Applications don't display correct filenames with special charactars

Hi,
my problem is that some applications does not display correct filenames which have special characters in their names, like accentuated Hungarian or Romanian characters, @, etc.
This behavior is specific for all QT/KDE apps, tilda, xfce4-terminal, mc, however thunar, gedit and I presuppose all gtk apps does show the names correctly.
I figured out that there should be some locals config issue, maybe I need to set it Unicode, but I don't know how and surprisingly there is no wiki page about it, this is why I asked for your help.

I use the same font family (droid) in all my applications, in KDE, in Xfce, and use droid monospace in terminals ( xfce4-terminal and konsole ). While krusader an dolphin shows "á" and mc opened in Terminal shows ?? in place of "á", thunar and ls ( the bash command ) display those filenames correctly.
There are two possibilities, that I think:
1. The filenames are not converted to utf8 - i think they are, because there are 2 wrong characters showed instead of one, and some of my apps does show the filenames correctly
2. GTK apps and mc does not handle utf8 correctly. I had this filenames issue with kde4 in any distribution I used ( openSUSE, Kubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian ), but in mc only in Archlinux.
    So i think there is a configuration issue.

  • Application is not displaying correctly and is showing as incomplete

    please i really need help i am not understanding this at all i need to send them as pdf files because there application forms I have an issue when it comes to sending the pdf files to someone else and they open the file to then tell me that the text on your application is not displaying correctly and is showing as incomplete.
    how do i fix that, they are opening it up using adobe 11 the same as I.

    Hey Robert,
    Please let me know what OS are you using and ensure whether you are using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to view PDF files.
    Also, tell me whether the recipient downloads the file first and then open in Reader or opens it in the browser only.
    Please clarify to me whether you are getting this error pop-up or the recipient?
    Hope to get your response.

  • LaTeX brackets don't display correctly (jsMath)

    I'm currently working with OLAT (a java based web application to manage lectures) and try to write some text containing LaTeX code inside (there is a html text editor which allows the use of LaTeX formulas via jsMath). When I try to display large brackets around a vector (with more than two rows), schematically :
    <pre><nowiki>\begin{pmatrix}
    x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3
    \end{pmatrix}</nowiki></pre>
    , the brackets aren't visible and there are some symbols instead (look at the screenshots). For shorter vectors (up to two rows), the problem doesn't appear.
    Note that I encounter this problem on Firefox 27.0.1, both on Linux (Kubuntu 13.10) and Windows (7), but for instance not with other browsers (chromium, rekonq, etc.). Interestingly, someone tried this on a 27.0.01 version of Firefox under Archlinux, and the large brackets seems to be displayed correctly. It also seems to be working on Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11.

    Well, the page inspector seemed indeed to indicate that those specific jsMath fonts were required... and it solves the problem ! Shame on me not to have checked that additional point... And thank you for your help !
    So for anyone encountering the same problem, you just have to install the missing jsMath fonts available here :
    http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsmath/download/jsmath-fonts.html
    However, there's still something that I don't quite understand : without the jsMath fonts installed on my OS, the page displayed correctly within some other browsers running on the same machine, is there a particular explanation or does Firefox work in a different way when it comes to those font problematics ?

  • Photostream picture's don't display correctly on iphone

    When i push pictures previously taken with my iphone to my photostream, they won't display correctly when I want to view them on my iphone. It seems like the pictures are zoomed in all the way, and so only a small part of the picture is displayed. Does anyone know a fix for this, or how to prevent this? Only some pictures are displayed incorrectly. And they all seem to have been taken around the same time.
    Hope someone can help me out with this.

    These two folders have done this ever since I created them. I have deleted all bookmarks in Firefox and then reintroduced them all... Problem still persisted. I took the bookmarks out of the subfolders and deleted the subfolders. Bookmarks worked. I recreated the folders and added the bookmarks in, the problem still persisted.
    I have a 27" iMac. The bookmarks open to the right, then the subfolders, right again. But they function because of the extra real estate. On this notebook, they open right, then left... With the exception of these two subfolders. It is a conundrum!
    This issue actually drove me back to Safari. I like Firefox, but this is crazy!
    And, thanks for your help!

  • 32bpp application doesn`t display correctly or crashes when we remote via SCCM 2007 remotetool

    By default remotetool’s Color Depth is set to 16 bpp
    Daniel
    Synapse application is a PACS viewer used by radiology department in our hospital.
    Synapse is designed to run in 32 bpp, therefore when we remote to it, the picture is not dispayed.
    Instead it displays an error Your display is configured for 65536 colors. This mode is unsupported. Use 24 or 32 colour mode.
    As soon as we disconnect or end the remote session. The picture on users workstation 
    turns black. Synapse needs to be re-launched  in order to display properly again.
    Is there a way to set the Color Depth default  on remotetool to 24bbp ?
    When we close the remote session, Synapse crashes or doesn’t display any pictures, leaving them black.
    Here’s how the user would see it
    On the other hand if we pre-set the colour depth to 24bbp before opening Synapse. Everything is displayed correctly on both admin and the remote workstation, while in a remote session.

    Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up.
    To my knowledge there is no way to do this, however I would suggest looking at remote desktop instead of CM0-7 Remote control.

  • After Firefox 12, some fields in forms in our help desk application do not display correctly. They appear as horizontal scroll fields instead.

    We use a Help Desk system at work (BMC Remedy IT Service Management). In version 12 of Firefox, all fields are displayed correctly in the form. However, if I upgrade to any version greater than 12, some of the fields display as horizontal scroll fields (without showing the data in them). As such, I am forced to stay on version 12 for work.

    Found this is actually a problem with the BMC Remedy system in use (version 7.1). Here are details if anyone is interested: https://communities.bmc.com/communities/message/256456

  • Fonts don't display correctly

    I opened a site to make some updates, and several of my fonts are not displaying correctly in the Design window.  When I click on Preview the fonts are correctly displayed, but some graphics and text move position. Is anyone else having these problems?

    I followed the feedback provided at http://forums.adobe.com/message/6273605#6273605 and renamed the folders tk1 and tk2.  This seems to resolve the font rendering issue for Bebas Neue and Rosario, but the Preview page still does not match the Design page with 100% accuracy. 
    It is at least usable now to make edits. 

  • Adobe applications don't appear under "open with"

    When I control-click an AI file on my desktop, or some graphic, I do not see any Adobe applications like Illustrator and Photoshop as available options UNLESS those applications are already open. I end up having to dig deep under "Other" everytime to find the applications.  I don't have this problem with other applications.  This began when I installed CS5 recently. How do I get Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.. to appear under "Open With" automatically?  I have already tried to do an "always open with for all files of this type" but that does not get saved after I shut down. It always defaults back to preview.
    What is the remedy?  I would think solving the first problem bolded above should solve the second automatically.

    Have a look at this...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...
    Reset Launch Services...

    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Problem figuring out the encoding for filenames with special characters

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but this does seem like an OS issue.
    I brought in a lot of mp3 and m3u files from a Windows machine to my new Mac. Some of the mp3 files have accented characters in their names, and these names appear in the m3u files. But if I add the m3u file to iTunes, it fails to recognize these names and so I lose all the mp3's with special characters in their names.
    I tried to fix this by grabbing the files name in Python, but that didn't work either!
    Here's an example: the file's name is "Voilà l'été.mp3"
    The m3u files says "Voil\xe0 l'\xe9t\xe9.mp3" -- this doesn't work.
    From os.listdir(), I get Voila\xcc\x80 l'e\xcc\x81te\xcc\x81.mp3", but sticking it in an m3u files doesn't work either. (Note that here the characters are encoded as unaccented letter + two byte code for the accent).
    When I try these strings from python, e.g. doing os.stat(), they both work; but iTunes doesn't understand any of them!
    I'd appreciate any hints on how to enter these names in the m3u file so that iTunes can read it. Thanks!

    I know nothing about "m3u" files and how iTunes interprets the file names in them, but if it is not a relative/absolute path problem, then how about just putting the raw file names (not the ones with backslash escape) in m3u file? For example, just put
    Voilà l'été.mp3
    in m3u?
    As for Unicode encoding, HFS+ file system uses the "decomposed form" for accented characters. This means, as you write, à is hex "61 cc 80" in UTF-8, i.e., "a + COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT". The pre-composed form is hex "c3 a0". But my experience is that in most cases both pre-composed and decomosed forms work at the user level (not at the lowest file system level).

  • Macmail:  all new e-mails display the correct sender - but they don't display correct contents - they pick up contents from old e-mails.  Emails on Iphone are fine.

    I just opened-up my mac book air this morning and looked at my mac mail (which runs my g-mail account).  I saw that a couple of new e-mails had come in - the name of the sender was displayed correctly - but the contents of the e-mail were from old e-mails.  I checked my Iphone and the mails are all coming in fine.  I had loaded attachment tamer on last night (great attachment - Mac why can't you fix this oversight?) I wondered if this might be the problem and I have re-moved it and the problem is still there.
    Any thoughts?

    I apologize; I should have mentioned I already tried that, multiple times
    It's almost like, since the messages show a qty in the status bar, that their text has been changed to white, the background color. But when i use Search Messages to get at what's there, the text color is black as it should be.
    Any further comments welcomed.
    Thanks much

  • Bookmarks don't display correctly on a 13" MacBook Pro, some subfolders won't expand, Anybody have this issue? Thank you!

    I am using a 13" MacBook Pro, Mid-2012 with OS 10.9.3.
    A while back I created some sub-folders in several bookmark headings. Several of them do not expand when hovering over them. The bookmarks are displayed towards the right side of the screen, and the next tier or level should display towards the left. It does not. I have deleted and reinstalled the bookmarks several times. I have removed the subfolders, and the book marks work fine.
    All of the bookmarks display and work correctly on my 27" iMac.
    Is this a screen real estate issue? Is there a fix for this?
    Thank you!

    These two folders have done this ever since I created them. I have deleted all bookmarks in Firefox and then reintroduced them all... Problem still persisted. I took the bookmarks out of the subfolders and deleted the subfolders. Bookmarks worked. I recreated the folders and added the bookmarks in, the problem still persisted.

  • Bash script to trim all filenames with special characters recursively?

    Hi,
    I have a 30 GB directory full of data I recovered from a friend's laptop after her Windows XP crashed. I'd like to burn that data, but I can't, because many of the filenames contain weird characters (spaces, accents, things even worse that my XTerm displays as inverted question marks). So, mkisofs exits with an error.
    I'd like to clean that mess up, but it would take months to do that manually. Well, I only know a very little Bash, but I think this problem is already too heavy for my modest knowledge. Here's the problem:
    - check the contents of directory ~/backup recursively
    - find files whose filenames contain characters other than [A-Za-z0-9] and then maybe "-" and "_" and ".".
    - replace these characters either by an "_" or just erase them
    Now how would I translate that into a little Bash script?
    Cheers...

    Heyyyyy... nice idea

  • Change FB02 display. Documents with Special GL Posting

    Hello.
    I've been trying to modify FB02 layout in order to display BSEG-ZFBDT under the additional data section (below the line item information)
    The problem is that if I do an FB02 with a regular customer document that posted to the reconciliation account, everything displays perfectly, BUT if I do FB02 with a document that was entered using a Special GL indicator then I can not see this field.
    How can I change this set up? I have already checked OB32 and I see BSEG-ZFBDT has already been set to allow changes and I have also included a new option including a Transaction Type that corresponds to the Special GL indicator that is being used, but this is not working.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    try this it might be helpful to you
    go to FBL5N and select the document for which you want to change the base line date and double click on that item and now select the change button now you can change the base line date
    Please Check that and revert if it not helpful

  • Empty Finder folders don't display correctly in Mountain Lion

    Anyone else experienced this or have a solution?
    I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion last night (on a late 2010 MacBook Air). Everything went smoothly. But I have an irritating problem with Finder.
    When opening folders (from sidebar icons or from main window icons), if the folder contains documents or subfolders Finder displays the contents of the folder correctly.
    However if the folder is empty, Finder displays either the contents of the last folder that I looked at that did contain documents, or a strange jumbled mix of icons. These can be selected, but cannot be deleted, opened, viewed, etc.
    So, for example, if I open my Documents folder (which has a lot of things in it), Finder displays the contents correctly.
    If I then open my Downloads folder (which is empty), Finder either displays the contents of the Documents folder, or a strange mix of icons.
    Any suggestions? The only workaround I've found is to set the empty folders to a different type of view (e.g. the detailed list).

    I have a 2008 iMac and a 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. Neither machine has been hacked and neither machine has been modified from the way it came from the factor. The only thing my vanilla-flavored Macs have in common is Mountain Lion, which runs fine otherwise.
    If I create an empty folder and attempt to open it, the Finder window has the same contents but the title of the empty folder. At some point there is no way to get out of the empty folder (except by opening a new Finder window). If you are outside the empty folder, at some point it cannot be deselected or deleted. (It can be deleted in the Terminal with the rmdir command.) Restarting FInder doesn't seem to help. You can only remove the folder in the Terminal.
    If you create a new folder and immediately put something into it, it behaves normally, but if you remove that item from the folder, the weird behavior returns. If an empty folder has ever contained anything, you can't delete it in Terminal because it now contains a .DS_Store file. You can delete that file and then remove the foldler.
    If you create an empty folder on the desktop, it will behave as expected. If you move that empty folder to some other place without putting anything into it, it has the weird behavior in the new location.
    Some developer at Apple is really sweating bullets right now.
