A colleague tried to use KeePass 2.10 on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, UTF-8 is the system's default encoding). He sees small empty boxes instead of Umlauts and other non-ASCII characters and can't enter any of his own. Well, he can and if he does I see them as normal characters under Windows 7, but he sees only the small boxes. He updated Mono to 2.6.3, but it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Ok, I found this link: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/font-probleme-bei-mono-anwendungen-wogegen-so/ (Sorry, it's in German) It says that Mono maps a Windows font to a Thai font which has no Umlaute, so if you remove this Thai font package, Mono chooses a different font. My colleague tried that and now sees Umlaute in the KeePass menus, but not in the names of password groups. Does anybody know what else needs to be done? Which fonts are used by KeePass?
