Description Matias Piipari 2005-08-16 18:25:19 UTC 
Character encoding (charset) should be a part of the profile.

An example:
I am Finnish and hence often need Scandinavian characters. Some servers where I
need to connect with the terminal do not handle UTF-8 properly (which is the
default charset in my distribution) and hence I need to change to ISO-8859-1 in
these cases. This means useless extra clicks daily.
I should be able to just have a launcher for these cases separately (such as in
a drawer in the panel, which is not really relevant but anyways that's how I'd
personally use it :)

A couple of days ago I filed bug 313480 which adds a "Connect to Server" dialog
to the terminal that lets you choose a different encoding for each server.

Screenshot of servers being edited:

If encoding is added to profiles I guess removing the encoding combo box from
the server editor is the right way to go. However, I think they clearly are a
"per server setting".

This can be marked as a duplicate of bug 108711. I'm about to add some thoughts
about use case and bug 313480 in there as well.
