Comment 1 Sami Laitinen 2005-01-10 11:55:05 UTC 
When I write a blog entry using gnome-blog all scandinavian letters (öäå) are converted to nonsense like ö, ä and Ã¥. Every time I add a blog entry, I have   to go manually fix those letters. I'm using utf-8 locale, the blog web page (blogspot) encoding is set to utf-8 and my browser (firefox) is set to automagically find the correct character encoding for webpages.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. write a blog entry using gnome-blog
2. use scands in blog text (åäö)
3. post the entry

Actual Results:  
UTF-8 scands are converted to nonsense (maybe to iso8859-1?)

Expected Results:  
It should send the blog entry using correct character encoding

You will probably need to check/file this upstream at bugs.gnome.org though Gnome-blog release is from oct 2003. If you file a bug upstream, please post the link back here..we can then follow it and get a patch into our tree if the problem is fixed.
