Category: None Group: None >Status: Pending Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: kompot (linuxsucks) Assigned to: Ethan Blanton (eblanton) Summary: Trillian/other old clients encoding compatibility Initial Comment: Gaim has numerous issues when trying to comminicate via ICQ with Trillian and some other strange clients (like Miranda). - The offline ICQ messages get displayed in ISO-8859-1 and not in the encoding they were sent - The online messages from these broken clients have the same problem - Gaim tries to send a unicode message to Trillian and Trillian does not support unicode. When the last two items are related to some 3-rd party clients and can be considered their bugs, the first one is obviously a flaw in Gaim itself. Here is what I did to fix it to work with Russian properly: 1) changed the encoding for g_convert to WINDOWS-1251 when the trillian gets a non-unicode message with unrecognized or ISO-8851-1 encoding. 2) Applied the patch that prevents sending a unicode messages to Trillian (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=980497&group_id=235&atid=300235) 3) Added a conversion TO WINDOWS-1251 To the part of th oscar_send_im where it sends the message without any conversion. I believe that otherwise it was sending a unicode message to a client that reported that it does not support it... The result works fine with Trillian for both ICQ & AIM - I will keep testing it with other clients. I would volonteer to create a proper patch from it and make the code page (referred as WINDOWS-1251 above ;-) a configuration parameter. Does it make sense or it is not in sync with the general direction of the Gaim development? For the poor souls who needs the Trillian compatibility now I attach my very dirty patch. It hack the source code to support russian only (probably at expense of some other language - English keeps working fine ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2006-10-28 09:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 This bug is fixed in the most recent version of Gaim.
