Upgrading to 1.4.16 makes Character encoding mess up Danish characters

[lpa]

In Denmark we have the three special letters Æ, Ø and Å. After I upgraded to 1.4.16 and chose UTF-8, they are not shown anymore in the old galleries. Instead of one of the three letters I get a "�".

I tried running the charsetmgr.php (read that in another topic) But both "Convert from" and "to" were already utf-8, so thats not the problem. Could it have anything to do with my MySQL setting?

Changing the encoding after having content in your database is alwaysw problematic. You shouldn't have started using another encoding than utf-8 in the first place. Are you sure that the conversion from iso8859-1 to utf-8 has been successfull? Post a link to your gallery for a start.

Well, I wasn't aware it could be a problem before, see 

www.farumkyokushin.dk see the block in right side of front page. It's a Postnuke site and I use pnCPG 4.01, and there are also problems with characters after the upgrade. I guess it must be the same problem.

Sorry, but I changed all the wrong characters in Coppermine manually, turned out there was only 20-25 of them. All the filenames containing the Danish character still are wrong though.   But don't you think the pnCPG problem on the frontpage derrives from the same origin?

It's not surprising that utf-8 encoded content taken from coppermine displays broken on your iso8859-1 powered postnuke block.

Displays as expected for me.

Yes it does now, after I changed all albums manually. Many file names are still wrong, but that has less consequence. And the pnCPG also shows the albums wrong in PN, but I have to talk with Cas about that, I guess?
