martin.norback at safelogic Mar 21, 2002, 2:46 PM Views: 49 Permalink UTF-8 bug in gpa GPA doesn't take into account the fact that user names are supposed to be in UTF-8 format. Since gpg uses UTF-8, user names produced using the gpg text interface will look strange in the gpa gui. More seriously, user names produced by the gui will not be valid UTF-8, and will therefore be illegal. The fix is to convert from UTF-8 to the system charset when displaying names (perhaps display a ? if conversion is impossible), and to convert from the system charset to UTF-8 when generating new keys (should always be possible).
