Some diacritic letters are displayed incorrectly [#22205]

Post by Dr.Sol »

When installing or removing MM and you choose a language that contains diacritic letters, the diacritic letters are shown incorrectly. If you choose swedish for example, the letter "å" (an "a" with a ring over,) is shown as "|". Diacritic letters are common in many languages, so maybe it is more special characters that are also shown incorrectly?

My first thought is that the font for the installation dialogues maybe don't support all diacritic letters?

Is this an issue in the interface of MediaMonkey or with the media file information displayed in MediaMonkey?

As far as I’ve seen, the problem is only in the installationprogram/deinstallation ditto (if that was what you meant?) No problem in the use of the MM-program.

So the installer has this issue, no issues in MediaMonkey itself, nor with how files are displayed?

Yes it is the installer/uninstaller.

For example: The first dialogue when installing, is choose of language
Correct text: "Välj språk för installationen"
Shown text: "Välj spr|k för installationen"

the diacritic letter "å" (an "a" with a ring) is shown as an "|"

In the following dialogues ("Welcome to the installation of mediamonkey", license agreement, Installation location etc), all "å" also are changed to "|" and "Å" to "L´"

In the confirmation dialogue "Catalog already exists, do you still want to install in that catalog?" The swedish word "ändå" is changed to something looking more or less like "ĤndÄA"

The installation works, everything is installed correctly, but the letter å, an "a" with a ring is shown incorrectly.
