Description:
If I display italian (but I think also others language) newsgroup post
Pan can't complete lines with accent characters (eg: ò è é ù) and it
simply truncates the line at the occurence of that character.

When you followup a post the lines it is also truncated but if you try
to select with mouse the remaining characters after the accented one
magically appear. I think is a bug in the visualization of the text in
the gtk box.

Last CVS pan (0.9.7_cvs) I have tried also seems to have this problem.


I have set verdana true type font as default (if this matters).

Please solve this problem: this make reading of italian post
impossibile! :( 
Thanks in advance.

Comment 1 Charles Kerr 2002-03-25 15:45:32 UTC 
0.12.0 completely reworks how fonts & charsets are done.

If you'd like to test it, it's in CVS HEAD now
and requires gtk2.
Comment 2 Charles Kerr 2002-03-30 20:50:13 UTC 
Fixed in CVS.
