Category: oscar Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Dmitriy Geels (dm_ig) Assigned to: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Summary: ICQ non-unicode charset Initial Comment: There is a flaw in ICQ protocol implementation: one of ICQ bugs is not handled correctly in non-win32 versions of gaim. Because of windoze has 3 charsets for each locale (Unicode, ANSI, OEM), all text sent thru ICQ protocol, which not marked/known as unicode, actually are in ANSI charset. But non-win32 gaim versions doesn't event know about it. So those texts are mapped to first 255 chars in system encoding (UTF-8 in my case). There is a known workaround for this: run gaim like this "LOCALE=cp1251 && gaim". Best solution is to add parameter specially for ICQ protocol for non-win32 versions 'ANSI charset', so user could select it manually. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1664242&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
