Comment 2 thierry rouillon 2015-05-31 23:51:25 CEST
Yes it's present in the latest version.
And more: 
Message:"erroropening device: error during device I/O"

It's correct with xsane.

We have reported this bug upstream.
https://sourceforge.net/p/gscan2pdf/bugs/230/
But it seems that the bug comes from or libs.

"I found something in our "perl-Locale-gettext" package:

http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/perl-Locale-gettext/current/SOURCES/gettext-1.05-SvUTF8_on-on-strings-when-bind_textdomain_codeset-utf8.patch?revision=389214&view=markup

If I remove this patch so gscan2pdf displays properly accented characters but we can't remove this patch as we need it for some other packages like "urpmi"."

Comment 5 David GEIGER 2016-11-17 16:08:58 CET
Assigning to QA,


Advisory:
=============================
Some users reported that our current gscan2pdf package does not
displays properly the accented characters due to an UTF-8 issue
(e.g. for French users), so this update fixes this issue and also
updates gscan2pdf to a version which is supported upstream.

Upstream bug reference:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gscan2pdf/bugs/230/

=============================


Packages in 5/core/updates_testing:
========================
gscan2pdf-1.5.5-1.1.mga5.noarch.rpm

Comment 6 Pana Sum 2016-11-17 19:57:44 CET
Tested in a 64 bits Mageia 5 installation on real hardware.

I installed the previous version and I saw the glitches.

Updated to gscan2pdf-1.5.5-1.1.mga5 and the glitches are gone. However I do not have a scanner device, so I cannot test if the program scans.

Comment 7 Herman Viaene 2016-11-18 15:47:09 CET
MGA5-32 on AcerD620 Xfce in Dutch
No installation issues.
After fiddling with remote access to the scanner (Epson Prefection Photo 2400) on the desktop PC, I got gscan2pdf to scan a document and save the result as PDF.
So combined with Comment 6, this should be OK

Comment 8 papoteur 2016-11-18 19:22:54 CET
MGA5-64 in French
previous release was installed and suffers the glitches.
After installing the new version, texts are displayed fine :)
I can scan an image from webcam.
My scanner is not in the list, but this is another story.
Thus, I give a go.
