Hello,

Please try this one: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=111359.msg374103#msg374103

Yes , at least for the cart, it worked.
But remember this has to be applyed to the category view product thumbnails title tooltip too.

Thanks!

Actually the fix described in
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=111359.msg374103#msg374103
only works for the cart.

When it comes to frontpage and category views, tooltips show squares on Japanese characters so it's a different encoding issue, and only tooltip related.
in virtuemart/templ/default_categories.php for eg.

echo $category->category_name
works fine
when
title="<?php echo $category->category_name  ?>"
in a A  tag shows squares on product title and category thumb rollovers.

I have no fix yet.

Hello,

In version 2.0.14 this was working (image title)?  I am thinking that is not related to vm2, the title should work fine ... works for me in 2.0.16. Do you use any 3rd party fonts? Do you have any custom template joomla or vm that uses javascript for the tooltips?
Any screenshot? Joomla Version? Database encoding?

Regards

Well I could verify this with default beez or atomic
with default vm2.0.16 views on j2.5.8

No 3rd party fonts, DB encoding is utf8_general_ci
This is on a Wamp setup.

Also if I add a french accent in the japanese name (as é) :
アイボリーのコートフックé
only the é shows ok.
