Let's keep our eyes on this one and see if we have similar problems in the 2.0 branch. It's a character encoding problem, not a font problem. The technical spec says that UTF-8 encoding is to be used everywhere: https://www.progclub.org/wiki/GNUrc#Character_encoding

This task is resolved in Version 2.0 by not publishing the language translation in German.

Wensheng,
Your work looks solid, thank you.

John,
Please review and either integrate into the v2.0 specification or close the tickets with comments, as appropriate.

Hi, Stephen,

This cannot be a problem of missing font because in the same page the word "Löschen" is displayed correctly in the left table while it is displayed wrongly in the right table - "L�schen".

This problem can be tracked to the file iptstat.sql.
line 1181:
(128, 'GRCAD$HDR1$HLK5', 'Delete', 'Löschen', 'Eliminare', 'Supprimer', 'Borrar', NULL, 'delete', NULL, 'Admin', 240, 241),
line 1189:
(137, 'GRCAD$HDR2$HLK5', 'Delete', 'L�schen', 'Cancella', 'Supprimer', 'Borrar', NULL, 'delete', NULL, 'Admin', 264, 265),

We can see that different words are used for "Löschen".
This is a problem. We need review the language file.

Thank you, Wensheng.

This has not been seen before. It is possible a font family is missing on the computer running the test. Please further investigate this matter, to learn why this is only happening on some pages.
