Hi Alex,
thanks for the advice. I don't know what did the trick but I think it's
the use of the right converting function in my grabber.
For the records:
- I changed all UTF8 entries in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to latin1
- I changed the grabber to insert UTF8 data
- I added a mb_convert_encoding call (yes, my grabber is PHP ;-))
If anyone is interested in more specific details, feel free to contact
me off-list.
