Your problem is related to encoding. You should pass properly encoded strings 
to QString(). For example: my sources are all encoded in UTF-8 so when I have 
to put national characters I use QString::fromUtf8("ÅÃÄÅÄÅ") function...

You can also use QTextCodec - see Qt documentation for details.

Yes, the French indeed speak some weird language, so you need to install 
the FrenchFont(tm)(R) package ;)

No seriously, your problem indeed seems to be related to some missing 
fonts on your Linux box. For example gedit is /not/ based on Qt (but on 
GTK IIRC), so if not even gedit is able to display e.g. éàçô (all 
characters with weird lines on top and snails on the bottom ;) then your 
installed fonts simply don't provide these characters - which seems very 
strange, because most (if not all) latin 1 based fonts support them.

What about your email client on Linux (obviously KMail)? Is it able to 
display the above text correctly? This would indicate that it is not 
(purely) a missing font issue but maybe the font paths are (somehow) set 
differently for different applications...


Good luck, Oliver
