Description
Term names that start with characters other than letters from the modern Latin alphabet (a-z without accents) or numbers break break alphabetical lists. I have committed a partial solution; A lot of special characters are now possible due to character transliteration to the modern Latin alphabet using the same i18n-ascii.txt file Pathauto uses (Please make sure to set character encoding to UTF-8 when viewing this file or all you'll see is some character rubbish).
A more extensive fix for this problem is still being thought about.
#1
The pager for alphabetical indices was also having trouble with this. Since PHP does not yet support sorting unicode characters you would get a pager with the following letters in this exact order: E, S, T, É, ß. I have now fixed this by using a customised sorting method. The previously mentioned sequence will now be displayed as E, É, S, ß, T, for instance.
#2
No more problems, so it's fixed.
#3
Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity.
