Recently updated to FCKeditor 2 RC2 from 1.6, and everything is up and running well... except for one thing.
The problem is it strips all the accents from the text that I type. It happens regardless of whether I do it in the source or not.
Any ideas what I could do to fix it?
XHTML is disabled, and I'm using fckeditor.asp. It happens when I use both Firefox and IE6, and I'm running WinXP. I haven't changed anything else, to my knowledge, except some File Browser stuff.
thanks

RE: Editor stripping accents from text
I was nearly asleep when I posted this, just wanted to clarify -- it's not stripping only the accents, but the entire character that uses the accent. For example:
Srie littraire
would become
Srie littraire.
Looking over the old documents that were edited with 1.6, it would always change accents to "é" and such... but it's not doing that in RC2.
Any help is much appreciated
RE: Editor stripping accents from text
Hmn, dont know if this is exactly what your looking for but we have taken the view that all markup is run through a post parser for anomilies.
We assume that upgrades to FCKEditor are unpredictable, and we want to be confident that upgrades wont destroy current markup, so we write correction code for this type of thing in our post parser (ie at the point of saving once the editor has done its thing).
Our problems tend to be with embedded script or script as text. We also ensure that ISO 8859-1 symbol and character entities (plus some others) are supported regardless of what FCKEditor does to them.
Probably not quite the answer your looking for but well worth considering as a means to support your markup over time
