Hey folks, I've been experimenting with sup for the past few days, and of course, I love it. Firstly I had some trouble with getting unicode display going. This problem was already described in an old post on this mailing list:
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/sup-devel/2010-March/000522.html So Arch Linux defines encoding as utf8, but Iconv requires it to be UTF-8. I would say this is a bug in Arch Linux for not following standards, but anyway, I fixed it with the little modification to sup.rb: ## determine encoding and character set $encoding = Locale.current.charset $encoding = "UTF-8" if $encoding == "utf8" Then about wide character support. And I mean really wide. Like CJK characters. Scandics (ä,ö,å) and other European accent characters work nicely, as we all who are concerned probably know. These characters have a byte length of 2 and unicode length of 1. However, take an example of the following two-character Korean word (byte length of such single character is 3 instead of 2!) http://www.kotiposti.net/eiden/soulbound/hellovim.png (looking good in vim) http://www.kotiposti.net/eiden/soulbound/hellosup.png (sup lost 2 characters (or bytes) from the line that has the Korean word) It seems that for every Korean character with a byte length of 3, one byte is lost from the end of the line. In the above example, two bytes are missing in sup, as there are two Korean characters on the same line. If the line consist of a single Korean character, nothing appears in sup (last byte out of three is missing?). If the line consist of two Korean characters, last character is missing (last two bytes out of six are missing?). etc. Some sort of miscalculation somewhere is causing this, perhaps assuming that unicode characters always have a byte length of 2? Can anybody with Ruby skills take a look on this?
