|    Using GoldED in a UTF-8 gnome-terminal    |
|    09 Nov 12 18:15:36    |
      Hello All,              I'm using GoldED+/1.1.5 under Linux (Fedora 17), but have some charset       issues. The (gnome) terminal from which I start GoldED uses my system       character encoding, i.e., UTF-8. I would like to keep this encoding in the       terminal, but write outgoing messages in CP850, as the people I write messages       to may not be able to correctly read UTF-8 messages. On the command line, I       can type letters with accents (e.g., the letter e with an acute accent, grave       accent, or an umlaut on it) without any problems. In GoldED, however, typing       such a letter causes multiple (two) characters to appear on the screen, of       which the first is a special glyph containing a questionmark, and the second       looks like a space. I have the following in my golded.cfg file:               // Path where the *.ESC and *.CHS files can be found.        XLATPATH /home/niels/.golded/xlat               // Include file with character table declarations; add personal tuning below.        include charsets.cfg               XLATCHARSETALIAS ISO8859-1 LATIN-1               // The character set that incoming messages are assumed to have.        XLATIMPORT CP850 ; Europe               // Default character set for messages that you write.        XLATEXPORT CP850 ; Europe               // The actual physical character set.        XLATLOCALSET UTF-8              As far as I understand the configuration options, this indicates that I want       to receive and send messages in CP850, but my local system is conigured in       UTF-8. With this configuration, I seem to be able to read other people's       messages correctly, even when they use letters with accents (other charsets       such as CP437 or LATIN-1 seem to be translated correctly to my screen).        However, the problem I described above remains, and I also noticed that the       charset placed in my outgoing messages is still UTF-8. Does anyone have any       idea on how I can fix this problem?              Best regards,       Niels              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20120229        * Origin: Niels's FidoNet Node - fido.joncheere.be (2:292/789)    |
