Printing UTF8 chars on whiteboard. Windows client problem
Hi all,
I've just installed Openmeetings on an Ubuntu host. Everything seems to be
working ok except for one issue when using a Windows client. I'm trying to
type in Greek multi-accented text which is part of standard UTF8. Although
everything works find when using a Linux (Ubuntu) client,
it doesn't seem to work with windows. It's not displaying properly and It
seems that the multiaccented symbols are not rendered correctly (rendered
as squares). I'm assuming it's got to do with the font used by Openmeetings
server but I can't really figure out how to solve it.
Thanks!
Vasilis

Maybe it is client issue?
does it reproducible on various machines/OSes/browsers?
in case of Windows can it be caused by regional settings for non-Unicode
programs?

Ok, I did change the locale but unfortunately it didn't make much
difference.
Does the default_export_font option play any role in that? And also what
should the contents of the var be?
i had a quick look through the logs but changing it doesn't seem to
generate any log events.
I've tried with a few different fonts but I didn't get any positive
results. Also It's weird that it's working for you Maxim.
Thanks,
Vasilis

My locale is set to en_GB.UTF-8.
I'll try changing it but I don't think it'll make much of a difference.
you example works for me :(
can you run the command "locale" on the server?
what is the output?
