Additional: The character table on Firefox Browser display correct; but values sent to e-mail are invalid as follows: Actual results: Ć and ć Expected results: Ç and ç As shown in yahoo mail. Actual results: Ć and ć Expected results: Ç and ç Hello, to create Ç or ç it is necessary to press AltGr-< (AltGr-Shift-<) (see Keyboard layout pages for US-International keyboard) - so there is no problem with terminal output. There remains the problem you described in comment #1 -> I'm reasigning this bug to firefox component. The email problem is likely due to an incorrect Charset header in the email. What is the value of this header? 2 Comments: 1) Current e-mails settings: default Characters text/plain; charset=utf-8 are corrupted, some characters are misinterpreted. In other words, the same e-mail that can be opened using IE on Windows, without errors, is shown wrong inf Fedora-Firefox. But Firefox works fine on Windows, opens e-mails with no errors. US settings are perfect without special adjustments to receive most of the Brazilian-Portuguese text files (also Portugal), except for some "Brazilian Specific Keyboard" keys, which I never used because I don like them. 2) U.S. International Keyboard is standard. It supports US and "Part of the rest of the World", without big changes. AltGr-< (AltGr-Shift-<) IS NOT the correct sequence for U.S. International layout, at least not for my past 10 years using notebooks, laptops, desktops running from Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP and VISTA. The idea of changing standard sequence to write Brazilian-Portuguese characters is not good. At least not if you think of a country that was once bigger than USA (until USA acquired Alaska Brazil was geographically speaking Brazil was bigger in territory than US), with little less than the US population. Millions of people are surely not willing to change the way they use their keyboards to "adjust" to a new Fedora scheme. This problem is bigger than it seams to be. We just updated the Firefox version in Fedora/development from 2.0 to a 3.0 pre-release version, which improves performance, memory usage, and fixes many bugs and crashes. Closing as CANTFIX since we aren't fixing bugs filed against 2.0 now that 3.0 is in. If this bug is still present in rawhide using a Firefox 3.0 version, please re-open this bug. Thanks and Happy Holidays Well I use Firefox 3 and this bug is present. When I go to System > Hardware > Keyboard I have the proper setup for the keyboard. I use the field to test and everything is OK. When I go outside, anywhere (firefox or gedit) I cannot make 'ç'. Is always 'ć'. Some foruns told me to go system-config-keyboard and change the default keyboard for all the users. But still I got the same problem. This is not (only) a Firefox issue. I use Fedora 10, with language pt_BR.UTF-8, keyboard layout us-international, in a HP DV6448 Notebook, and have this bug happening to me in OpenOffice, Quanta Plus, Terminal, Anjuta, just to name a few. I just upgraded from Fedora 9, and it wasn't happening then. The funny thing is, the test field for keyboard layout in System Settings -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard, show the correct character "ç", in any other text input field appears the invalid character "ć". So if it is needed any other info, please contatc me, I would love to help. Cheers and keep up with the good work. |
