(Get the code!)
Hi Philippe,
I don't know what is causing this bug. The only thing I can think of is some kind of weirdness in the Qt framework. It only appears to affect certain characters and punctuation marks. (One of the offenders I had problems with on my system was the upside down question mark commonly used in Spanish.)
By default, Qt makes use of a different system for translations (Qt Translator). If I understand our translation system correctly (and, frankly, I don't), we make use of the gettext python module. Do you know if the strange characters are appearing only in the GUI, or both in the GUI and in the error messages? If it's the former, the problem likely lies with Qt/PyQt, and I can try and solicit those mailing lists for ideas.
If it's the latter, it may be something we are doing wrong in the interface between translator and gettext. The PyQt website has some information about translations that might be of help in tracking down the problem.
Anything else turned up on your end of things?
Cheers,
Rob
