Description sdiconov 2002-08-10 14:41:00 UTC
Gnome-terminal fails to display non-ASCII characters. All my files and
folders have Russian names, programs output Russian messages.  However,
Gnome2-terminal shows ONLY PUNCTUATION SIGNS.

Case A (locale = ru_RU.CP1251 or ru_RU.KOI8-R) - empty spaces are displayed.
Case B (locale = ru_RU.UTF-8) - GARBAGE (8-bit representation of UNICODE)
is displayed.
Comment 1 Luis Villa 2002-08-12 16:00:53 UTC
What library is your terminal built against? If you're not sure, try
'ldd /usr/bin/gnome-terminal | grep vt'. Most likely this is a dup of
bug 78007, which is explicitly mentioned in the gnome release notes.
Comment 2 sdiconov 2002-08-12 17:50:22 UTC
Yes, it can be a dup of 78007.

The library used is indeed libzvt-2.0.so.0. Writing Russian does not
require any complex "input methods", so the problem must be there. It
makes the terminal 100% unusable.
 
Serious efford needs to be put into libzvt (or whatever buggy code is
used instead) before release, because terminal still plays a crucial
role :(.

BTW, I experienced gnome-terminal crashes after accidentally selecting
the ultra-small "nil" font, just like bug 89034.
Comment 3 sdiconov 2002-08-12 17:51:47 UTC
Xterm work great. Can some code be shared?
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2002-08-12 18:02:34 UTC
Discuss it in bug 78007, please.

Comment 6 Hidetoshi Tajima 2002-08-12 19:19:11 UTC
This has been fixed in libzvt-i18n branch of libzvt.

Please update me, otherwise - comment to 78007.
Comment 7 Hidetoshi Tajima 2002-08-12 19:20:49 UTC
And, change this to libzvt anyway.
