      TID: FMail-lnx64 2.2.1.1       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0100       CHRS: CP850 2       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20240306       MSGID: 2:280/464 65ec8a14       REPLY: 2:280/464 65eac66c       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.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.2.1.1        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 15/0 18/200 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 128/260 129/305 135/225 153/757 7715 154/10 30 203/0       SEEN-BY: 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700 720 840 860 870 880 930 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 400 426 428 470       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66       SEEN-BY: 341/234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 467/888 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 5020/400       PATH: 280/464 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
