TreoCentral.com - View Single Post - Anyone synched Treo 650 with MacBook Pro?

I have recently upgraded from Missing Sync 5.0 to 5.1, at the same time as moving to the Intel-based MacBook. I use the Palm conduits from version 4.2.1 or the Palm Desktop/HotSync installer.

I have found that in the synching ('Macintosh overwrites handheld') process various characters are not mapped properly from Palm Desktop 4.2.1 to the Treo 650 (running PalmOS 1.09), eg:

-- A bullet (?) become a Yen symbol (¥)
-- A foot symbol (') becomes a cap 'O' with a tilde (Õ)

Also returns are lost/mapped to a character that doesn't exist in the PalmOS font set.

I am wondering if the problem may be related to some aspect of character mapping on the MacOS site, perhaps controlled via the International Preference Pane, though I have not been able to find a configuration that works.
