Description Michal Jaegermann 2002-01-19 06:43:23 UTC
Description of Problem:

In "Settings" menu for gcharmap it is possible to pick up a font in
an encoding other than iso8859-1 and a displayed table changes accordingly.
But a text at the bottom, a small window under "Help" button which shows
a magnified character, and a "Text to copy:" window still insist on using
glyphs from iso8859-1 set.  This looks particularly ridiculous
and misleading if glyphs are mostly different than iso8859-1.  Say koi-8
or iso8859-7 or even iso8859-2.

Yes, I realize that pasting a text from "Text to copy:" into a terminal
window will have results dependent on fonts used in a given terminal;
but I happen to have classes of gnome-terminal using different font
encodigs adjusted to various needs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-utils-1.4.0-4

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-01-19 16:25:26 UTC
Yeah, gcharmap is totally broken. There's a newer UTF-8 version in GNOME 2, I
wonder if it would be a good idea to upgrade to that.

Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2002-02-26 20:36:46 UTC
Fixes to this problem will come with GNOME 2, only critical bugfixes on GNOME
1.x at this point.
