   Hi Vitaliy,   
      
   On 2024-03-08 09:02:51, I wrote to you:   
      
    VA>> OK. Your terminal works in IBM850, but you run golded may try to run   
    VA>> in UTF-8. That won't work and it worked before just because golded   
    VA>> was not initializing correctly!   
      
    WvV> Ok, so how do I fix it? ;)   
      
   Yesterday I did some experimenting with the latest golded (commit: "call   
   setlocale() before initscr() (#86)"), trying different ways to start golded   
   and different golded xlat configurations. I found 2 setups that work for me,   
   so the messages with pseudo graphics in the STATS area look ok:   
      
   My golded.cfg for both:   
      
   include charsets.cfg   
      
   XLATIMPORT CP437   
   XLATLOCALSET CP850   
   XLATEXPORT CP850   
      
      
   And starting golded in a local Konsole terminal "TERM=xterm" with the default   
   charset set to utf-8:   
      
   # sudo -u fido LANG=en_EN.CP850 luit -encoding 'CP850' /usr/local/bin/golded -f   
      
      
   And in the same kind of terminal but with the default charset set to cp850,   
   this one works:   
      
   # sudo -u fido LANG=en_US.CP850 /usr/local/bin/golded -f   
      
      
   I will still have to test these in a putty terminal later during the coming   
   week.   
      
   And messages which have utf-8 characters, like the ones from Michiel in the   
   UTF area, don't display properly (of course).   
   I did try adding:   
      
   XLATCHARSET UTF-8 CP850 utf8_850.chs   
      
   But that didn't help. Of course only a small subset of utf-8 characters can be   
   displayed with cp850...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
