[libxml++] iso-8859-1 encoded characters

[Thomas Jarosch <thomas jarosch intra2net com>]

Hi!

I'm experiencing a very strange behavior when I try to use special iso-8859-1
characters like the German umlauts. The problem is easily reproducebale
with the dom_parser example program of libxml++.
Attached is a small testcase to show the problem.

When I use the write_to_string() function, everything is normal.
The dom_read_write program shows no sign of a problem, too.
But when you get the content of a node, the umlauts are broken
and show up as two garbage characters.
(look at the output of dom_parser example)

Any help is appreciated.

I'm using libxml++-0.23.0 and libxml2-2.5.7.

cheers,
Thomas
