Description Andrew Martynov 2005-04-17 13:57:35 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050328 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-3

Description of problem:
When vimtutor is started in Russian locale then strange text appears.
It seems to be missconverted from 8bit encoding to UTF-8.

Following command makes vimtutor sample text correcly displayed:
$ iconv -f utf8 -t cp1251 /usr/share/vim/vim63/tutor/tutor.ru | iconv -f koi8r -t utf8 | less



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vim-6.3.046-0.30E.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL3 ES
2. Update vim-enhanced to latest version
3. Run LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 vimtutor
  

Actual Results:  Displayed text is unreadable.

Expected Results:  Russian text for vim tutorial

Additional info:

I found what vim.spec file from vim-6.3.046-0.30E.3.src.rpm contains line
----------------
iconv -f CP1251 -t UTF8 tutor.ru > conv/tutor.ru
----------------

Whis is wrong because tutor.ru contains text in KOI8R encoding,
and tutor.ru.cp1251 contains text in CP1251 encoding.

This line should be changed to

----------------
iconv -f KOI8R -t UTF8 tutor.ru > conv/tutor.ru
----------------

the same problem persists in RHEL4 and Fedora Core 4 (test2)

The same bug exists in RHEL4. I'd recommend to commit the patch into RHEL4 CVS
tree too.

Comment 4 Karsten Hopp 2005-05-12 05:32:59 EDT

Patches committed to RHEL-3 and RHEL-4 CVS on Apr 18, 2005.
Waiting for some kind of security issue/severe bug to justify an erratum
