Comment (by mrb):
I too can confirm this bug, at least with 1.3.2 and 1.3.4 in FreeBSD
portage, although it might be caused by something different than what the
posters above see.
I can use german umlauts but only if the other user has written something
before. If I initiate the chat or the conversation with the other user has
been idle for some time everything after the first umlaut is truncated and
I receive the encoding error message. Umlauts do work for me after
receiving the first message of a user until there appears to be a timeout.
"Send through server" is checked for most contacts.
> 2. Which encoding have you selected in Licq (if any)?
ISO 8859-1, also tried with UTF-8 and UTF-16
> 3. Have you selected any special encoding for the contact you're
chatting with?
No. Tried every single special encoding but no change.
> 4. Do you know which encoding the contact uses (client, operating
system)?
Mostly latest official client on Windows, but also had trouble with Linux
clients (no idea which ones)
My locale is not set properly, although it did not work after setting it
to a german locale as advised above.
