Hi, can''t seem to figure it out. I have text saved as UTF8 in my MySQL database, and it shows up fine in the browser. However, I want to export to pdf (pdf;writer) and csv-text. When I do that the accented foreign characters do not show up. I''ve tried to convert them before exporting, but I don''t seem to be able to get it right. (Iconv etc. do not seem to convert it.) I''ve also looked it up on the forum, but I can''t find the right solution. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
