Default encoding is ISO-8859-1; I also tried ISO-8859-15. It turns out, however, that it was the fault of the Translation setting in licq.conf. I can't find a control in the qt-gui interface which sets this (for that matter, there don't seem to be any docs on it either), so I removed it manually. It was set to UNITED_KINGDOM which must have seemed reasonable at the time [I've been using licq since 0.44] but changing it to none has cured the bit-stripping behaviour. On the other hand, I still can't type words such as "naïve" in the qt-gui because neither the Compose key nor the Meta key work in the input window. I can type it in a terminal window and copy it in, but that seems like too much work. At least I *can* type amounts of money because my keyboard has a "£" key on it which qt-gui recognises. Also, the console plugin works without problems. imc ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
