[Easytag-mailing] UTF-8 problem

[Vladimír Jícha <jicha centrum cz>]

Hi,

I'm absolutely new to EasyTAG. I just downloaded this program yesterday 
because I was looking for a good tagging program running on Linux. So 
far I just tried the Windows version and ran into a couple of problems 
because of incorrectly read national characters.

The first problem appeared right after start of the program. In Czech 
localized Windows, the default path to store application settings is 
"C:\Documents and Settings\user_login\Data aplikací\". But EasyTAG isn't 
able to read the last letter "í" and displays it as "Ă". Even then if I 
open a directory (EasyTAG reads directory names correctly) and there are 
files with national characters in name, ­EasyTAG displays them 
incorrectly. Also it displays incorrectly the tags. But only sometimes. 
I found following behavior: If the tag is ID3 v2.3 with UTF-16, it is 
displayed correctly. If it is ID3 v2.4 (UTF-8), it is displayed 
incorrectly. Letters ž and š are replaced by šššŠŠŠŠa "square character" 
(sorry can't paste it here) in both ID3 tags and file names. I used 
mp3tag (http://mp3tag.de) to write the tags. All other programs read 
them correctly.

I'll test it also on Linux and will let you know the results.

Best regards,
Vladimir
