Hello list Has anybody managed to get UTF-8 support for non-latin characters working in LICQ? Number of users using UTF-8 is increasing, but I can't read these messages with LICQ. That's what I do: I press the ABC button and select from drop-down list item named 'Unicode (UTF-8)' After that, I click 'History' button, but see junk symbols there. The same, of course, when I have default windows encoding set (since messages are not in windows cp1251 encoding).
Has anybody managed to get UTF-8 support working (especially with cyrillic symbols and windows UTF-8 clients like Trillian)? And some technical info follows (i think it can be helpful): I cut the message from the history file, did iconv -f utf-8 that_file, and it looked like another unicode message. So i tried iconv -f utf-8 | iconv -f ucs-2 -- and it worked! Is it possible to make this conversion automatically within LICQ? Can i write my own "charset" for this purpose? Or maybe somebody wrote it already? P.S. Now i use licq-daily snapshot (downloaded this night), licq -h prints: licq version 1.3.1. -- Thanks a lot, Ruslan ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
