GT MOD / Special chars and phpwcms 1.3.3

Post by strandel »

Hello

I just installed a from source phpwcms 1.3.3. So far everythink works fine EXCEPT GT Mod.
I uploaded a TrueType font and the preview can be seen nicely in the backend. I can also insert {GT:name}sample{/GT} which works fine.

BUT ....
When I use special chars like germen äöü or french éà etc. they won't be shown and instead a "square" is displayed at the correspondent position. When I use a contentpart like wysiwyg I can perfectly use special chars and they are shown correctly.
What might be the problem? I tried to solve the problem and invested 6 hours..... but no luck.

Server spec.
Linux Suse 10.1, Apache 2, PHP 5.1.2, GD Version 2.0.28, FreeType Support enabled, Free Type Linkage with freetype, Ghostscript etc.
MySQL 5.0.18

conf.inc
$phpwcms['db_charset'] = 'utf8';
$phpwcms['db_collation'] = 'utf8_general_ci';
$phpwcms['db_version'] = 50018;
$phpwcms['imagick'] = 0;
$phpwcms['use_gd2'] = 1; //0 = GD1, 1 = GD2
$phpwcms['gt_mod'] = 1;
$phpwcms['allow_ext_init'] = 1;
$phpwcms['allow_ext_render'] = 1


Any help is very much appreciated.
Regards Hans

Hello,
this is because you use a font where no german letters are included. Try another font!
