Description of problem: Clean install of Phoebe in Czech, cs_CZ.UTF-8 When Evolution starts, it uses ISO-8859-1 fonts and replaces all ISO-8859-2 chars by underscores. Some of the problems can be fixed by selecting ISO-8859-2 encoding for screen fonts in the settings dialog (note that printing fonts already have ISO-8859-2), but some (e.g. fonts used in the summary view) don't have a GUI way to change the encoding. Another bug: In the icon listbox at the left of the settings dialog, the labels are cut off after accented characters (e.g. Nastaven instead of Nastaven&icaron; ) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-1.2.1-2
I'm not seeing this here -- did you have settings leftover from a previous release?
No, clean install with new /home. A screenshot showing one the problems in the summary view is at http://www.linuxzone.cz/pictures/Plocha.gif (Moje po_asi etc). [I haven't found a way to set up *this* font right. Similar underscores appear in the config dialog and elsewhere, and some of them can be fixed as described above]. I'll try to attach more tomorrow, and try the second beta in a week or so.
The same problem in clean install of Red Hat Linux release 8.0.93 (Phoebe) (beta2) Package evolution-1.2.1-4
Does this seem better with gtkhtml-1.1.8-1 and evolution 1.2.2 from rawhide?
Yes, fonts look pretty good with this release of evolution and gtkhtml. I haven`t find any other bug yet ..
Additionally I found one bug in Settings menu fonts. <a href="http://hch.internet.cz/download/sets.png">screenshot</a>
With gtkhtml-1.1.8-3.i386.rpm from todays rawhide is everything once again wrong. ISO-8859-2 encoding in summary page and Subject of messages are with underscores without appropriate chracter.
clean phoebe 8.0.93 install in cs_CZ.UTF-8 + evolution-1.2.2-1, gtkhtml-1.1.8-3: - the default *screen* font is still 8859-1; note that default default *print* font is 8859-2. IIRC, the defaults (-1 for screen, -2 for print) haven't changed - before changing the default, non-8859-1 chars show as _ - after changing the default, thinks look pretty much OK, even the summary view (this is better since my previous report). The only problem I have noticed is the icon bar in the Settings dialog (see the second screenshot link from Martin)

UTF-8 should be handled sanely with 1.4.x in rawhide.
I confirm Evolution 1.4 doesn't have this problem anymore, I didn't test the current rawhide version but the version available at the maintainer's homepage on people.redhat.com/~katzj on both clean and old RH9 installs. That's good news !
