i am still with SM 1.1.14 ... i have lurked into #testday but here in
belgium, the #testday worked during the night :-).
However, i have reached #testday using my prefered irc-client (named
pirch) and also using chatzilla.
Pirch work only with iso-8859-1.
Chatzilla works with any charset, so we can choice between urf-8 (the
default) and iso-8859-1.
When a utf-8 client read an utf-8 post or an iso-8859-1 post using
accentuated characters like some we can see here:
http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/bylanguage/french.html
all characters are readed OK.
When a iso-8859-1 client read an utf-8 post or an iso-8859-1 post using
accentuated characters ... all characters from iso-8859-1 are OK - but -
The accentuated characters from utf-8 are garbage.
I started SM-Chatzilla with the default utf-8.
I sent accentuated chars into an iso-8859-1 guy. Garbage = ok
I received accentuated chars from an iso-8859-1 guy. Perfect = ok
I received accentuated chars from an utf-8 guy. Perfect = ok
I changed the charset to iso-8859-1 in Chatzilla - Global - Clicked
"Apply" then "OK".
I sent accentuated chars into an iso-8859-1 guy. perfect = ok
I received accentuated chars from an iso-8859-1 guy. Perfect = ok
I received accentuated chars from an utf-8 guy. Garbage = ok
I changed the charset to utf-8 in Chatzilla - Global - Clicked "Apply"
then "OK".
I sent accentuated chars into an iso-8859-1 guy. garbage = ok
I received accentuated chars from an iso-8859-1 guy. Perfect = ok
I received accentuated chars from an utf-8 guy. Garbage = NOT OK
I am now in a status where i write in utf-8 and read in iso-8859-1.
The only way to correct this status is to stop then start Chatzilla.
I have no idea about how to permit the developper of SM to test and
reproduce what i am talking about ...
