http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11121 Bug ID: 11121 Summary: Patron Card Creator batch export cannot handle special characters (usually) Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 3.12 Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: trivial Priority: P5 - low Component: Tools Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Reporter: vincent_muyo@yahoo.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Exporting a batch with special characters ( e g é, å, ä, ö) for patron posts <firstname> and <surname> will cause them to be corrupted in the exported pdf - é becomes é, å becomes Ä¥ and ö becomes ö, for example. However, this doesn't always happen - _usually_ the first page comes out correctly (but not with things already incorrect). Everything (apache2, MySQL, linux locale) is set to UTF-8, and label creator works flawlessly with these symbols. Going off an installation of the 3.12 liveDVD 3.12 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kohalivedvd/) in Xubuntu. Guessing the exporter uses a different standard, e g ANSI, which corrupts the text - but this is pure guesswork. :) Extra information about the setup: Template is for an A4 page, SI Centimeters, 29.7x21. Cards 7.7x4.8, Margins 2x2. 2 columns, 4 rows, gaps 0.5cm each. Layout is layouted for front with guidebox on. It uses postscript points. Text fields Field 1 houses: the bug-related information <firstname> <surname>, font Helvetica size 12, alignment center, X: 20 Y: 100. Barcode number is printed, Code 39 (generated automatically in provided Katipo style), X:20, Y: 40 Koha 3.12.05.000 OS version ('uname -a'): Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-55-generic #85-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 2 13:43:27 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Perl interpreter: /usr/bin/perl Perl version: 5.014002 Perl @INC: /usr/share/koha/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .
