Re: Urgent !!! 'mutt' in UTF-8

Salam:

So it sounds like you have mutt supporting UTF-8 running. Know you need to read arabic and write it. Am I right ?

If that is what you are asking then here how you can make it do that (althought untested, it should work since mutt now supports utf-8)

- you need a bidi enabled terminal with fonts that support Arabic. I could not recommend mlterm enough. In the case of Debian Users (I am one and hope you are too ;))

On Debian Unstable (testing should be fine too) do:

        # apt-get install mlterm mlterm-tools unifont

        # cd /etc/mlterm/

        # uncomment the unicode font at the end of the "font" file

        # save and start mlterm

# press CTRL+"right-click" on the mlterm window and choose the utf encoding. (turn antialiasing off) and press "Save & Exit"

        # you can now view arabic using mutt (or you should)

        # edit /etc/mlterm/key   and uncomment line

                # Control+backslash=EXT_KBD

by pressing CTRL+\ you can switch to arabic keyboard to type some arabic

Hope this helps.

My setings are:

  ____ ( '/home/michelle/.bash_profile' ) ______________________________
 /
|  export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

|
|  consolechars --font=LatArCyrHeb-16
|  loadkeys --quiet -s fr-latin1
|  # loadkeys --quiet -s arabic
|
|  unicode_start
 \______________________________________________________________________

Then I start 'mutt' on the console.

I have a franco-arabic keyboard, and made a script from which I can select, wether I like to use the french or arabic version.

There was a Tool which change it using <F12> but it does not work for me.

Since I use mutt v 1.5.6i UNICODE does not more work...
Unfortunatly now, where I need it urgently !

Can anyone help me ?

Have a nice week
Michelle
