I’m a French user of the Sansa Fuze, and I’m quite happy with it. However, I’ve noticed that the Fuze uses ISO-8859-1 encoding, and not UTF-8. This may not matter for English speaking people, but can be of importance for others!
ISO-8859-1 does not recognize every character used in French. For instance, “œ” is missing. It’s not the most frequent character, but it’s used in “cœur”, which means “heart”. On the fuze, I get “c“ur” instead.
Is it possible for the UTF-8 encoding to appear in next firmwar?
drlucky was referring to the American or European firmware version. It appears though, that you are using the correct and latest f/w (European with FM radio) for the FUZE.
I know cross-posting may be a “faux paux” (and that, I’m afraid is just about the limit of my French language skills :wink: ), but I sometimes question whether anyone form SanDisk ever even looks at this board. Nobody ever responds or acknowledges posts here, so it’s impossible to know. I would also post this problem/situation on the FUZE board, as I know that it & the CLIP board are frequented regularly by at least 1 SanDisk person, and they DO communicate with posters.
Obviously, you want your unit to display your native language correctly, as we all do. I don’t believe this is an un-reasonable request.
