Description of problem: Attempting type a euro symbol, arabic, welsh, cyrillic and other characters gives an '_' not the desired character Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Phoebe2 How reproducible: Run evolution, hit new message attempt to type arabic, welsh etc. (Use character picker with font set to courier to get several sets to play with) Stuff I've checked Locale is UTF-8 set Message sending is UTF-8 Font selected for message display (fixed and variable) is capable of displaying those characters Evolution 1.0.x gets this right. Without these characters Evolution 1.2 is basically not usable outside the USSA/Canada and parts of western europe. It appears evolution 1.2 only displays characters in the first page of unicode space. I've marked this high as its a revert, a bad revert at that and it makes our primary mail app unusuable in much of the world
Seems fine in evolution 1.2.2 with gtkhtml 1.1.8-1 (don't use -2, it's definitely broken in some ways). According to Settings->Font Preferences, my variable width on screen font is Helvetica 12 (the adobe one) and my fixed width is Courier 12. Does it seem better for you with 1.2.2?
1.4 should be much happier with UTF-8
