Problem: Gcompris does not store correctly Greek letters in a file.

[Johnny Jazeix]

Hi,

ok, great to hear the fix is at least on the Store version :). I couldn't
manage to create a package with the latest version (some dll issues).
Yes, the issue I fixed was to properly encode at writing the file in utf-8.

Thank you for the investigation!

Johnny
