Re: [SL] Trouble entering unicode characters

[Rolf S. (tokon) <in...@to...>]

1. Are you sure your database supports unicode? Log in with pqsl to your 
db and type "show client_encoding;".
2. I made some tests with an UTF database and wasn't able to create 
correct PDF outputs. I'm not completely sure, but it seems to me that 
you have much less trouble if you use the Latin1 charset if you need 
French characters.
