[kde-linux] Character encoding problem in KDE (from Hellmut Weber)

[LM-pro--]

Hello everyone,

Yes, Herr Weber, I easily believe that you have very similar problems as 
I have... (I speak and write German myself as you may have guessed, and 
have problems with files with German names; and also with the 
transcription of some file _contents_ - but the latter might be another 
problem altogether...).

What I wanted to ask you now is what you mean by "Sticking with 
ASCII-127". Do you mean that I have to select a certain character set 
somewhere in KDE (configuration center or elsewhere) or even in Debian 
(if you use it, that is) or should I simply avoid using certain 
characters (like "ü" or  I actually have consistently avoided blanks - I 
use underscores) or do I have to change my keyboard?

I might try the suggestion of alainm (kde-linux Digest, Vol 54, Issue 
10) at some stage.

Thanks for your answer
