export csv in hebrew won't work.. [message #119428]

hi..

i've been trying to use BIRT and had noticed 2 things.

1. trying to export a csv file will result in a file that has unicode
chars, excel can't read these in hebrew.

2. if i try to print the file i only get a portion of the report and upper
menu along with some scroll bars.

since both these issues are related to the report , i'm asking MUST i
build my own, (if so how?) or can i use this one in production?

We currently choose to export data in unicode csv format. Excel 2000 does
not handle this. You may consider download some character converting macro
to display it.

i'm talking about excel xp, double clicking on the csv file gives me
gibbirsh.
only way it to open notepad copy the entire contents and paste it to a new
notepad.

are you saying that in excel xp accepts utf-8?

I am not sure about excel xp. But I guess excel has this issue in general.

which kinda defeats the the point of having an excel output in my case,
know of any utils for that thing?

couldn't you allow in the servlet config a paramter for configuring
encoding output?

There are quite a few discussion on the Internet.
