Bug 199675 – dev-php/PEAR-Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer - UTF-8 support for

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description valli 2007-11-19 17:30:48 UTC]

The current version of the PEAR Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer
still does not handle UTF-8 charset correctly.
However, there is a working patch (Miso's patch) on
http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=1572

This patch works for me and for a lot of other people.

I think the ebuild should include this.
UTF-8 functionality is fundamental nowadays.

Reproducible: Always

Patched Workbook.php

This is the complete Workbook.php
Just Replace the original
/usr/share/php/Spreadsheet/Excel/Writer/Workbook.php
with this one.

Please, attach a patch against 0.9.1 so that we can review which changes are made there... I'm rather confused by the upstream bug.
