[OSM-dev] JOSM/OSM Charset problems

[Immanuel Scholz]

Hi,

sorry for not replying for so long - I had much to do at work (and will
have 'till next month). But more time lurks at the horizon in July (yipie!
;)

Yea, this is (was) a known bug. I tried some really scary thing to convert
the stuff to UTF-8 within the html-encoding procedure but failed. I didn't
thought of your easy way. Thanks alot ;-)

I will apply your patch for the UTF export today evening (when I'm at home
again).

For the other direction, I'd rather like to have the server speak UTF-8
correctly.


Ciao, Imi
