[Gaim-devel] UTF8 patch

[Cyril B. <cyr...@sk...>]

I have had problems in the current CVS release with UTF8 handle of  gtk2
in entry area and gtkimhtml area  causing  bad  interpretations  of  non
ascii characters.
So here is a patch from  David  Odin fixing it.
This workaround is probably in progress but the patch may help

Yes.  This is a known issue, and one that will be going away soon.
The problem is that our display widget has moved to UTF-8, but the
input widget remains locale-specific.

Please just be patient with us ...  This patch does temporarily solve
the problem in some places, but we are working on the Right Fix.  :-)
It shouldn't be long now.

  I'm also working on the Right Fix which, imho, is to use the gtk2
widgets (gtktextview/gtktextbuffer). I've already done some of the work
to replace the GtkText edit zone by a GtkTextView. It works well for
basic editing (I've still to port many of the features the old c->entry)
has.
 
  Tell me if you're interested or if I should just give up and be
patient. I have a pretty good knowledge of gtk, so I guess I can help.

Yes, that is the Right Fix.  :-)

I'm not sure if that's a duplication of effort or not...  I now others
have been working on that conversion, but I don't know what kind of
progress has been made.

  Ok. So I'll make my patch clean and send it there soon. If no progress
is made elsewhere, it will always be a good place to go on from.

yes, using gtk2 widgets is the right fix. no i do not know how close
sean/rob/whoever is to this, so i can't advise you to continue working or
be patient.
