Swedish letters i nfo-files?

[Zee]

Was wondering if there is any way to get the swedish letters Å Ä Ö to show in nfo-files. I have the boxee on swedish lang but when I have å, ä or ö in a nfo-file the boxee just erase that letter. I can ofcourse use a, a and o as I do now, but it would be great if I could use the real letters...

I have no problem at all with Å Ä and Ö in my nfos..

Yes, just make sure the file is being saved in UTF-8 format. If you're already doing that, please post what editor you're using to create and edit your NFO files.

Ok. guess thats whats causing the problem. I just use wordpad and save as .nfo .. how do I save in utf-8 format? Do I need a special program for that? tried searching but didt get hand of it...

I'm not sure how it's done in wordpad (if at all), but there probably is some setting for it.
Nearly all modern editors have the capability to use different text encodings.

I mostly use UltraEdit myself, though I sometimes use the simple Windows 'Notepad' as well, and in both these editors you can choose the text encoding/format in an entry field of the file selector used after giving the "Save As..." command. (That field appears below the fields for "File name:" and the filetype filter.)

If the help documentation for Wordpad doesn't indicate how to do it (you did search the documentation for utf-8 right?), try using notepad++ as it definitely has an encoding setting with utf-8 as an option.

Ok. Thx. Notepad worked great!
