Export working bad

[nico202]

Hi, I am not able to export my text to pdf (a 0 byte file get created), nor to print it.
Another thing that happen, is the wrong html encoding (apostophed letters like òàèù are shown like: è)
Thanks, Nicolò
Edit: I'm on elementary OS

i am unable to reproduce it on my system, can you may be record a small screen cast of what steps you go through/text you enter so i may be able to reproduce it here and fix it.

Pdf export: http://www.screencast.com/t/6PfloQsDu2 (0byte file)
Print to file: http://www.screencast.com/t/d1RduHZ26E (not even created. Evince, for exaple, do work)

I found and fixed the export to file bug but couldn't reproduce the export to pdf bug, still changed the way pdf export worked, please try again.

if you are using it from the ppa, it might take a few hours to get to it otherwise build from source.

I compiled it manually. Print is still now working. After trying to print, I don't get anymore the text preview, and I got a crash report: http://postimg.org/image/3o3nc9r0p/ http://postimg.org/image/lh88pwp05/
Edit: the preview is missing only until next text edit

that is very weird,

• are you using translations?
• can you run mmw from terminal using the commands

$ gdb mark-my-words
$ run

then type some text, press the print button and when the program crashes, in the terminal type
bt and paste the output of the whole thing here.

It is not the mmw itself to crash, as seen in the screenshot, I think it is
just the printing process. So, no backtrace
Edit: Yes, It's localized in italian

@emersion you are using a translated version too, right? i think the "Print Dialog" text is getting translated incorrectly or something because it works perfectly on my system

[emersion]

@voldyman I was using a translation for my desktop, but now I've switched to English. I'll try on other computers I have in French and with elementary OS.

I couldn't find a similar issue anywhere else, it is prolly due to dgettext("gtk30", ...

I have the same error. Can't export to PDF, 0 byte file.
Have Version 0.7.
Debian Testing, no Error Msg and no Crash.
Try in terminal with gdb.
