When showing messages with iso-8859-15 chars (for example the euro), knews
seems to have problems showing it correctly. Usually it shows just a empty
box char.

will do if it's on a newsgroup with worldwide propagation.

Thanks,

Thanks, I'll have a look at this.

Ok, look at this message-id:

<3C52E8C8.8040600@wirmer.de>

It's in de.rec.fotografie, but it should be available via google. It includes
the following headers:

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

So it should load an iso-8859-15 font. But instead it complains:

[knews: no font for charset 'iso-8859-15'.]

iso-8859-15-Fonts are installed, my system is set up with euro-support and
language-env. So it should be able to decode the article. (the named article
btw. shouldn't have iso-8859-15, because it actually doesn't use the EUR sign).

Oh, and the Subject:

Subject: Re: =?iso-8859-15?Q?Fotob=F6rse?= in =?iso-8859-15?Q?K=F6ln?=

isn't decoded, too. Although it looks quite right to me. Looks like knews just
doesn't know about existance of iso-8859-15.
