Description civen69 2001-11-21 22:24:27 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem: When synching from a palm-pilot that has
contacts/calendar events in greek (iso8859-7), they appear as boxes or
_____ in the contacts and calendar tabs of the evolution. This should not
be a problem with the font in these components, as I can write greek next
to the boxes or ____. Evolution perhaps does not honor the codepage (it is
defined in the mail settings as default character encoding. (maybe put a
similar option in the contacts and calendar options?)

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. have a palm pilot (I have a III expanded to 8MB of RAM) with greek
support and greek appointments/contacts
2. sync with evolution
3. look at one of the appointments contacts that should appear in greek

Actual Results:
the greek appointments/ contacts appear as boxes or _______ (in various places)

Expected Results:
the greek appointments / contacts should appear in greek

How often does this happen? 
Always
