Hi,

any idea why Umlaute are not displayed correctly when they appear in 
text generated from the FormBuilder module?

When looking at the source of the form in the web browser, it has:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
         PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
          "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="de_DE" xml:lang="de_DE">

<head>
<title>Jobnummer erzeugen</title>
<link href="/styles/cgiforms.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript"><!-- hide from old browsers
[...]

</script>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Jobnummer erzeugen</h3>
<noscript><span class="fb_invalid">Bitte aktivieren Sie JavaScript oder 
benutzen Sie einen neueren Webbrowser.</span></noscript>
<p>Sie m�ssen Angaben f�r die <span 
class="fb_required">hervorgehobenen</span> Felder machen.</p>
[...]


So the header says the encoding is UTF-8.  The message template is also 
UTF-8:

sunflo cgi-bin # file 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/CGI/FormBuilder/Messages/de.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/CGI/FormBuilder/Messages/de.pm: Perl5 
module source, UTF-8 Unicode text
sunflo cgi-bin #


Text with Umlauten I put myself into the form, like field labels, are 
shown correctly.  I have put '@charset "utf-8";' at the beginning of the 
style sheet, but it doesn't help.

How could I fix this problem?

This is probably not the best list for this question, but one possible 
solution is to html encode it. You can use app-text/recode as follows:

# echo 'ü' | recode utf8...html
&uuml;

Or just use the codes from:

Likely not, yet it could be a Gentoo-specific problem.

Thanks, I could patch the message template accordingly, that would solve 
the problem :)
