windows XP. Don't know about encoding? Scands (and also other special characters) are then shown as a question marks inside square boxes like <?>

What encoding are you using?

QML doesn't seem to encode Scandinavian characters like ä, ö and å properly. All special characters are shown as question marks in qmlviewer. Is there a bug? How scands can be used?

Br, Jarno
