Hello Tom,
I will try tomorrow your examples for charset . The variable "qsHtml" is 
an QString and I'am using the kdevelop python pretty printers on eclipse 
cdt 
(http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/sdk/kdevelop/debuggers/gdb/printers/).
"std::string" and "const char*" has the same problem with special 
characters. It doesn't matter if I use python pretty printer or not.

best regards
