------- Comment #1 From Thomas Krüger 2005-01-18 02:01:24 0000 ------- 
Problem:
If the environmental variable LANG is not set the XML Editor will not display special characters like äöüߧ. The saved output contains the entity &#65533; instead of the character.

Steps to reproduce:
- start the XMLEditor with no LANG set
- type any special character
- save the file 
- see the output

reproduceable: always

effected versions: up to xxe-2.8_p1

Solutions:
- add warning to ebild or
- enforce setting LANG before start; 'LANG="en_US" xxe' has been tested with German characters (and works)

Is your LANG not set at all before-hand?

Has this bug been reported upstream?

------- Comment #3 From Thomas Krüger 2005-01-25 11:30:12 0000 ------- 
No, LANG was not set (fresh user account and no global setting).

The problem is known, it's explained in the FAQ section of the developers website (-> http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/user_faq.html#linuxlocale ).

Thanks for the info.  Note added to ebuild postinstall.
