Hi,

Thanks for the answers!

I did some tests, with Tutorial 1 in both PHP_QT and C++, and I think it
can accept iso-8859-1 encoded characters too. Not only the first 127
ASCII characters display right on the Tutorial 1 button, but if you use
127 to 255 byte values, they display like those byte codes look in
iso-8859-1 character set! (latin1)

Fine. Not useful for Hungarian, but an acceptable extra feature. ;-)

For example entering "=C5=B1" in iso-8859-2 edited source code will displ=
ay
"=C3=BB" on a button, as that is the same BYTE VALUE in iso-8859-1.

It's okay. I just needed to know, it expects Latin1 characters. Now I
can also test toUtf8(). :-)

My test results confirm that everything is alright! ;-) From
tests/unicode.php, changing the input string to > 127 characters,
->toUtf8() displays characters right on my Konsole, so I think, the
latin1 to utf-8 conversion is done.

(Of course if I edit in Latin1 or Latin2, I can see different characters
on the same byte code, but both the characters display as their latin1
value on the button label or console. KWrite is a very good editor to
test this.)

Printing the string with echo, prints binary dirt, that's also correct,
because the byte sequence of the latin-1 characters have no meaning if
for my utf-8 console. Displaying on and inside widgets, will be up to
Qt, when we can pass QString to them.

I'll have my input data in utf-8, so I think fromUtf8 could be used, but
currently I cannot call that method on QString. Will it be implemented
as static method like the C++? (If yes, I think I will need an example
on how to call. :-) )

Many thanks and keep up the good work! ;-)

ps: may I report problems with any widgets appearing in the source? If
yes, then I think QLabel is completely broken. :-)
