GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 131756
save chosen terminal charset
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Description of Problem: gnome-terminal does not save the current 'character encoding' chosen. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. use different languages in console programs 2. set character encoding according to used language 3. type some words with accents Actual Results: No accents are shown, because the character encoding is always reset for each new terminal (to "Current Locale (ANSI_X3.4-1968)", which is the default C locale I guess). Expected Results: gnome-terminal should remember the preferred character encoding for new tabs/windows. Perhaps as a per Profile setting? If the user chooses a different character encoding than 'Current Locale', this should be remembered as default for new tabs/windows. (Setting user locale to a fixed string is not easy when using different languages. Hence the need for better charset selection that can be remembered. It would be especially handy as a Profile option.)
