From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040618 Description of problem: I am trying to get my palm to synchronise with evolution. The device is a PalmOne Tungsten T3, running the standard palmos 5.2 ROM + PiLOC (http://palm.penreader.com/index.html), the greek version in particular (http://greek.palm.penreader.com/Greek_PiLoc.html) in order to support greek characters. I've configured my system to read and write greek, based on the instructions found here: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/s.zachariadis/greek.html I can correctly read and write greek in evolution, sending & receiving greek email or having greek contacts. The problem is that when synchronising my Palm with evolution, the greek characters are wrongly transcoded and displayed. I suppose that this is an encoding translation problem. The problem is shown here: http://rohirrim.org/evo.jpg The "Full Name" and "File As" fields should be in the greek alphabet but isn't. The "Job Title" field was typed in evolution in greek and thus displays correctly. As such, in synchronising the palm with evolution, greek (and possibly other international characters) are displayed incorrectly - i guess that this is an encoding translation problem. I would be willing to send a developer my addressbook database etc., but I would rather not have it posted on bugzilla... Thank you for your help, work & great product and (obviously) feel free to email me any queries. [note that as there's a bug in the glib2 shipped with fedora, you have to have the fix mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126613 installed. gpilotd crashes otherwise]. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-1.4.6-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have some greek data on the addressbook/datebook/todo list on the pilot. 2. Synchronise with evolution. 3. Greek characters on evolution are incorrectly transcoded/displayed. Actual Results: Synchronisation successfuly completed, but the greek characters are not, well, greek anymore and are illegible. Expected Results: Greek data should be displayed in greek letters in evolution. Additional info:
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Probably worth checking upstream as well: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/
Closing per lack of response. Also note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version.
