unicode support for thunderbird address book
Alright,
I got a thunderbird problem.
I installed Chinese Outlook and exported my contacts into a CSV file.
Now what I did was to convert the file(which was in GB18030 code) to Unicode UTF8
After importing the CSV file to Thunderbird it shows me squares and stuff, obviously Thunderbird doesnt have the fonts.
Next step was to create a contact in my thunderbird address book with chinese characters.
No problem. It displays it correctly.
Now I exported my address book into a ldif file.
After opening it with Gedit my name which is 苏和盛
appears this way: Y2495ZKM55ubIOi
So I think I have two ways of solving this problem.
1. Installing the right fonts for thunderbird( I dont know how)
2. to change all chinese characters into something like Y2495ZKM55ubIOi
hehe
any clue?
