To be honest, the main reason I wrote manage-contacts.py was to be able to edit contacts on my main computer :-) I'm frightened enough by the input method of the Freerunner, I don't even want to think about entering Unicode characters on it just yet. > Also, the resulting characters were not correctly displayed in my > case even though contacts import did not complain (any experience > here whether display of e.g. german umlaute works?) No umlaute here, but I do have some French accented letters such as é and è and aven one æ, and they display fine. I even tried typing my Japanese teacher's name in Japanese, but apparently there's no Japanese-capable font in OM2007.2 so far. While I'm at it: it might be interesting setting a proper locale name in /etc/profile, so contacts are sorted according properly. I did that with "export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8", so names starting with É sort among the names starting with E rather than at the very end. The backside of that is that agpsui tries to interpret gpsd's output as fr_FR, with its decimal separator set to a comma rather than a dot, and therefore wrong data comes out. But I suspect that's just a bug.
