Summary: "Invalid string conversion from UTF-8 to CP1252" with Turkish leader name Project: Freeciv Submitted by: jtn Submitted on: Sun Aug 12 22:31:33 2012 Category: client-gtk-2.0 Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: 2.4.0-beta1 Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: Microsoft Windows Planned Release: _______________________________________________________ Details: Noticed today with the 2.4.0-beta1 Gtk Windows package, but for all I know it's been with us forever -- I haven't checked older versions. When starting a game from the client, in the chat window, I got a single: "Invalid string conversion from UTF-8 to CP1252." I happened to have been dealt the Turks, leader "İsmail Enver" (first character is U+0130 "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE", in case Gna mangles it). A bit of experimentation suggests that it's the leader name that's the problem. And indeed CP1252 doesn't have that character. I'm not sure what is trying to convert to CP1252. The leader name displayed fine in the client everywhere I saw it. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/bugs/?20058> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
