Description of problem:
99.9% users of Polish linux channels use ISO-8859-2 character table. They would
k+ban me if I start to use UTF-8 Polish characters. There's an option in xchat
that would allow me to use ircII-compatible translation table file, but there
are no such files given with xchat rpm package!


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Not needed
    

Actual Results:  can't speak freely on Polish linux-related irc channels

Comment 1 Paul Osmialowski 2003-05-29 18:00:00 UTC
New xchat has new 'Character Set' option in network settings that resolves the
problem
[root@oyster root]# rpm -qa|grep xchat
xchat-tcl-2.0.2-0
xchat-2.0.2-0
xchat-perl-2.0.2-0
xchat-python-2.0.2-0


Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2003-05-29 21:36:30 UTC
Indeed, this is not a bug. xchat allows configuration of the charset encoding
per connection.  Read the docs.
