03:14:38 mandsch: hi Testbaudson
03:35:23 Testbaudson: hi mandsch
03:37:16 mandsch: just been trying the lc_ctype thing
03:37:48 mandsch: and it looks as if it's not working in iframes ...
03:39:30 Testbaudson: but it works for lc_all?
03:39:34 Testbaudson: weird
03:39:44 mandsch: yep, works for lc_all
03:39:50 mandsch: strange...
03:39:52 : * Testbaudson is confused
03:40:20 mandsch: Just wanted to inform you
03:40:25 Testbaudson: thanks for letting me know
03:40:32 mandsch: and maybe it's working at you
03:40:38 mandsch: and i have something else ...
03:40:48 mandsch: where a problem
03:41:02 mandsch: I also know now
03:41:25 mandsch: that printPDF won'T work because of the decimal point problem with locale de_de ...
03:41:53 mandsch: the pdf positioning then also uses , instead of . - and corrupts the pdf
03:42:18 Testbaudson: ok
03:51:05 mandsch: Testbaudson: i have one more general i18n question ...
03:53:47 Testbaudson: mandsch: please elaborate
03:54:03 mandsch: it concerns also pdf
03:54:16 mandsch: we have the de_de po file in utf-8
03:54:37 mandsch: when we i18n the msgstring in printpdf.conf
03:54:56 mandsch: we get utf-8 german strings in the pdf
03:55:20 mandsch: but naturally they don't show up as german umlaute
03:55:43 mandsch: i'm a little bit uncertain where the problems lies
03:55:44 Testbaudson: that's interesting
03:55:58 Testbaudson: we should inspect the pdf lib
03:56:08 mandsch: yeah
03:56:23 mandsch: i don't have enough insight, i gues
03:56:29 Testbaudson: if you can't solve the problem, please file a ticket
03:56:38 Testbaudson: this would be helpful
03:56:49 Testbaudson: I will look into it next week
03:56:50 mandsch: just from tha fact, that we do these strange udiaresis conversions
03:57:18 mandsch: in mod_printpdf_pdf, makes me think ican only handle iso-8859-1
03:57:43 Testbaudson: I'm not an expert on the print module...
03:57:47 Testbaudson: but this sounds plausible
03:58:34 mandsch: i think because it it dependant of the font used ...
03:58:53 mandsch: the font is incorporated in the pdf
03:59:14 mandsch: are there utf-8 fonts ??
03:59:43 mandsch: i'll file a ticket ... ;- )
03:59:54 Testbaudson: this is too weird for a friday
04:00:16 Testbaudson: thanks for filing the ticket
