Hi Riccardo

The Win XP where I tested my application has the standard configuration, i.e. English language.
I  can do the test in a spanish installation too. I will do it and comment the results later.

Bye. German.

I noticed also that on windows, metakit needs utf8 file names. But did not test on other plateforms.I supposed all plateforms need utf8 ? Anyway I rather changed my code to give utf8 to metakit. Any precision would be appreciated. Thanks Tecnonucleo wrote:

Hello all I've used Metakit for a while, and recently I had some issues with file names containing accent characters, like á or é. It only occurs in Windows XP. In Linux all works ok. But in Windows, when the file name had latin accent characters, Metakit suppress them and thus it tried to open a non existing file. I debug into Metakit source code and I found that the character missing happened in this line: MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, fname_, - 1, wName, MAX_PATH); I'm not an expert in Win32 API, but after some googling I decided to change the CP_UTF8 parameter for CP_ACP. And then all began to work ok as in Linux. The new version of the previous line now looks like that: MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, fname_, - 1, wName, MAX_PATH); I'm not sure if it make sense to change the Metakit sources that way, but in any case I want to share this issue and maybe get some feedback about the patch I applied. Greetings, German
