This confirms my original suspicion; your file is almost certainly in either ISO8859-1 or Windows-1252. The accented characters are being misread, as Ruby's default value (or maybe Rails?) is $KCODE = 'u'. So the accented letters are interpreted as the first character of a 3- byte UTF-8 sequence.
You might want to try passing the :encoding => 'n' option to FasterCSV and see what that does; getting Windows-1252 characters to display correctly on other platforms is left as an exercise.. :) --Matt Jones On Jun 21, 7:52 pm, Hu Ma <rails-mailing-l...@andreas-s.net> wrote: > Hello all, > > I've update to Rails 2.3.2 and the problem remains. > I've also created a new application, and added just one controller > and FasterCSV to environment.rb (no other plugins are present in the > application) but still it does not work. > > I already said here that the error only happens in rails.
