Description Wouter Van Hemel 2004-01-17 03:03:31 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.)
