Issue1744775

German umlaut not displayed correctly.

MacOS 10.4.10, Java 1.5.0_07

Strange.
Also on Windows XP the 'Umlaute' are not correctly displayed (using the 2.2rc1 build).
But, if I build it on my Windows system, they are displayed correctly.

The installer is relying on resource bundles:
  package org.python.util.install;
  import java.util.ListResourceBundle;
  public class TextConstants_de extends ListResourceBundle implements TextKeys {
      static final Object[][] contents = {
          { ACCEPT, "Ja, ich akzeptiere" }, // license
          { ADVANCED, "Für Fortgeschrittene" }, // global type, and so on ...

Charlie, could you please check if the file installer/src/java/org/python/util/install/TextConstants_de.java in your local repository differs from the one in the full_build_*/checkout directory? If yes, please send me both, if no, please send me one of them. I suspect that the 'Umlaute' were converted somewhere on the way between my checkin and your checkout. 

Thinking of a solution: would it be better to use unicode escapes instead of umlaute in the resource bundle ?
Thanks

uses unicode escape sequences instead of hard-coded special characters.
The risk for the latter to be converted either in SVN or on a build machine is way too high.

Waiting for verification (need a build on a machine which has a different encoding than mine).

http://jython.org/jython_installer-r3276.jar is a build with the hard-coded special characters from my machine.  The old installer had the broken characters in it for me, but this one looks fine.

It also looks fine on my machine.
Thanks very much for doing the build !
