Euro Symbol displaying as "€" when emailing invoice

[noelmul]

Euro Symbol displaying as "€" when emailing an invoice. Euro symbol displays fine when printing the exact same invoice. From trunk at revision 370.

I looked at the code and noticed that when I change this line in include/session.php from: if(!isset($sqlEncoding))

$sqlEncoding = "utf8";

to: if(!isset($sqlEncoding))

$sqlEncoding = "latin1";

then the pdf invoices that phpBMS email are correctly encoded - showing the euro symbol correctly everytime. This has the knock-on effect of the euro symbols not displaying correctly in any of the phpbms html pages i.e. anything other than the reports.

maybe phpbms can use tcpdf.sf.net to replace fpdf. fpdf lack support for utf-8

tcpdf is LGPL, and is not compatible with our modified BSD license.

I experience the same problem (Euro symbol is broken in PDFs which are mailed only). PDFs generated via Print-Button are displaying the correct € symbol. Tested on invoices and quotes only.

I went through the source code for hours but I cannot figure out the difference between emailing and generating PDFs via the print-button. Basically emailing reuses the same class. Could it be that base64 cannot handle the character or something like that?

It's possible. Can someone confirm this in v0.98?

We may need to make sure that the sql encoding is getting properly set when emailing
