windows: umlauts are not properly displayed

[nurio]

All umlauts are not properly displayed when running on windows 7
Does not only affect gui-components but also correctly escaped umlauts in the html help files viewed in JavaHelp browser

[Kuaza (kuaza)]

Can be fixed by using HTML tags, extra class for GUI-texts will be added in coming versions.

[nurio (nurio)]

as mentioned, this bug occurs also when using html tags

i think this could due to us only saving files on unix systems - on which the errors do not occur
maybe the encoding of the files is not correct - changing to UTF8 may bring help...

[nurio (nurio)]

fixed reencoding the gui file from UTF8 to ISO-8859-1
(UTF8 somehow did not work on windows)

[Kuaza (kuaza)]

the fix only works for windows, now the same problem seems to be in linux.
all german "umlaute" are now question marks.

[Kuaza (kuaza)]

now I also tried it in windows (virtual box under ubuntu) and it even don't works there!
seems to be a bigger problem as first thought. but I don't think it's release critical fixing this can wait till everything other works.

[nurio (nurio)]

This is really only an encoding problem -- it is not as important as I
thought previously. If the source file is properly encoded in UTF8 and the
ide is set to use this encoding, it will work nicely on unix systems.

The jar files created on unix systems work in windows too, even if the
source files where encoded in UTF8

kuaza: do you changed your ide to use the gui file as LATIN1-encoded?
because if you didn't it is not unusually that encoding problems occur...

[Kuaza (kuaza)]

i checked it and it is utf8 encoded, but after updating the svn repository all the "umlaute" were question marks, also in the source file. maybe after you tried if it's working with latin1 you set the encoding back to utf8 and all the "umlaute" were lost with this transaction. i'm now trying to manually change all the words with "umlaute" so that they are displayed right.

if trying something with the encoding again, please don't commit it, just report results and i'll try to fix it!
