#1418: "error encoding" message ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: root_42 Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 1.3.5 Component: qt/kde gui | Version: 1.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by flynd):
I have the same problems with swedish characters (åäö).[[BR]] The problem only happens when chatting with some of my friends, I think it is related to which client the peer is using. I'm seeing the problem with trillian but not with miranda or gaim. This applies to messages sent through server as send direct sometimes caused trillian to crash so I'm not sending direct anymore. :-)[[BR]] In 1.3.2 I managed to do a small hack that solved the problem for me but the same thing did not work in 1.3.4.[[BR]] Below is my hack for 1.3.2: diff -Naur licq-1.3.2/src/icqd-tcp.cpp licq-1.3.2-flynd/src/icqd-tcp.cpp --- licq-1.3.2/src/icqd-tcp.cpp 2005-07-22 18:05:03.000000000 +0200 +++ licq-1.3.2-flynd/src/icqd-tcp.cpp 2005-10-22 00:27:51.000000000 +0200 @@ -118,6 +118,10 @@ bUTF16 = true; if (szFromEncoding == 0) szFromEncoding = strdup("UTF-8"); +if(strcmp(szFromEncoding, "") == 0) { + free(szFromEncoding); + szFromEncoding = strdup("ISO8859-1"); +} szMessage = gTranslator.ToUTF16(mDos, szFromEncoding, nUTFLen); free(szFromEncoding); } -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.licq.org/ticket/1418#comment:9> Licq <http://www.licq.org/> Licq - an instant messaging client for UNIX.
