Dear Pidgin Support Community, I downloaded Pidgin a few days ago, and have been extremely pleased. I've only encountered one problem: when someone sends me a message with a special character, random errors will occur. A friend sent me a message with the Euro sign €, followed of course by a number amount. When I received the text, the Euro sign and everything following it were simply truncated. He also sent me an o with a strike through it ø, which appeared instead as an X (but did not truncate any of the message).
I have already read about the different required method for typing special characters into Pidgin, though I have been using the character map, which works just fine. I tried copying both of these characters into my own text window, and sending them to a friend, and they both displayed in my typing window and on his screen with no problem. We only encountered the problems when I was trying to receive these characters in a message. Please pardon me if I've overlooked the answer to this question. I don't know much at all about programming, and it may have been staring me right in the face in computer jargon, and I didn't realize it. Thank you in advance for your help! ~Susi W. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
