Truncator: encoding problems

[dl4pj]

Hi,

Truncator::truncateWords has problems truncating texts with german letters.
In short summaries '?' signs are shown instead of "äöü".
Long texts are displayed correctly.

I played around with the Truncator Source to find the source of the Problem.
htmlToDomDocument does not work correctly:
When I set $html = "äöü"; , the output in the Chrome-Browser are ?-signs.

The Problem exists in grave Versions 1.4.x and 1.5.

Thank you!

Seems that problem still exists in 1.7

Seems to be environment dependant. Works on share hoster A and not on B. Did not find the difference yet. But basically I could narrow down the issue to $html = mb_convert_encoding($html, 'HTML-ENTITIES', 'UTF-8'); For some reason umlauts get destroyed (sometimes)

PHP version? Maybe some library?

Many small differences starting with the OS (SunOS where it does not work vs. Linux).
Found a solution which at least worked for me. As I am not a developer somebody should review the change. Will commit it in a few second ;)

You likely mean Solaris as SunOS hasn't been updated for 25 years now. BTW, you can also fix this with php.ini setting, but yeah, we should pass the encoding to the method.
