[Gaim-devel] Problem with fonts in the latest (CVS) gaim and ICQ...

[Sergey G. <sg...@ya...>]

Hello,

I have the following problem with cyrillic fonts in 
the latest gaim (20030221) and ICQ:
If I send messages in cyrillic from MSN messanger or 
from gaim to gaim, cyrillic seems to be working fine
(both of them are probably sending unicode and 
everything is OK). But if somebody sends me a message 
from ICQ on windows in cyrillic, I'm getting 
a garbage :-(

In an old version of gaim setting the LOCALE to 
ru_RU.KOI8-R done the trick, but in this one it
doesn't.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

  I would be usefull when user can set charset for this type of problems.
Or maybe we should wait until ICQ will go to Unicode..

This doesn't surprise me.

Not yet.  I have some leads, but I don't understand ICQ character sets
just yet.  We're going to have to find an answer to this pretty
quickly, though (I'd like to have it fixed before 0.60cvs ships), so
give me a little time and hopefully I'll have something for you.  :-)
