Parsing of names with special chars
« on: January 31, 2010, 05:11:22 PM »
Hi!

[tb2.0.0.23, g0.2.12] I use gContactSync in readonly because I don't want to setup all the specials for german address fields etc.  This works great so far, but one thing: I use the parsing of names, but this fails if the name includes one of the special german chars:

Andrea Muller is converted correctly to "Muller, Andrea",
but Andrea Müller is listed as "Andrea, Müller"

If the Umlaut is in the first name, it sometimes works right, sometimes not:
Jörg Heidrich gets to "Heidrich, Jörg"
Jörg Wirtgen gehts to "Jörg, Wirtgen"

Maybe the UTF/ISO/whatever coding is different? How could I help?

btw: thanx for the great work!!

Greetings, Joerg
