I just gave 1.2.2 a try last night and I am still having the same problems with Icelandic characters.

I still get

    is this still being worked on or is it supposed to be fixed in the 1.2.2?

    I believe we did not work on that recently, there were a few other things to fix. If there already isn't please open a ticket.

    Yeah I have been having problems with this since, hmm.. well dont really know...

    I am using zenphoto version 1.0.8 on my own site.. and zenphoto version 1.1.3 for few others... they all have a working charset with Icelandic letters.

    So... this problem has been for a very long time and I have talked about it many times, and never really gotten answers if this will be fixed... I can gladly give you a photo that has these characters to try out.

    As for a long time ZenPhoto has been unusable to me, because of this problem... I know charsets are a pain in the b*** and I have never understood why companies could not just settle for 1... that is UTF-8

    I am hoping for a fix soon, as I am myself completely empty on the matter as it is now.

    Sorry for this inconvenience but. I am myself absolutly not an expert on this encoding stuff and just glad that my German umlauts do work properly. We believe we did a lot improvements before the last release. But if there is still a issue we of course will try to look after it.

    Please open a ticket and attach a photo with icelandic chars to it (maybe as a .zip) and maybe even with EXIF data in icelandic. We will try to reproduce the problem then.

    If these problems are in EXIF data, the current nightly build may be the solution. There you can set the internal character set assumed for EXIF data.

    Hello.
    I'd also had broken characters since updating to 1.2.1. Was hoping that 1.2.2 would fix it, but it didn't. During the update, I got the message about the mbstring package. Just to try it out, decided to change the setting `$conf['UTF-8'] = false;` in zp_config.php file to FALSE (it was set to TRUE) - and viola, everything started rendering properly.

    This would be an indicateion that the information in your database is not stored in UTF-8.

    Ahhhhhh... There we go... just gave it a quick test and it works like a charm... Thanks Sbillard... Evan at UTF-8 it works like a charm....Smiling in a circle here.
