[vorbis] Problems with German umlauts and vorbiscomment
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, as I said before on this list I use the vorbiscomment utility in my music file management perl script and I've just noticed that it has huge problems with German umlauts. "ö", for example, becomes "ö", which is QUITE annoying. In xmms, the tags are displayed correctly, though. I'm using the newest libraries and stuff from the Mandrake Cooker (it tells me it's RC2). - -- - -M - ------- Magnus von Koeller <magnus@vonkoeller.de> ------ Georg-Westermann-Allee 76 / 38104 Braunschweig / Germany Phone: +49-(0)531/2094886 Mobile: +49-(0)179/4562940 lp1 on fire (One of the more obfuscated kernel messages) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see gnupg.org iD8DBQE7qg9vUIvM6e6BgFARAo2hAJ9tqyuEkLtkMcCr1DerHfqJEUDcSACg19lH idVWSWnyJyakzN+qHqCSaXQ=16V6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --- >8 ---- List archives: xiph.org/archives Ogg project homepage: xiph.org/ogg To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Are you displaying the comments with vorbiscomment? --- Stan Seibert --- >8 ---- List archives: xiph.org/archives Ogg project homepage: xiph.org/ogg To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

[vorbis] Problems with German umlauts and vorbiscomment
The problem is, is there is more than one way to display text in a system. Unicode + ANSI are the two standards and they are not interchangable but they can be convertable between each other. "ö" is the ansi equivalant of (unicode)"ö" The vorbis comment util needs to updated to handle unicode correctly.
