      TID: FMail-lnx64 2.3.0.1-B20240319       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0100       CHRS: CP850 2       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20240306       MSGID: 2:280/464 6601dbfe       REPLY: 1:104/117 6601c966       Hi Vitaliy,              On 2024-03-25 11:09:34, you wrote to me:               VA>>> This is exactly how I saw it on my computer, when was using        VA>>> pseudo-graphics with wrong or missing locale.        WvV>> The locale is there, so is it wrong?               VA> I have no idea. It looks correct. But output looks like ncurses uses       incorrect        VA> locale.              It seems so.               WvV>>>> It doesn't matter if I use luit or not, they are displayed the        WvV>>>> same. Also the ~A characters for messages with CHRS: CP437 in        WvV>>>> the german areas are still there.               VA> Remind me. Do you have XLAT conversion table from cp437 to cp850?              Yes.               VA>>> In some message I saw en_EN.CP850.               WvV>> The localdef command, created the directory with lowercase 'cp850'        WvV>> although I specified it with uppercase 'CP850'. It also shows it        WvV>> with        WvV>> lowercase 'cp' when locale -a is executed. So I switched to specifying        WvV>> it as lowercase in my golded start script. But case probably doesn't        WvV>> matter.               VA> No, I mean that i saw you using en_*EN*.cp850, not en_*US*.cp850. That is        VA> important.              O, sorry, I didn't notice the "_EN"...              That was what I first tried, but that made no sense, since I don't have any       en_EN* locales at all (there are the en_GB* locales though).               WvV>> wilnux5:/home/fido/log # locale        WvV>> LANG=POSIX        WvV>> LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8        VA> ^^^^^        VA> This is not correct              Ok.               VA> Make sure that all LC_-s are en_US.cp850. Especially LC_CTYPE.              Ok that did the trick! Just setting LC_CTYPE=en_US.cp850 is enough. So now I       have the following line for starting golded:              sudo -u fido LC_CTYPE=en_US.cp850 luit -encoding 'CP850' /usr/local/bin/golded       -f              The linedrawing characters, and the german characters (with @CHRS: CP437) are       ok too!              So this:              # sudo -u fido LC_CTYPE=en_US.cp850 locale       LANG=POSIX       LC_CTYPE=en_US.cp850       LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"       LC_TIME="POSIX"       LC_COLLATE="POSIX"       LC_MONETARY="POSIX"       LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"       LC_PAPER="POSIX"       LC_NAME="POSIX"       LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"       LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"       LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"       LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"       LC_ALL=              Seems enough to get the right output from golded!?                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.3.0.1-B20240319        * 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           |
