How to display Spanish characters? Re:

[Andres Londoño]

Hi:

Thats exactly my problem:

But I dont have enough knowledge about using language settings in Linux.

I had to recompile wxX11-2.8.4 disabling Unicode, because my app didn't 
compile. And It was hard to adding wxT() functions for each sentence.  :S

Any advice?

Have you got the the encodings right in the database communication?
Does the database driver have an option where you can set the encoding?
Does the database server?

If ñ, á, é is shown as ñ, á, é it's because the db sends utf-8
and the app interprets it as latin-1. There is also the possibility that
the db was created using some obscure dos codepage...

What happens if your app writes "Olé" to the db and
reads it back and displays it?

What happens if you use the wide char (unicode) build of wxWidgets?
