Bug#483464: aptitude: section descriptions are not translated to the locale encoding
On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 10:43:23PM +0200, Michal Politowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] was heard to say: In the pl_PL locale with the ISO-8859-2 encoding, the package sections descriptions from aptitude-defaults.pl are not translated to the locale encoding but the utf-8 strings are displayed as is, which produces unreadable descriptions. Do you get this only in the section descriptions? I can't speak Polish, but when I attempt to run aptitude in ISO-8859-2 I see some odd artifacts elsewhere in the program, such as 1/4 appearing in menu titles. See the attached screen shot, for instance. Daniel attachment: aptitude-screenshot.png

See the attached screen shot, for instance. It looks like Jarek Kaminski was faster than me with the answer, and he is right. With ISO-8859-2 fonts installed, menus etc. look as they should, but the section descriptions display as if they were not recoded from UTF-8, exactly as on his sid screenshot. -- Michał Politowski signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Oddly, the problem turned out to be the opposite -- the UTF-8 was being decoded as if it was ISO-8859-2. I'm not familiar with the intricacies of character encodings, but I suppose that since ISO-8859-2 is an 8-bit character set, this has the effect of passing it through unchanged. Decoding it as UTF-8 fixed the problem. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
