I use language FR All game tutorial text seams not using the right charset : every accent chars (like "é") are replaced by crappy chars (like "^@"), that make reading very disturbing (almost impossible). I tried to look at settings, but I was not able to get correct text. what can I do ? I would like to play with my children, but they are not able to read text as it is. any help please. Thank you, regards. Top Quote

Could you open a bug report and provide some screenshots and details about your operating system? The bug tracker is here https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands. Top Quote

Some of polish letters (ą, ź) get wrong too: http://i41.tinypic.com/2uj4iol.jpg WinXP, Widelands: build 17 Edited: 2013-09-16, 14:39 einstein13 calculations & maps packages: http://wuatek.no-ip.org/~rak/widelands/ backup website files: http://kartezjusz.ddns.net/upload/widelands/ Top Quote

I am currently unable to explain what the issue might be - seems to be a Windows only thing, maybe even a Windows XP only thing. einstein13, could you try french as well in b17 and send a screenshot in? hpfx, a screenshot would help from you too.

But i will try again with b17 when i am home again (~ wednesday...). What happens when you select a different font in the options? And i strongly advice to switch to a newer windows version: XP will reach EOL in April 2014! Top Quote

The "é" is replaced by a "'À "(with a space) that make the word unreadable. I have same issue, I'm on WinXP. Regards. Top Quote

I tried several font. note : I'm aware about windows XPsp3 EOL in april next year, but this OS still have big marketshare : 40% worldwide... I plan to migrate, but until that... I wanted to discover widelands with my childrens. Regards, Edited: 2013-09-18, 00:14 Top Quote

Probably in polish we have less problems We used to read with wrong charsets in almost every place (computers, TVs, ...). I even lerned how to read wrong words. It is possible But as you told- it IS a problem.

I assume that the problem is with all message boxes in scenarios, right? Could you check for example the first barbarian mission. ? And I assume that i.e. messages send to you ingame (in the news window, i.e. mails) are properly translated. Please verify these too statements. If this is correct than something super weird seems to happen - strings that are translated from Lua (i.e. scripting in scenarios) seem to return wrong encodings in the translated strings (we expect UTF-8, but it seems to be something else). I found this stackoverflow answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3398113/php-gettext-problems which could match our situation. What I do not understand is why it work on non Windows XP systems. Could a Windows developer sprinckle bind_textdomain_codeset all over the gettext code in Widelands and see if this changes anything? Top Quote
