#5242 [Stendhal] Clients uses OS default encoding for chatlog

[oslsachem]

Diacritics (á,é,í,ó,ú,ñ) from the translated strings are not correctly decoded by the client in test server.

For example:
[18:26] Ves un peque��o escudo. Puede protegerte frente a espadas y mazas pero frente a armas m��s potentes no te conf��es. Stats are (DEF: 6).

Do you see those characters correctly if you use them in chat?

Which Java Version and which operating system are you using?

Bluelads also experienced this problem and fixed it by setting some UTF option in Eclipse.

What does happen in the download client?
What happens in the Webstart client?

The same.

>>What happens in the Webstart client?

I can't connect to the test server with that client. Is there a way to do it?

[Kimmo Rundelin]

Does this still happen? I made some changes a while ago that fixed the issue for myself, but I don't know about others.

Ahem, it works for me too:
"Ves un pequeño escudo. Puede protegerte frente a espadas y mazas pero frente a armas más potentes no te confíes. Stats are (DEF: 6)."
