I develop under Solaris 9 and then burn my application onto a multi-platform CD (Unix/Win/Mac). It is only when I run the application under Solaris that the umlauts appear as the '?' character. On all other platforms the characters are correctly displayed. All platforms are running Java 1.3.1. Two questions :- 1) Has anyone any experience with such behaviour ? (Apologies for the non-lucene content) 2) How to search on text containing umlauts ? At the moment a search on "j�rgen" returns no hits, but a search on "rgen" will return posts by user J�rgen.
