Hi, I have been fighting for a while now with a problem that the German special vowls (Umlaute), e.g. üöä get scrambled when read in from file using IO.readlines. I have played quite some time with various code pages. But that didn''t fix the problem. I lately realized that those üöä aren''t even written correctly to the console when starting rails from the command prompt using ruby script/server, for example: 127.0.0.1 - - [08/Dec/2008:20:22:50 Westeuropõische Normalzeit] "POST /mypet/d This should be Westeurop>ä<ische and not Westeurop>õ<ische. Even when I start up plain Rails those specials vowls get scrambled. Does anybody have some idea?
