GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 253856
Umlauts in VCards are not properly imported
Last modified: 2005-08-23 06:04:21 UTC
Description of Problem: VCards and iCalenders can have umlauts (as in german ae=ä,oe=ö,ue=ü). The evolution importer however does not properly import umlauts. A word like "H[oe]henweg" (with the umlaut in []) will be imported as "H" Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Import- a VCard or iCalender-file with umlauts Actual Results: H Expected Results: H[oe]henweg or Höhenweg How often does this happen? always Additional Information: Entering Umlauts directly in Calender or Contacts works well. Exporting those to VCards or Icalenders has not been tested.
This misfeature barely renders evolution unusable for people using ISO8859-1 character set.
