#149 Problem with Greek fonts

[Stelios Kessanidis]

I have installed MGW in our server (virtual web
hosting, run on Linux) and then tried to run MGW with
the default English setup.
Everything is working fine so far.

However I have problems in showing Greek fonts correctly.
For example is ToDo, when I edit a new task, some text
(f.e. the subject) appears correctly while the rest
appears wrong.
I'm attaching two screenshots to see the problem.

Without touching anything else in the setup, I edited
the system configuration and edited :
$appconf['def_charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
into
$appconf['def_charset'] = 'iso-8859-7';
which is the correct for Greek (but I kept all the rest
in English) but still the "problem" occurs.

Also I made 1-2 trials with the lang files. I kept the
original settings for english, but changes only some
lang files with Greek words (but kept the same name
en.lang).
The Greek words were appearing in a wrong way again.
I also tried this with :
$appconf['def_charset'] = 'iso-8859-7';
but still the same problem.

Since I want to translate everything into Greek
language, can you please help me resolve this matters ?
Also, how shall I make Greek language to appear among
the other available languages (I mean in the list of
choosing a language) after I will translate all lang
files ?
Regards
Stelios

Stelios,

I'm having the same problem with you with the Greek fonts. (MGW 0.7.1 running on Sparc SunFire 280R, Solaris 9) Changing the config.php.ini actually does nothing :-) The problem is "solved" (temporarily always) by swapping the character set of your browser to Greek ISO 8859-7. NOTE: IE sucks! ISO 8859-7 is not fully supported probably. I'm using Mozilla 1.6 and everything works sweet :-)

A suggestion to the authors: Maybe if we could change the character set that is sended.... ??? From en/8859-1 to el/8859-7? I suppose this could work fine :-)

Regards,
Nikos.
