Swedish characters not displaying

Open veke71 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

When I use JAMF School and sent a message through a bash script, all the swedish characters ÅÄÖ comes up with a ?-mark on the client side. Is this something to do with dialog or is it something else? It works fine when I run it on a client directly.

what version and how are you launching the dialog?

If swiftDialog is launched as root instead of the user, user preferences such as language and highlight colour are not captured. swiftDialog 2.3 or newer should handle this for you if you use /usr/local/bin/dialog

JAMF school runs them as root. It works fine if I run them directly on a client. I’ll see if I can work around it with your tips. Thanks !

closing as wontfix - the issue only appears when running the script from jamf school, not directly so the issue is somewhere in the command chain, not with swiftDialog itself
