[Bug 8889] New: Optionally compose Unicode characters when saving MARC record
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8889 Priority: P5 - low Change sponsored?: --- Bug ID: 8889 CC: frederic@tamil.fr Assignee: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl Summary: Optionally compose Unicode characters when saving MARC record Severity: enhancement Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl Hardware: All Status: ASSIGNED Version: master Component: I18N/L10N Product: Koha Conversion from MARC8 to UTF8 (in e.g. Z3950 search) converts a lot of accented characters to the Unicode decomposed form of [letter without accent][accent only] in Unicode. Most characters originating from the Latin1 character set are not displayed properly in various browsers (in that decomposed form). When we convert to the composed form, these characters are mapped to one unicode character with accent. Presentation improves in various browsers. This patch adds a syspref making this optional behavior. It makes the needed changes in ModBiblioMarc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8889 --- Comment #1 from Jared Camins-Esakov <jcamins@cpbibliography.com> --- I am not sure this should be optional. NFC is required by Zebra, and in theory ModZebra was already patched to force NFC a couple of years ago (though this was apparently unsuccessful). I would be comfortable with forcing NFC all the time, because anyone who disables the NFC composition would end up with a system that had both display and searching issues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I now think that we probably only need to call SetUTF8Flag without second parameter more in one or two places. This function normalizes to NFC. Only some export scripts send out NFD. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It would be great if that could be corrected automatically. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
