TM T88V character encoding not correct for æ, ø, å

[lkcodk]

Hi Mike

When i print special characters like: æ + ø + å
It prints strange symbols.

I am printing from my windows from a epson TM T88V.
I am using one of your newst packages.

Interesting one. I would have expected TM T88V to work well, giving either "?" or the correct symbol.

I'll tag this as a bug.

Did you fix this error?

There's been no change related to this bug yet. I don't have a TM-T88V, so I can't replicate this, but quite a lot can be done without a printer in this case.

The first step is actually to verify that this occurs with the default printer profile, which we can then modifying it for the TM T88V, which would involve making a new profile.

If you're interested in progressing this, then take a look at the https://github.com/receipt-print-hq/escpos-printer-db project, which we get all our data from.

The result will be either "?" or the correct symbol, depending on whether æ + ø + å are supported on this printer.

I'll close this off, I've made an issue in the upstream escpos-printer-db repo, which is where this would need to be fixed.
