Geman Umlaute

I didn’t see any problems with Umlaute. Do you using the latest stable wordpress version (1.0.1)?
Normally wordpress converts the umlaute into utf8 characters. The “MA1/4ller” may result of the version of your browser. So the next question is what browser you are using?

Thank you for your answer! Oh, it seems, it was a problem of the night-slip 2004-03-08-version. Now I use 1.0.1 and all things works fine!

I’m getting the same Problem.
It seems the stuff I put into the Post-Field gets converted to UTF8 before inserting it into the DB. I can’t find the position where this takes place. I’d really like to diable this, since it makes my texts really ugly, even in up-to-date Browsers.
Any hints?

I fixed it:
The reason for all this hassle was WP1.2 using UTF-8 for everything. My old entries from 0.72 were still Latin-1, so was my text-encoding index.php. I changed it to UTF-8. The new entries looked fine old but the old ones did not.
I wrote a little plugin to convert entries (Umlauts) from Latin1 to UTF-8, that fixed it for me.

Ok
For this and the 2 other bugs I discovered yesterday, I’ve put up a page with details and fixes which can be reached here:
