Posted at: 2013-09-18, 08:50 Ok, i can confirm this with both b17 and trunk (wrong encoding in mission message boxes), but messages are also affected. WinXP: Windows 7: Perhaps it has something to do with the fact, that the compiled MO files declare "UTF-8" but the actual encoding is ANSI, i am investigating this further... bind_textdomain_codeset(domain, "UTF-8") is declared i18n.cc three times...

This was also precisely the "news window" I was talking about. The whole issues looks strange to me, I do not see why some of the texts are treated differently than others. The translation files are all tagged in the same way as far as I can see, they all are marked as being utf-8 encoded and look good in trunk to me. Also there are 0 issues on Mac OS. Let's see what tino finds out. Top Quote

On Windows 7 all is fine, but on Windows XP i have exactly the same issues. It affects all non-ascii symbols, also the german umlauts äöüß are not displayed in the affected windows. Do the different parts of the message window (buttons, content pane, table...) use different text renderers? Do some of those text go through an additional layer of e.g. lua parsing and others not?

Posted at: 2013-09-28, 09:40 I've found and updated the corresponding bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands/+bug/950767 Also i've tested on Windows Vista which is fine, so it does only happen on good old Windows XP.

Lowercase à is displayed as uppercase À+whitespace. ò and À are fine, so this is a problem specific to this letter rather than the encoding as a whole. Here's a screenshot of the Barbarian Lumberjack help for the gd locale: Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

If someone could look at wesnoth and find out what they did and how they do it, that would be super cool. Top Quote

But wouldn't it be less of a pain to have Unicode throughout, since you will need to deal with non-Latin scripts as well? I know Unicode is more complex, but it might be better in the long run. Wesnoth has 2 GUI implemetations used concurrently. Don't look at the code they use for the Help section, but for what they use for the campaign texts, which even has fulll HTML entity style Unicode support. If you could manage something similar, you would be my hero (protected Hyphens! :-D). Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

I know Unicode is more complex, but it might be better in the long run. Unicode is actually a lot of pain really :). But we kinda do this already - everything in the game is encoded as utf-8 bytestrings and is rendered as such. All the trouble you see on Windows are not reproducible on Mac or Linux: Wesnoth has 2 GUI implemetations used concurrently. Don't look at the code they use for the Help section, but for what they use for the campaign texts, which even has fulll HTML entity style Unicode support. If you could manage something similar, you would be my hero (protected Hyphens! :-D). Well, that is good to know, but comes a little late, as I already did our own rich text rendering engine now :). I looked only at their help system in the past and was not too keen to use it. But what you describe for campaign texts sounds very powerful. Edited: 2013-10-10, 08:44 Top Quote
