[reportlab-users] Unicode character Eclipse IDE vs. MS VisualStudio 2012

[Tom Py]

Hi Robin,

in Eclipse IDE it works fine but in VS2012 I get an error for both ways:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython
2.7.2\lib\site-packages\reportlab\platypus\tables.py", line 562, in
_calc_height
  File "C:\Daten\reportlabTest\reportlabTest\reportlabTest.py", line 9, in
<module>
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython
2.7.2\lib\site-packages\reportlab\platypus\flowables.py", line 120, in
wrapOn
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython
2.7.2\lib\site-packages\reportlab\platypus\tables.py", line 1172, in wrap
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython
2.7.2\lib\site-packages\reportlab\platypus\tables.py", line 624, in _calc
UnicodeDecodeError: ('unknown', u'\xc3', 0, 1, '')Press any key to continue
. . .


Any idea?

Tom
