Hi everyone!
First of all: Thanks a lot for your great work on LICQ as well as
your support, especially Thomas Reitelbach who helped me solve
this problem!
I just wanted to let you know some things learned about LICQ, "¤" and
Debian: I'm running Debian Sarge and tried to get LICQ 1.2.6 working
with the ¤ currency symbol.
Debian Sarge currently (still) comes with KDE 2.2.2, qt2 (2.3.1)
respectively as the standard-qt-libraries. Compiling LICQ's qt-plugin
using those, I always get a question mark "?" instead of the euro-symbol
"¤" when entering it composing a message. An incoming message also
displayed a wrong symbol.
Due to hints from Thomas, I installed Debian's qt3-libraries (Version
3.0.5) and tried again: it worked.
On a different machine (also running Debian Sarge), I downloaded and
compiled qt-3.1.2 by hand and compiled LICQ and the qt-plugin using
these libraries: worked fine too.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to a non-Debian machine using QT2, so
I don't know if the problem only exists with Debian's qt2-packages.
Nevertheless, everything works fine when using qt3 basically.
The only thing which perhaps could be improved would be to auto-detect
the peer client's software: When communicating with a
Mirabilis-ICQ-client, the ¤ symbol only works correctly if I set the
text encoding to "Central European (CP 1250)". As most Windows-based
software seems to use this by default _and_ if auto-dection is possible
(which I don't know), one could perhaps set this encoding for those
clients automatically.
Anyway, thanks again for your work!
Cheers
Max
