I just upgraded to beta 3036, but now the Norwegian letters i am using as Æ Ø Å, are outputted as "�". For instanse wind direction should be "Sør 173grader" ,but is outputted as "S�r 173grader"

Any ide on how to come around this ?`

Processing of non-UTF8 encoded files is currently using ANSI when it should be using ISO-8859-1 - this will be corrected in the next build.

I should have added - so a solution would be to use UTF-8 if you can. Are you using the standard web files, or something else?

Thanks for answere,

I am using my own templates , www.rydningen.net

Would that be a setting in my templates then witch cararcter set to use ? , or smething in cumulus ?

You would have to change your templates to be utf-8 encoded, and also change the charset line in the headers:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252"/>

You would then have to select the utf-8 option in Cumulus for each file. It may be quite a bit of work for you. The alternative is to wait for the next build - I can't say when that will be available.

Thanks for help.

I think ill loose the norwegian letters and use shorts in the meantime.

Thanks again.

Yes, as mentioned in the announcement for build 3037.

Do i need to activate/ set something in the ini files or something ? , i still have the same "odd" caracters on my website after upgrading.

Thanks again,

You just need to make sure that your templates have the correct encoding, and that you select the correct encoding in Cumulus.

Normally, this would be iso-8859-1 if you don't have utf-8 selected in Cumulus, and utf-8 if you do have it selected. I assume that windows-1252 can be used instead of iso-8859-1, but I'm not an expert in this area. It is far preferable to use utf-8 wherever possible.

It looks like your web server isn't sending an encoding, so I believe this means that browsers will assume utf-8 by default, but again I'm not sure.
