Excellent :-) And thanks to Hugo for providing the RPMs and helping out

Err, OK. Raphael, any ideas on that one?

Makes me think to an UTF-8 issue, isn't it?

I'm currently building debian packages and will try to upload them
tonight. Can you precise a bit please? Which menu? All menus?
All special char? éèëê and so on?
Which locale are you using?

I have done an inventory.

It seems that only tabs are wrong (tabs in main window, tabs in dialog
boxes...).
Elsewhere (menus, items of dialogboxes...) the french specific
caracteres are successfully displayed.

Patrice.

Hi Patrice, nice to meet you ;)
Where are you living in France?

mmmh I can't reproduce this (or maybe I did not understand the problem).
Can you provide a screenshot?
Here is how it looks like under a Debian/testing host with locale
fr_FR(dot)UTF-8(at)euro:

I send it to you in private email, I don't know if attachments are
allowed on this mailing list.

Dear all,

it seems that the list is back online ;) Let's try to move on.

Concerning this particular problem, it seems I was right thinking to an
UTF-8/non UTF-8 problem:

In fact, Patrice has the following locales under MDK:
LANG=fr_FR
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR
LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR
LC_TIME=fr_FR
LC_COLLATE=fr_FR
LC_MONETARY=fr_FR
LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR
LC_PAPER=fr_FR
LC_NAME=fr_FR
LC_ADRESS=fr_FR
LC_TELEPHONE=fr_FR
LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR
LC_INDENTIFICATION=fr_FR
LC_ALL=

Positionning locales correctly to UTF-8 ones corrects the behaviour of pga3:
$ export LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8
$ pgadmin3 -------> IS OK :)

I don't know well MDK and have no free time at the moment for searching
a good and definitive solution to force the whole desktop to use UTF-8.
If there are any Mandrake wizard on the list that would be cool to help
Patrice moving to UTF-8.

What I don't really understand (did not investigate deeply):
a) I tried putting locales to fr_FR (in a shell, not the whole Desktop)
on my Debian and launching pga3 is ok.
b) Anyway that pga3 detects non UTF-8 locales and try to force using the
corresponding UTF-8 one and revert to a non unicode if it does not find it?

Last but not least, Patrice suggested that we update the download page
to reflect the MDK version we "support". I'll provide a patch as soon as
possible (I really lack free time at the moment) but I can't find any
MDK version in the release ftp dir. IIRC Jean-Michel used to provide them.
@Jean-Michel: are you planning to deliver packages for MDK or shall
someone else take care of them?

Raphaël

And thanks for everybody for your help ;)
