Hey all!
I've actually been having this particular issue for several 2.7 updates (sorry, didn't take note as to which one) and have been getting a little annoyed with it. So, to the issue! My buddylist, particularly MSN list, is not displaying CJK screen names properly and are being displayed as rectangles with 4 circles across their lengths. The closest I've towards solving the issue is this ticket from pidgin: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/604 There they refer to a "pango.aliases" file. I searched my system for such a file but it does not exist anywhere on it. In fact, the whole directory where they suggest looking doesn't exist beyond the "GTK" folder. I noticed pidgin has since been including GTK packaged with their updates and followed a similar path in the Pidgin directory and everything exists there, with exclusion of the aforementioned pango file. I've tried simply downloading the missing file and place it where it should be and that did not work. I've also just recently uninstalled Pidgin with "Revo Uninstaller" and ran "CCleaner" just in case something was left behind. Reinstalling from there did not work. Now, I have Pidgin installed on a system with nearly similar specs as my laptop and it has all files (can't remember if it has the pango file, though) and displays the buddylist names properly. Something went wrong somewhere and I haven't the slightest what happened. If it matters at all, I have Avast 5.1 and Comodo firewall 5.3 with Def + active. And no, as far as I can tell, nothing to do with Pidgin is being sandboxed. I hope I've managed to explain my problem and steps I took to correct it in a clear manner. If any of you out there have a possible solution in mind, then please let me hear it! Thanks in advance!
